For the folks who don't know me, I am one of the co-leaders of the Network Management CG. Since we have so much overlap between the groups, I try to cross-post when applicable.
We would like to remind everyone that, while we are now past the Early Bird Registration, registration is still open for the Annual Conference. Hotels may a be little tougher to book now, but I can guarantee the Conference is well worth attending. Last year in Indy, several of us met at a local bar the first night (ok, and subsequent nights) of the Conference. I know many of us have other commitments, but post-commitment informal networking is always a good time. If anyone has suggestions for local dive watering holes (preferably very local to the hotels), please chime in or Google Maps and I will be dropping a random pin again. Still informal, but closer to the conference, EDUCAUSE will once again have a Community Lounge (sponsored by Workday) in Meeting Room 205A/B on level two of the conference center. Last year, we held a couple gatherings in the Community Lounge with several parallel conversations. I'm not a huge Twitter person, but follow me (@BrianHelman) and I'll announce/retweet any gatherings that I'm made aware of (so let me know if you schedule a meetup). If you don't follow Lee on Twitter, he is far more prolific (@wirednot). Lastly, the CG Sessions. In my email to the NETMAN list, I neglected to remind everyone of the Wireless-LAN session. I will make sure I correct that next week. This year, the Wireless-LAN session is at a tough time -- Friday at 8a. At the moment, they have not listed who will be leading the discussion, but a couple of us have volunteered so there will be a session! That session will be in Meeting Room 210C, Level 2. I'd also encourage anyone from this list who will be at the conference to also attend the Network Management session on Thursday from 4:30-whenever in Meeting Room 202 A/B, also on Level 2. There is always a good deal of cross-over wireless/wired discussion. Mike Ferguson (Chapman University) and I will be facilitating that session. I cross-posted a version of this message to the NETMAN CG. If you're in both, my apologies for the redundancy. -Brian ____________________________________ Brian Helman, M.Ed | Director, ITS/Networking Services | *: 978.542.7272 Salem State University, 352 Lafayette St., Salem Massachusetts 01970 GPS: 42.502129, -70.894779 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
