[safnog-oc] SAFNOG/EANOG/tzNOG Announcement - Final Draft

[Mark Tinka]

Thanks, Abibu.

You're right, previously, SAFNOG has been 2 days, but we have been
working on increasing it to 3 because of additional requests for
workshops and parallel sessions. Also, we have EANOG this year, and I am
certain there will be parts of the agenda that are specific to their
delegates.

So my suggestion on a compromise would be this... can we have the Day 1
tutorial/workshop on the 26th which covers both 90-minute+ sessions for
the tutorial/workshop needs of SAFNOG, EANOG and tzNOG? That way, we get
to have the parallel tutorial session, and tzNOG can meld this into
their own workshop as a Day 1.

Mark.
