*A conversation with Michael Costello * “In school, students are starting to learn the basics, and hopefully they'll have some labs,” says Michael Costello, Manager of Network Tools at Netflix. “On the job, most work is done maintaining or extending systems, and nearly all this work is constrained to only technologies that are relevant to the business. Here, the entire day is hands-on after an optional tutorial, and given the topics and technologies, there is likely something that will be novel to all participants.” We recently had a conversation with Michael, who’s been instrumental in planning and executing five NANOG Hackathons, including the NANOG 77 hack in Austin, Texas. Learn more about these events, which not only foster greater networking knowledge, but also directly support the most critical aspects of our mission as a nonprofit organization dedicated to building the Internet of tomorrow.

NANOG Community, The NANOG Program Committee (PC) is excited to announce that we are now accepting proposals for all sessions at NANOG 78 in San Francisco, California, February 10-12, 2020. Below is a summary of key details and dates from the Call For Presentations on the NANOG website, which can be found at https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog-78/submit-presentation/ Given by many of the industry’s top minds, presentations at NANOG meetings are meant to spark the imagination, encourage dialog, and drive new solutions to our greatest networking challenges. The PC is currently seeking proposals, and also welcomes suggestions for speakers and topics. Presentations may cover current technologies, soon-to-be deployed technologies, and industry innovation. Vendors are welcome to submit talks which cover relevant technologies and capabilities, but presentations should not be promotional, or discuss proprietary solutions. The primary speaker, moderator, or author should submit a presentation proposal and abstract via the Program Committee Tool at: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/submit-presentation/ - Sign in with your Profile Account - Select the type of talk you propose to present, and complete the title and abstract Timeline for submission and proposal review: - Submitter enters abstract (and draft slides if possible) in Program Committee Tool prior to the deadline for slide submission. - PC performs initial review and assigns a “shepherd” to help develop the submission — within 2 weeks. - Submitter develops draft slides of talk if not already submitted with the initial proposal. Please submit initial draft slides early — the PC does not evaluate submissions until draft slides are available for review.
