NANOG 82 and NANOG 83 Announcements
by NANOG News 30 Mar '21

30 Mar '21

NANOG 82 To ensure our community's safety and well-being, the NANOG Board and Staff have determined that the in-person component of NANOG 82 will not be possible. Instead, we will hold a virtual meeting on June 14-16, 2021. Additional information about meeting registration will be forthcoming. The Program Committee is actively seeking talk proposals for the NANOG 82 virtual meeting and welcomes anyone interested in sharing their experiences, ideas, or the latest technologies with the greater NANOG community to submit a virtual presentation proposal by Monday, April 12, 2021. NANOG 83 Looking ahead to the NANOG 83 meeting later this year, we are excited to announce that NANOG 83 is being planned as our first hybrid meeting; we are planning an in-person meeting for those who can travel combined with a robust virtual experience. Unfortunately, due to circumstances related to the pandemic, please be aware that the date and location will be different from what was previously planned. We anticipate that the in-person meeting will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota, November 1-3, 2021. The meeting schedule will include a delayed start time to accommodate travel for those with Halloween-related plans. The ARIN conference will be held in conjunction with NANOG at the same location on November 4-5, 2021. Information related to COVID-19 changes frequently, please recognize we may have to change our plans for NANOG 83. Likewise, it is difficult to predict what preventative requirements will be in place at the meeting time. Please know that we will continue to closely monitor CDC guidelines and will share information as we get closer to the event. The safety of our community continues to be our top priority. Please contact us with any additional questions or concerns at any time: nanog-support(a)nanog.org Sincerely, The NANOG Board of Directors + Staff

Reinventing the wheel on a path to deeper learning
by NANOG News 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

We’d be hard pressed to name many teenagers as thoughtful, curious, and open to new experiences as Nate Sales. Now in his junior year at the Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Oregon, he has already built, designed, and engineered more than most people twice his age. Nate not only manages his school’s robotics team, he also developed an app to track on-campus movement during COVID 19, coordinates radio communications for the Amateur Radio Emergency Service, is a Reliability Engineer at Fosshost, and sits on the advisory board of the Emerald Onion — a Seattle nonprofit and encrypted transit ISP. We spoke with Nate recently about his path into tech, and his experience presenting at a NANOG conference, where he was — to our collective knowledge — the youngest to ever do so. What struck us most was his curiosity and willingness to build, dismantle, and rebuild again in the name of new discoveries and greater insights; an ethos all of us could stand to learn from.

NANOG Community, The NANOG Program Committee (PC) would like to remind you they are accepting proposals for all sessions at NANOG 82, June 14-16, 2021.

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.

Please submit initial draft slides early — the PC does not evaluate submissions until draft slides are available for review. NANOG Staff is available to assist with slide templates upon request from the submitter. - Panel and Track submissions should provide a topic list and intended/confirmed participants in the abstract. - PC reviews the slides and continues to work with Submitter as needed to develop the topic. - Draft presentation slides should be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (April 12, 2021). - PC evaluates submissions to determine presentations for the agenda (posted on May 10, 2021). - Agenda assembled and posted. - Submitters notified. - Final presentation slides must be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (May 10, 2021 for Pre-recordings).
