Connecting networks across borders, and the world: A conversation with Alejandra Moreno + Joel Pacheco
by NANOG News 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

*“Here you can find mentors, friends, and colleagues who are willing to help you and share their knowledge.”* Everything Alejandra Moreno and Joel Pacheco do is centered on community, collaboration, and connectivity — from routing traffic to and from the MEX-IX, to peering relations and education with networks around the world. The two, who work together at MDC Data Centers in McAllen, Texas, first met while attending NANOG 70. We spoke with them recently about the role of empathy and a shared sense of purpose in staying connected during a pandemic; translating passion into action through one's professional work; and the importance of teamwork and mentorship in growing and evolving a career.

NANOG 80 will be a virtual meeting 👉
by NANOG News 27 Jul '20

27 Jul '20

*NANOG 80 will be held as a virtual meeting to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our community — the in-person meeting in Seattle has been canceled. * In light of continued COVID-19 outbreaks throughout North America, the NANOG Board of Directors and Staff have decided to hold NANOG 80 <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog-80/> exclusively as a virtual meeting. When surveying our community, the majority of respondents said they would not attend in-person, and would only feel comfortable doing so if there was a widely available COVID-19 vaccine. We feel the decision to hold the meeting online best ensures everyone’s safety. The NANOG Staff and Program Committee (PC) are working hard to provide the best virtual experience for NANOG 80, which will be held online from October 19-21, 2020. The program will offer three days of best-in-class talks, tutorials, keynotes, and panels, peer reviewed and developed by the PC. Elections for the NANOG Board of Directors will also take place during NANOG 80, with nominations opening August 17. The NANOG 80 registration fee will be $250. If this presents a hurdle to your attendance, we encourage you to apply for a NANOG 80 fellowship — details on how to apply will be announced soon. The PC is actively seeking talk proposals <https://www.nanog.org/participate/call-presentations/> for the NANOG 80 program, and welcomes anyone interested in sharing their experiences, ideas, or the latest technologies with the greater NANOG community to submit a proposal for a virtual presentation by Monday, August 24. We will continue to keep you informed about the meeting, with announcements when NANOG 80 registration opens and the agenda is live. Please contact us with any additional questions or concerns, at any time: nanog-support(a)nanog.org Sincerely, The NANOG Board of Directors + Staff
