Dear Colleagues Here's a few final pieces of information on UKNOF29 & ION Conference taking place on Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th September (in the coming week) at Assembly Buildings Conference Centre in Belfast...
UKNOF's first meeting in Northern Ireland is packed with lots content promising to keep you hooked - we have another full agenda, including connectivity talks focussed on the Northern Ireland region by BT and LINX, schools connectivity in Ireland, and wireless connectivity for streaming data from an offshore buoy. The sessions continue on Tuesday morning which focus on DNS issues in recent times and the challenges with IPv6. We then hand off to Internet Society for the ION Conference who briefly continue with the IPv6 theme before talking about DNSSEC and BGP. There will also be a panel to discuss how to make the Internet more resilient and secure. We'll be running the regular PGP signing session, and another opportunity to pick up RIPE Atlas probes. See: https://indico.uknof.org.uk/conferenceOtherViews.py?view=standard&confId=31 for the full agenda timetable and the slide decks will be available linked from this page.
