by NANOG Marketing 25 Mar '20

25 Mar '20

The health and safety of the NANOG community is our top priority. The NANOG Board of Directors and Staff continue to assess preventative measures concerning COVID-19, and if necessary, will take appropriate action to reduce transmission of the virus. Based on the CDC’s recommendations to cancel or postpone events that consist of 50 people or more, we canceled the NANOG Connect event, previously scheduled for March 27 in St. Louis. We have also tasked the NANOG Program Committee (PC) with exploring the option of enhancing our platform to allow for remote participation at NANOG 79, and future meetings, in addition to in-person attendance. The PC will communicate more details about this option as we draw closer to NANOG 79. Registration to attend NANOG 79 (June 1-3, in Boston) remains open <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog-79/nanog-79-registration/>, and early-bird registration has been extended to May 1, 2020. We encourage the community to continue submitting talk proposals <https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog-79/submit-presentation/> for NANOG 79, and all future meetings. As NANOG 79 draws closer, we will keep the community informed with further details. Our next update will be on April 15. To learn more about COVID-19, we suggest consulting the following authoritative sources in NANOG's service region: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention <https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/about/index.html>, the World Health Organization <https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019>, and Harvard Medical School <https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/coronavirus-resource…>, which include common-sense advice on prevention and treatment. Please contact us with any additional questions or concerns at any time: nanog-support(a)nanog.org Sincerely, The NANOG Board of Directors and Staff

by L Sean Kennedy 21 Feb '20

21 Feb '20

NANOG Community, Thank you for joining us in San Francisco, and online <https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO8DR5ZGla8jSzWlrWt_cz13LLAz44rHY>, for NANOG 78! I am excited to announce that 13 NANOG members accepted appointments to the Program Committee. 27 highly-qualified volunteers from the NANOG membership were nominated for this year’s committee selection, so we personally thank each NANOG member who offered their time and hope they participate in future committee solicitations. As an organization, NANOG was founded by volunteers who developed a quality forum for North America’s operator community. Despite the growth in NANOG’s programs, volunteers greatly outnumber professional staff, and the volunteer-only Program Committee (PC) is wholly responsible for soliciting, developing, and selecting all program content presented at NANOG meetings and other events. Please join me in congratulating the appointed PC members: Aaron Ali Atac, Jason Bothe, Vincent Celindro, Michael Costello, Elizabeth Culley, Cat Gurinsky, Tom Kacprzynski, John Kristoff, Ognian Mitev, Rekha Rawat, Michael Voity, Eddy Winstead, and Chris Woodfield. Please also join me in thanking and recognizing the many contributions of PC alumni Michaela Clifford, Nagendra Kumar Nainar, Chris Pennisi, and Steven Schecter. The PC met and elected the following leaders: Chair - Vincent Celindro Vice Chair - Steve Feldman Secretary - Cat Gurinsky We are truly excited to see what the community will submit to the PC for NANOG 79 so please submit talk ideas at https://nanog.org/meetings/submit-presentation/. And please join us in June for our first full meeting in Boston if you can! Thanks, Sean (for the NANOG Board of Directors)

Hands-on learning at NANOG Hackathons 👉
by NANOG Marketing 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

*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.
