Michael, Dave, and fellow attendees,
I didn't keep count, but I think the small crew from Team Cymru reached
and probably exceeded the mark. I had four Team Cymru people with me,
all, except myself, had never been to a NANOG before. While they each
found something uniquely beneficial in the content, I'm certain they
would have enjoyed it far less if they were always standing around
talking to themselves during breaks. For those of you I knew, even if
just a little, and maybe disrupted with a brief introduction to my
fellow team members, thanks for making them feel welcome and a bit more
learned in all things NANOG.
John
