Let's not get distracted with these ridiculous posts asking for
"submissions" to our so-called "conference". I've been following futures
silently for over a year, and I heard the first good idea a few weeks
ago: a live play depicting the political goings-on of NANOG; here's a
scene that simply must be included:

Martin trying to smoke crack with a *torch* held by Vijay.

It was a legit question and I thought exactly the same thing about it
going to the list and was checking before I forwarded it.
  When I do speak as someone
from the MLC, Ill say so. I usually do.
   May have been easier to ask what I meant before jumping the gun.

2007-12-04 Thread Ren Provo
The most interesting part of my attempt to spark participation in
future meetings is that Merit reminded me of a mailing list I hadn't
given any thought to at all - NANOG Announce.  Perhaps that is where
the plea for assistance should have been distributed.  I didn't post
it on the main list to prevent a thirty-man thread about how it
wouldn't fit into a switch, router, or electrical outlet in an
exchange point.  Meeting preparation seemed to be more futures and
less operations focused.  I just wanted to give an opportunity for
those with good intent to make the deadline.  Period.

Cheers, -Ren Provo, Program Committee

Well, there are no coups, firings or whatever happening on the various
NANOG committees. I do agree that much of the recent "discussion" here
has had very little to do with nanog-futures, and has had a lot to do
with bringing our entire community into disrepute. As you rightly point
out, there are more participants than just North American network
operators on both the nanog-futures and main nanog lists, and some of
the disappointing antics seen recently do nothing to enhance the
reputation of our industry or improve NANOG itself.

Obviously such announcements go to the nanog-announce list. If any
changes happen before the election/appointment cycle repeats itself in
October next year, you'll find out there.

Finally, an appeal! Everyone, please, can we all get back to talking
about future developments, improvements, etc that are required for NANOG.

Thanks,

philip

I think Marty was asking why it was posted to -futures rather than to the main 
list, with the implication that it would have been on-topic there, and would 
certainly reach a wider audience.

I have no idea what is going on here but can the people on various
committees please resign, fire, stage coups or whatever in private rather
than involving innocent list members (and "The Register" reporters
scanning the archives) who can't really participate since we only see 10%
of what is happening.

Please post a summary of the updated Committee/Administrator membership
once this is over.

First, it was a post to -futures; whether or not it was off-topic for
the main list is completely beside the point.  Even if it was on the
main list though (and frankly, I think it SHOULD HAVE been posted to
the main list), this is a CFP for *our own conference*.  How on earth
could it be "not relevant to the main list"?

Please do us all a favor and stop undermining the credibility of your

This is the second time someone from the Program Committee has posted
something that seemed to be asking for something to help our success
or informing people about standard (revenue generating even) functions
of NANOG and that they believe that these types of emails related to
the conference program are not relevant to the main list.

Why is that?

Hi folks,

This is a reminder to submit presentations for NANOG42 in San Jose, CA
to be held February 2008.  Quality abstracts have been arriving over
the past month.  A few people promised to send along presentations in
December.  If anyone has a work in progress to submit please do so
now.  The program committee will meet this week to pull together the
rough draft of the agenda for NANOG42.  We have confirmed a keynote
speaker and several interesting panels are on the schedule already.
We have some flexibility for tutorials on Sunday and a few general
assembly speaker slots at this point.  There will be blocks for
lightning talks each day and you may submit presentations in advance
of February.  This is a good thing based on survey info.   Our goal is
to set forth a solid agenda for folks to utilize when mulling travel
requests this month.

http://www.nanog.org/presentations.html is the best location to review
for complete submission guidelines.

Many thanks in advance!
