Ready for NANOG
This week and next are the culmination of my most high-profile committment yet: the equivalent of inviting 300 Martha Stewarts to stay at your house for a weekend (I used that analogy the last time, too). I finished up the basic network connection tonight (with a lot of help from UEN's Field Ops) to the hotel, and after a bunch of fine-tuning, got everything working. Big sigh of relief. I was hoping to not worry about NANOG over the Memorial Day weekend.
Pretty much everything is in place for NANOG now. There's some planning to finish up for the set-up on May 31, and coordination for the 18 or so volunteers from UofU and UEN who will staff NANOG. Next weekend will be very busy, but I've tried to get as many things as possible out of the way before then, so we don't have much left to the last minute.
NANOG has been a huge undertaking, but it's not nearly as intimidating as I had expected. Working on it a bit at a time since January, and with lots of help from UEN staff, it's been much more enjoyable than I had expected.
Though this is getting ahead of myself, I am looking forward to hosting NANOG again, possibly in February 2005 with the Internet2 Joint Techs.
