James Greig -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Keith Mitchell Sent: 08 October 2012 11:35 To: [email protected] Subject: [uknof] UKNOF23 Final Information Once again we have managed to fill all available space for a UKNOF meeting in London ! Everyone who registered, including standbys, before the cut-off point at the end of last week when registrations closed will be able to attend, but I'm afraid we _cannot_ accommodate any further walk-ins on the day. Thank you everyone for your interest, apologies if you were disappointed, and we hope to see you on the webcast and next time. Talks this time around include a session on the Internet traffic impact of the Olympics and other summer events, talks on the potential operational impact of the Communications Data Bill & ITU ITRs, development of the Firebrick router, IPv6 transition and satellite operations wisdom, and updates on the DNS WEIRDS Whois replacement and other IETF standards developments. Things kick off this evening with the pre-meeting Curry Social, this time we're at Brick Lane, kindly sponsored by IX Reach. The venue is: http://cinnamonbricklane.co.uk/ 134 Brick Lane Aldgate, E1 6RL With a start time of 6pm. For those who manage to not ingest too much beer at the above event, we could do with a few more helpers to do venue setup this evening at 8pm, please contact <[email protected]> ASAP if you're able to assist. Google are kindly providing the meeting venue this time around, via their Campus London facility: http://www.campuslondon.com 4-5 Bonhill Street Islington EC2A 4BX http://maps.google.com/?q=EC2A+4BX Thank you also to our main sponsors Andrews & Arnold, and also flexOptix and Afilias, for covering our catering and other meeting costs for UKNOF23. As you may have already noticed, a big deal for us this time around is we are trialling the Indico open-source conference support platform. This fully-featured package can support more than just all we need for a UKNOF meeting, but this time we're mainly using it to make presentation upload and publishing much smoother. You can find the agenda for the meeting at: http://indico.uknof.org.uk/conferenceOtherViews.py?view=standard&confId=24 and the slide decks will be available tomorrow linked from this page. It's unlikely we'll avoid having a few teething problems with a new system like this, so please bear with us as we learn and knock the kinks out of it, and help us by reporting any issues you find to <[email protected]>. If it works well, we plan to use Indico to support registration and other features for UKNOF24. A BIG thank you to Nat Morris for all his hard work in getting this up and running, and to Bytemark for providing the VM server instance it runs on. As usual, and for those of you who are not able to come, we will be webcasting the event, at: http://uknof.bogons.net/uknof21.html with thanks to Bogons and Portfast. Remote participation is supported by the IRC channel: #[email protected] I'd also like to thank AQL for sponsoring the name badges, which will come with their unique SIM cards on request. At the end of the day's proceedings there will be social drinks, generously sponsored by LINX, at a nearby pub. Detail of the venue will be available at an invite to be circulated at the meeting, which you'll need to bring to be admitted. Look forward to seeing you all tonight and tomorrow ! Keith
