NANOG PC Selection
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)

*A conversation with Charisse Stokes + Trent Edwards of the Montgomery, Alabama Chamber of Commerce.* “Our diversity of background, thought, and experience — as well as race and gender — give us the best opportunity to compete, and succeed," says Trent Edwards of the Montgomery, Alabama Chamber of Commerce.

We recently had a conversation with Trent and Charisse, where we got to talk about the initiatives they’re currently working on, and how those align with NANOG’s mission to empower people and inspire change.

Hands-on learning at NANOG Hackathons 👉
by NANOG Marketing 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.
