Well, what I would like to build is another good reason to go to the conference. BOFs aren't sufficient by themselves. Our networking team will often go to I2, and the NetGurus meeting is on the last day. It is a full day. And one day often isn't enough to squeeze in everything. The one hour BOFs are better than nothing, but really go too quickly. If we ended up getting rid of the tiny sessions and went for one bigger longer session, I think it would be beneficial. Probably too late now, but I still want to know who is interested. Educause tracks are very hit or miss, and I don't think I'd have any problem using a half day to meet with other colleagues.

There are scheduled CG meetings for Wireless-LAN and NETMAN. Granted they are only ~an hour. Over on the NETMAN side, we did manage to move our session to the end of the day Thursday, so conversations can continue beyond the scheduled time. I'd encourage you to attend. In the past few years there has been a Community Room at the Annual Conference. Last year, we (the NETMAN CG) scheduled a couple informal discussions. I'll be doing the same this year once I touch base with the other leaders from this CG, NETMAN and possibly Security. If you have specific topics you'd like to discuss, let me know. I also go through the hot topics from the previous year and put that list together for the NETMAN session. -Brian Helman From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Turner, Ryan H Sent: Monday, September 19, 2016 10:08 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Educause conference in Anaheim All: I don't know if I can pull this off on short notice, but I would love to see if we can somehow arrange a half day meeting at Anaheim to have a discussion on current networking topics. I am trying to transplant what they have at the Internet 2 Tech Exchange with Net Gurus to Educause. I don't even know if it is feasible. But before I start the work, can those of you attending the educause conference please send me your contact details, when you plan on being there, and if you would consider slicing out half a day for some discussion? I figure I need at least 15 solid 'yes' emails before I put much effort into anything. Thanks!
