I disagree with your assessment here.

I don't understand this statement at all. I am assuming you mean you would like to see content in this show that isn't being presented elsewhere. If so, what, SPECIFICALLY, would you suggest? I think the content should include some technical discussions with specific products or technologies. To use the example you brought up, MPLS, we could build a small MPLS network using Mikrotik and Cisco or any other product. There could be a couple of sessions explaining the technology, THEN we could provide a "breakout session" where people could come in and experiment under the direction of someone who is knowledgeable in the particular area. This could be a vendor, consultant or end user. It wouldn't matter WHO provided the configuration, but someone who could answer questions about the demo. I don't see this as "pushing a vendor specific content" as much as USING a known vendor for a particular technology. Along the same lines, I'd suggest a round table type discussion for other product offerings such as wireless polling, for example. You could have a Canopy guy and some "normal" people (sorry...just a JOKE). Back to reality, it could be Canopy, Mikrotik (nstreme) and maybe Alvarion or some others. Each could offer a short "pitch" of what makes their solution better (about 5 minute limit each) and the remainder of the session could be Q&A. I'm not recommending any particular content, but suggesting ideas for what I would consider appropriate vs inappropriate content. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://www.wispa.org/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
