The UKNOF crew (Cathy, Chris, Keith, Mike and me, Denesh) were joined by Portia Rabonda (Flexoptix) and Brandon Butterworth (Bogons), who helped with the rehearsals and running of the show in the background. We are grateful for Flexoptix' annual Patronage financial support of UKNOF and as co-host of this meeting. Fearghas McKay from Flexoptix shares a few thoughts: "As Flexoptix, we recognise the the value and contribution of community meetings and platforms created by organisations such as UKNOF. (While) The global pandemic has had a significant and material impact on businesses and seen a halt to physical meetings events globally, it has highlighted the the importance of the Internet for business continuity as well as connecting socially. Community fora like UKNOF make it possible to discuss the new and old operational issues networking engineers are facing in keeping the Internet running, which makes it more important to encourage and support these meetings. We encourage others to join us as Patrons to support the long term future of UKNOF." ===== [ ARCHIVES ] We have an archive of presentations and recordings for our meetings.
