NANOG’s new website has launched!
by NANOG Marketing 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Welcome to our all-new web presence, with a community-first approach. Since our original charter was formed, we’ve seen many changes as an organization, and grown substantially: branching off from Merit to become an independent, self-governing organization; growing the NSFNET’s Regional-Techs meetings from a handful of engineers to often hosting more than 1,200 attendees at our tri-annual conferences; hiring a new Executive Director, Edward McNair; and doubling our staff. On the top of McNair’s list in his first year as Executive Director? Refreshing NANOG’s decades-old identity, and revamping the organization’s web presence. "Helping NANOG continue to evolve as an organization for the 21st century is one of my primary goals,” says McNair. "The website served us well for many years, but has remained unchanged since NANOG was founded. We needed a website that not only made the experience of engaging with us in a digital space more efficient and enjoyable,” he continues, “but one that also adequately reflected our innovative and diverse community.” Quick links + highlights you won’t want to miss: - NANOG 77 <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog-77/> - Future Meetings <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/future/> - Past Meetings <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/past/> - NANOG Membership <https://www.nanog.org/participate/membership/> - NANOG Mailing List <https://www.nanog.org/resources/nanog-mailing-lists/> - Archive <https://archive.nanog.org/> - The new site is fully optimized so you can more easily register, plan your stay, schedule appointments, and submit a presentation for an upcoming meeting — even from a mobile device. - Access tools to help you grow and evolve in your field, such as: tips for crafting presentations <https://www.nanog.org/participate/tools-tips/> that resonate with your audience; a guide of the most commonly used acronyms <https://www.nanog.org/resources/acronym-guide/> in our industry; and a directory of other like-minded orgs <https://www.nanog.org/resources/organizations-our-community/> in our community. - Read member features and stories on our new blog <https://www.nanog.org/stories/>, plus keep up with ongoing industry news <https://www.nanog.org/news-stories/nanog-news/>. - Follow us + join the convos happening on NANOG’s social media channels (quick links in the site footer). - Learn more about the tools and resources <https://www.nanog.org/outreach/nanog-outreach/> we offer for students and working professionals, which are central to NANOG’s mission. - Learn more about the many ways you can support NANOG — run for office <https://www.nanog.org/about/who-we-are/elections-nominations/>; volunteer your time; make a donation <https://www.nanog.org/participate/donate-nanog/>; become a community ambassador <https://www.nanog.org/outreach/get-involved/>; shepherd a new attendee; or give a presentation <https://www.nanog.org/participate/presentation-guidelines/> — all in one place. - Discover the value of investing <https://www.nanog.org/participate/value-sponsorship/> in the strength of the NANOG community, and view sponsorships <https://nanog.org/meetings/nanog-77/sponsorship-opportunities-nanog-77/> currently available. - Learn how we’re working to ensure every NANOG space is a safe + welcoming place to gather, for each and every member of our community, through NANOG’s updated Code of Conduct <https://www.nanog.org/about/code-conduct/>.

2019 Program Committee Appointees
by L Sean Kennedy 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Dear NANOG Community, Thanks for joining us in San Francisco and online for NANOG 75! I am excited to announce that 16 NANOG members accepted appointments to the Program Committee! There were 31 highly-qualified volunteers from the NANOG membership nominated for this year’s committee selection and it was a challenging exercise for the board to appoint a subset to serve this upcoming term. NANOG as an organization was founded by volunteers who set out to provide a high quality operator forum in North America. Despite the growth in NANOG’s programs, volunteers greatly outnumber professional staff and the volunteer-only Program Committee is responsible for soliciting, developing, and selecting all program content presented at NANOG meetings and other events. I personally thank each of the volunteers who were nominated for offering their time to NANOG and in early 2020 we hope to have them and other qualified candidates participating in our next appointment cycle to ensure appointment of a similar qualified and diverse cross-section of our community. Please join me in congratulating the PC members appointed. Tom Beecher, Jeff Bartig, Jason Bothe, Adam Davenport, Steve Feldman, Cat Gurinsky, Greg Hankins, Alex Latzko, Hossein Lotfi, Steve Meuse, Nagendra Kumar Nainar, Kat Parsons, Rekha Rawat, Brad Raymo, Matthew Ringel, and Anna Valsami Please thank and recognize the contributions of Christina Chu, Philippe Couture, Mohit Lad, Ryan Landry, Jeff Ringwelski, Krassimir Tzvetanov, Chris Woodfield, and Ryan Woolley for their service to NANOG on the Program Committee. In the coming weeks, the new Program Committee will hold its first meeting to develop content for NANOG 76 and select its leadership. The NANOG board is excited to see what the new PC will present to our community at that meeting and hope to see all of you in Washington DC in June! Thanks, Sean (for the NANOG Board of Directors)
