[Nanog-futures] More information about this morning's announcement?

2010-04-14 Thread Steve Gibbard
I'm wondering if there's any more information available about the efforts to separate NANOG from Merit (as announced by Steve Feldman this morning in mail to the main NANOG list). It sounds like there's already an effort to incorporate an organization. What sort of staff and budget is it

Re: [Nanog-futures] The Peering BOF and the Fallout?

2008-02-28 Thread Steve Gibbard
I'm sorry to be a bit contrarian here, but... Looking at the crowd that assembles for the peering BOF, it's clearly one of the more popular things on the NANOG program. It may not draw the raw numbers of people that the general session does, but it does tend to pack whatever room it's in.
