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

NANOG Women in Tech: A Conversation with Micheala Clifford
by NANOG News 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

*"Get as much experience as you can, and make yourself known." * Though women make up 47 percent of all employed adults in the US, they hold only 25 percent of computer-science roles, and only 14 percent of software engineering roles. For women of color, the gap is even wider: Black women hold only 2 percent of all computing jobs, and Latinx women hold just 1 percent. There are some truly amazing women in the NANOG community, but we'd love to see far more. That’s why we work with colleges and universities, affiliate NOGs, and tech communities to provide greater access to our tools, resources, and programming across North America, with particular focus on the education and empowerment of students, women, and people of color. Our newest series on NANOG TV further explores the stories and career paths of some of the most exceptional women we know. Watch our first interview, featuring Micheala Clifford of Netflix, to learn more about her experience as a woman navigating the world of network engineering.
