I'd pay a fee, but only if it were charged to really cover and reflect costs, not out of general principle to keep out random people.
Cheers,

I totally agree with you Thomas.
Personally I'm looking for a job (and I think I'm not the only one) but still interested about the Swiss Internet scene. I think it's a bad step to try to create an exclusive and elitary club out of the open-minded SwiNOG. I can understand that the organisation of a meeting is not for free and in the actual economic situation even "big companies" think twice before spending a couple of hundred francs. What about a membership fee to cover (or partly cover) the costs of the meetings ? People which are really interested will not have a problem to pay let say 50.-- /Year.

Catching up on threads so sorry about the delay.the horizon,
I personnally don't agree in limiting the amount of people and
people that are not "concerned" with Operations will maybe onlyattend one
meeting and then understand that there is no really interestfor them. Take
also the case of "consultants" that don't actually operate a network butmean they can't
advise others on how to improve their operations, does that
come to the meetings?meetings a year
I would prefer to pay a little, get a larger room, have 3
and allow all the people that are interested in the content ofthe meetings
to attend.other peoples.
My .2 cents Thomas

Hi Togetherpersons
We know, we was not the fasted for registriation to the swinog6, but we are asking, if the swinog-meeting should not be restricted a little bit, if there is not to much place.
We have seen, that some company sent out 5-6 People (i.e. IP-Plus). At the other hand, we have seen, that there are participants, which are not realy swiss network operators (i.E. Roche or Students). We thought, that this meetings are in primary to exchange information between the swiss network operators (ISP's).
We don't think that this user group should be A CUG, but perhaps
if there isn't enoght place, that at first, ISP are welcome (max. 2
per ISP), and if there is still place, the could be also
That should be just an idea to think about. Comments welcome.
Regards
Patrick Studer
