From mike at linx.net Wed Aug 16 14:02:53 2006 From: mike at linx.net (Mike Hughes) Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 13:02:53 +0100 Subject: [eix-wg] RIPE 53 EIX-WG - Call for Presentations Message-ID: Hi folks, The RIPE 53 meeting will be held from the 2nd to the 6th October in Amsterdam. If you have an item for the EIX Working Group, please let me, or Christian or Fearghas know ASAP. "Regular" exchange point updates shall be less than 5 minutes in length and have minimal slideware. Maybe we should have Yellow (to tell you to wind up) and Red (to stop) cards, a bit like a lightning talk? That said, the sooner you can let me know if you'll have something to say the better. The last couple of meetings, I've been plagued by people turning up moments before the session demanding to speak - this makes it difficult to agenda plan. If your exchange has something more substantive to talk about, please send a brief abstract/description of what you plan to present, along with a time estimate, and we can allocate you agenda time accordingly. At the last couple of meetings, we have run over into lunch or the coffee break. We realise that a key element of RIPE meetings is the social mingling during the breaks and as such would prefer not to run over (...we also don't like finding all the profiteroles gone from the dessert buffet by the time we get there). Therefore, if it looks like we have more items than slot time (we currently have one 90 minute slot allocated), I can seek an additional slot from the RIPE NCC, otherwise have to trim the agenda to fit. As such, I am very tempted to put substantive items at the start of the session, with the "vanilla" updates at the end, and welcome feedback on this approach. Finally, I will be in the US the week before RIPE, so I'd like to try and get at least a draft by agenda in the bag by the end of August, and as close as possible to final by the 22nd September.

I guess one way to deal with this is to have these presentations given strictly in the order they are requested... Finally, while I'm on, UKNOF5 will be in London on the 26th October, short presentations from IXP operators with relevance to a UK ISP audience welcome - please mail me at if interested.

Very good idea, it has my support. -- Arien From Christian.Panigl at UniVie.ac.at Mon Aug 21 13:29:53 2006 From: Christian.Panigl at UniVie.ac.at (Christian Panigl, UniVie/ACOnet/VIX) Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2006 13:29:53 +0200 Subject: [eix-wg] RIPE 53 EIX-WG - Call for Presentations In-Reply-To: <44E32B36.4040403@smoti.org> References: <44E32B36.4040403@smoti.org> Message-ID: <9F7AE272-3316-43A0-914F-8E8CFF2AEC4F@UniVie.ac.at> Yes, my full support for both, Mike's & Keith's suggestions !
