things changed, and they couldn't get together in person;

and jan 13 2021 to go over various items.
some of the items covered:
PC structure

need to document them better
subcommittees
are we optiimizing our effort?
some don't seem to do much.

we optimize time for training and tutorial

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

and support to make this a reality.

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;
