Re: [swinog] SAVE THE DATE - 15.10.2015

Hi community, I double Jerome's, Nicolas and Fredy's congrats. Thank you very much for putting this great meeting together. And thank you very much for joining! Working on it. Goal should be to get a regular sponsoring set up from Brocade twice a year. This is again a generation and gender problem. IMHO us old buggers are having concerns presenting about an topic which has been shared already at Swinog-0xx back in 20xx bla bla bla... There are a lot really nice networking tools around the globe and I'm sure we don't know everything about networking at all. Regarding generation and gender: My outtake of yesterday's discussion: I'll contact Uni Bern (through Chris), HSLU, ZHAW and ETH ZH to somehow get the SwiNOG-website / sticker / summary / whatsoever to the IT students hoarding. I'm convinced that every IT student degreed has written a nice bachelor thesis with some very nice and interesting findings - which he or she is perfectly willing to share with the community. Vesna from RIPE NCC agreed to share their experiences with IT students with me - and I'll share back with the community. IMHO this would help to solve both of SwiNOG's upcoming problems: youth / next generation engineers and gender We, the community, need to be very careful with the topics and mix presented as vendors and sponsors (sorry to say!) are very much interested into getting their investments back. And this is good! One or two vendor (related) topics might be ok, but sharing experiences, as mentioned e.g. by Aarno, will give the community much more power and drive. Hey, we run the networks! Shall procurement take care of for how to get our playstations to us! Take care, we'll see around, Emanuel Tel. +41 79 440 83 90 PS: I'm not having children, so October 15th would work perfectly. Can we have a democratic vote? ;) just kidding... :P :P -----Original Message----- From: swinog-bounces(a)lists.swinog.ch [mailto:swinog-bounces@lists.swinog.ch] On Behalf Of Jerome.Tissieres(a)swisscom.com Sent: Donnerstag, 7.

About the next meeting, due to the difficulty in finding sponsors and also people motivated to make a presentation, perhaps should we ask ourselves if one meeting a year instead of two is not a better solution? I am not against two meetings a year, it's just a suggestion to open the discussion. Concerning the school holidays, Fredy is right, but if we take all Switzerland the autumn holidays start mid-Sept. (Bern for example) until 1st November (Valais,Tessin), so it's not easy to be fair for everyone. Public holidays schedules are here: http://www.edk.ch/dyn/11707.php Best Rgds, Jerome -----Original Message----- From: swinog-bounces(a)lists.swinog.ch [mailto:swinog-bounces@lists.swinog.ch] On Behalf Of Nicolas Desir Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 10:49 PM To: Fredy Kuenzler Cc: <swinog(a)lists.swinog.ch>ch>; Simon Ryf Subject: Re: [swinog] SAVE THE DATE - 15.10.2015 Big thanks too! Or, we could finally come with our families and let them have fun with the little train and the other games in the park ;) My wife and children wonder since years why I wake up so early and what the hell I could be doing in Bern all day.
