Lightning talk submissions for NANOG50 are now open
by Dani Roisman 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Greetings folks, A lightning talk is a 10-minute presentation or speech by any attendee on any topic relevant to the NANOG audience. If you have a something that's timely, interesting, or even a crackpot idea you want to share, we encourage you to consider presenting it. For those of you aspiring to give a full talk at a future NANOG, this is a great way to test drive the podium and get in front of the crowd! While we've previously had two or three days of lightning talks during a conference, at NANOG50 we will only be doing lightning talks *one* day: Tuesday 2:30 PM - 3:00 PM. The sooner we see yours, the better the chance to get up on stage to fill one of three openings. So... you're interested? Simply visit http://pc.nanog.org/lightning/ and submit your abstract before 5:00PM EST on Monday Oct 4. While you're waiting for a response, get your slides ready to go should your talk be selected. The Program Committee will vote on all Lightning Talk submissions onsite at the meeting, and a submitter will be notified about his or her submission on Monday evening. See you all in Atlanta next week! - Dani Roisman (for the NANOG PC)

Call for Nominations - Communications Committee
by Michael K. Smith - Adhost 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Hello: Nominations for the NANOG Communications Committee are now open. This is a great way to become involved and serve the NANOG community. From the website: "The Communications Committee is a group of five individuals from the NANOG community who together are responsible for the administration and moderation of the NANOG mailing lists. A new Communications Committee will be selected by the Steering Committee after the election in October. Two positions are to be filled. The currently-serving Communications Committee members whose terms are expiring are Randy Epstein and Tim Yocum. The main NANOG mailing list serves an important role in the community by providing a day-to-day forum for network operators. Participating as a member of the Communications Committee gives you the opportunity to make a noticeable contribution. The Communications Committee is covered under section 7.1.2 of the NANOG charter." If you are interested in volunteering on the Communications Committee, please either volunteer yourself or nominate someone you feel would be willing and able to serve. Please send nominations to nominations(a)nanog.org and include your name, company affiliation, a brief biography and a statement of interest. This information will be posted to the NANOG website in the coming weeks. Please see http://www.nanog.org/governance/elections/2010elections/index.php for more information as well as samples of previous candidate submissions. Kind Regards, Michael K. Smith NANOG Communications Committee Chair
