[apops] NZNOG'04 : Announcement and Call for Presentations

[Simon Lyall <simon.lyall@ihug.co.nz>]

The next meeting of the New Zealand Network Operators' Group is to be held
in Hamilton on January 29th and 30th 2004. Our hosts are the University of
Waikato's WAND Network research group.

NZNOG meetings provide opportunities for the exchange of technical
information and discussion of issues relating to the operation of network
services, with particular emphasis on New Zealand.

NZNOG invites presentations on relevant topics. Suitable topics include,
but are not limited to: Operation of the DNS in New Zealand; Carrier IP
network structures; Internet exchange activities; VoIP deployment; IP
Routing theory or practice; Access technologies; Network management tools
and practices. Presentations from researchers and from practitioners are
welcomed.

Presentations don't need to fit any particular fixed length. In addition
to more substantiative talks we hope to include a session of very short
presentations this year as a forum for floating an idea or reporting on a
discovery in a less formal manner. The possibility exists that the meeting
might be extended beyond two days to accommodate suitable material.

Suggestions for topics for presentations or discussions are also welcome.

Prospective presenters should in the first case send email to
talks@nznog.org describing their intended presentation topic, and giving
some idea of the level of detail and length of presentation which would
suit them. We'd prefer to receive offers to present sooner rather than
later, but the deadline is 23 November 2003, with the last acceptances to
be notified not later than 30 November.

Further information, as it becomes available, will be posted at:
www.nznog.org
