It was mentioned in the chat this morning that there was no link to slides or anything on the agenda for the community meeting that happened this morning, so I offered to share the notes I was jotting down during the meeting, to give an idea of what was covered for those in timelines not as friendly to the meeting time, or to those with conflicts. ^_^;
Thanks so much to the staff, Elizabeth, Steve, and Ed for the great presentations this morning!

special announcements: fill out surveys! The PC reads all of them! And if you're a lucky winner, you'll get a $100 gift card!
Looking for presentation proposals for NANOG82!
check out sponsors at virtual expo both; sponsors have stepped up to the challenge with interesting offerings.
first talk today is hosted by edward mcnair, with Elizabeth Culley and Steve Feldman.
Ed Mcnair has been with nanog since 2005, and has been ED since 2018;
Steve has been contributing to nanog since its inception since 1994, and has been involved with PC for the last 20 years.
Elizabeth Culley is peering coordinator with comcast, and is completing her first year on the PC; this is her first time presenting to NANOG.
welcome edward, steve and elizabeth, it's great to have you here.
Edward takes a few moments to give some updates on the organization; strategic plan narrowed to 3 areas; education, meeting experience, online collaboration,
another piece built out is the strategic timeline; encompasses from NANOG73 to NANOG 85. purpose is to see what we are aiming to achieve and what we will put forward. we always like to hear your comments, there is a feedback button that goes to NANOG staff, and he reads them all.
Take a moment to honor the nanog staff; counting himself, there are 6.5 staff members, as Claudia works with them halftime. Claudia, Leigh, Valerie, Shawn, Darrieux (Dee), and Brandi all work very hard to ensure that we can have a quality program.
Our 2020 annual report will be coming out soon; to give a linear record of what we've accompished over the course of 2020;
we'll do polls at the end of the section;
log into the polls at pollEV.com/nanog
Over to Steve feldman; at end of every NANOG, there is a Program commitee get together; after SF, decided to have retreat in 2020; planned to do it in Boston or Seattle; but then things changed, and they couldn't get together in person; so they had a virtual retreat, 2 days, dec 16 2020, and jan 13 2021 to go over various items.
some of the items covered: PC structure new member onboarding PC handbook update mentorship leadership review roles, responsibliities need to document them better subcommittees are we optiimizing our effort? some don't seem to do much. will add some new ones. diversity of skills and perspectives need to get people who have different industry perspectives.
other topics at virutal retreat meeting format how to do hybrid meetings we optimize time for training and tutorial we focus on human interaction; need to accomodate people in different timezones. talk solicitation and selection attracting new speakers expanding the audience standardize voting content review PC's strategic vision.
Liz, chairing our data analysis effort; for past 20 years, we've been building a repository of tracks, tutorials, keynote speeches, lightning talks; we have a long history of hosting the voices of those building the internet. what comes up in NANOG is often in the leading edge of technology trends; this effort will be to mine the repository, to help us keep up with the onslaught of demand.
cataloging NANOG; we are recording the details of every presentation, tutoria and keynote; tagging each record with relevant metadata provide intuitive web page of popular topics porovide data to potential speakers on history of any topic which topics are asked for most often which videos are most viewed.
use surveys and data on view counts to project topics that will be of most interest.
looking at last 5 years of NANOG data; how many times this topic 44 topics on DNS 40 requests for automation, but 26 talks on automation Geoff Huston comes up a lot look at how many times talks are viewed on youtube; 27K views of 44 DNS talks on youtube; 26 automation videos got 77K views.
A lot of people would say they're experts in a field; how can they talk about their job when it's 100% proprietary, and they can't talk about their day job; take a look at the request counts, how many presentations we get, so even doing a 101 intro class is a great way to get your feet wet.
66% of presentations are on top 20 subjects. 115 categoreis in presentations and requests match the survey requests.
if we watched all the talks and presentations, 8 hours a day, it woud take 8 weeks to watch the all 550 prsentations, 357 speakers, 218 organizations. 90% of speakers present 1 or 2 times.
looking forward; want to give huge thanks to Jeff Bartig, Anna Valsami, and Valerie Wittkop for doing the work to move it forwrd; and thank you to PC for creating the new data analysis committee, and providing the sunlight and support to make this a reality. we have 1300 recorded and tagged; we expect 2100 items; easy part is done, now we're getting into the hard part. Jeff Bartig wrote scripts to download from youtube; there's a lot of stuff in agendas that have to be gone through one at a time. in midst of the project; would love to hear from you; what else would you like to see?
now, for polls--what topic would you like to see? and you can always put feedback in the web feedback form. Seems that Geoff Huston, IPv6, Automation, Cloud, Virtualization are hot topics!
are you planning to attend minnapolis nanog82 in person? most are undecided or will attend virtually.
most seem to lean to attending virtually.
likewise for toronto, nanog83
it looks like most people are waiting for vaccines to be available before they will come. So far, most have not yet taken the vaccine, but also most are planning to take the vaccine once they are able to.
Over to you, Michael;
Thank you to Edward, Steve and Elizabeth for their time.
Network Automation treasure hunt without a map is up next.
