NANOG Website Redesign Project
by Randy Epstein 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Greetings NANOG community, NANOG is in the process of completely redeveloping its website (http://www.nanog.org) and is looking for feedback from the community and NANOG members. One of the primary goals of the redesign is to present a clean, yet functional and up to date website, improving delivery of information to NANOG members and sponsors, as well as providing attraction to potential new members and sponsors. Additionally, a mobile-compatible version of the website with access to the same up to date information that the full website offers is another goal of ours. We have a long list of features that have been discussed within the various Committee and Board meetings. We however, want to make sure we hear more from the community, as our goal is to serve your needs. If you have a wish list item (or items)?, or thoughts about what works well on current site and what we need to make sure to improve, please send your opinions to us. We've set up a special email address where you can directly contact the folks working on the website re-design project. The address is CommunityFeedback(a)nanog.org. We're hoping to launch the website prior to the new year, so the sooner you get those great ideas to us, the sooner we can move the project forward. Thank you, Randy Epstein Chairman, NANOG Communications Committee On behalf of the Website Redesign Team

Call for Volunteers -- NANOG Education Committee
by Steve Gibbard 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

(my apologies to those receiving a second copy of this. The first copy ran into a mail filtering issue and didn't go out to most of the list) At the Vancouver meeting in June, I presented a preliminary proposal for a NANOG education initiative, which would put together a NANOG-created educational program for junior (and possibly more advanced) network operators. There was broad support from the community, and now it's time to refine the idea and turn it into something that can be implemented. We are seeking volunteers to join the Education Committee and work on the final proposal and its implementation. Among the issues that need to be decided are: - What format should the classes have? - What subject matter should they cover, and what should the curriculum be? - Who should be teaching them -- volunteers from the community or paid instructors? - Where should the classes be taught? At NANOG venues before, after, or during the conferences? At independent sites at non-conference times? - Cost structures: What should the classes cost and what will be included? - Other sources of financial support: Tuition? Sponsorships? Donations? Subsidies from the NANOG conferences? - And all sorts of other issues The expected commitment from members of the Education Committee will be as follows: - Attend bi-weekly conference calls - Research issues as needed, and provide feedback to the group The goal will be to have a reasonably solid proposal in time for the October NANOG meeting, and a final proposal in time for the February meeting. If you are interested in volunteering for this committee, please contact me. Thanks, Steve Gibbard NANOG Board scg(a)newnog.org
