While I appreciate the efforts involved in bringing together people and employers (I too have been unemployed due to recent layoffs), I would caution us to distance this from NANOG as it does not fit the charter of NANOG.
Hmmm... Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Keeping the quality people on the net on the net and able to keep the net humming is definitely, in my opinion, a Network Issue requiring Coordination, under the current circumstances. As such, I think this is at least a gray area. Besides, NANOG is a community. NANOG BOFs cover things that may or may not be within the NANOG charter, but which impact the NANOG community. As such, I think it's entirely appropriate to a BOF. Owen (One of the lucky few that hasn't been RIF'd yet)
