I'm thinking about forming a Cisco Users Group (CUG) in
Auckland, and modelling it after other CUGs such as
http://www.cisco-users.org/.
I know I will have the support of Cisco Systems, and Cisco's
distributors. What I'm not sure about is how much interest there is out
there for such an idea among the Cisco populous.
I'm not aware of anything like this currently in NZ. Is anyone
else aware of such a usergroup?
I would like the CUG to be for engineering people, not sales
people. Based on other CUGs, common things that the CUG would do are:
* Technology presentations (e,g. Understanding IPSec, Queueing Options,
etc)
* Study groups, for people seeking Cisco Qualifications
* Solutions that people have found to problems that take more than 30s
to describe
* Discussion groups (perhaps IP in NZ, peering, APE, etc).
* Demos of new products (the kind where your allowed to touch the boxs).
I would like the meetings to be once a month, and I'll probably
ask a different distributor/Cisco/vendor/reseller to sponsor
coke/beer/pizza each time.
I can probably manage to do a lot of presentations myself to get
things going, but I don't profess to being an expert in every field, and
I'd hate to think I was preaching to people who knew more than myself
(which I would be if no one offered me any support).
So what do you think. Would I be wasting my time?

In the spirit of Networking and Beer (Yep it's in the AUP), I'd just
like to invite anyone who is in Wellington on Thursday along to Curry.
A few of the networking people around town have been doing Thursday
night curries for a few weeks now (ever since I flew in, maybe a bit
before) and it's become a bit of a thing.
If anyone wants to join us for Curry/Chat/Beer on Thursday, then get
yourself to ThursdayNightCurry.com, check out the rules etc and we'll
see you there.

Tim,
The rates now being advertised on the web site are not early bird
rates. Those ceased to be available once the first fifty registrations
were in. I believe work to be under way at present to fix the text on
the web site.

I'm trying to register a friend for the Uniforum next week and,
according to
the website, there are still 'earlybird' places left, but to register
for
three days cost's nearly $1,000.
I registered a few weeks back and it came to a third of that. Was that
at a
'really, really, really earlybird discount' ?

Yip, I'm in
We would definitely qualify as a "multi-vendor" customer, but I would be
keen to join in any case.

The problem I face is that I would need to invest a lot of time
initially to make it a success. Once it is running, other people would
probably step forward to assist.
Ideally SIGs (special interest groups) would form off the main
club.
I have a lot of experience with Cisco equipment, so I can
provide the skills required to make it work.
I can't make it happen if people bring along questions about 5
different vendors equipment.

Im definately interested in upskilling in this area so Id be in - but id
be
somewhat cautious if the people coordinating an event were so
pro-one-manufacturer that they wound up being anti-the-others, you end
up
with a rather narrow field of expertise...
(Shadows of MCSE? Or is that inappropriate? :P)
Im all for it, but id prefer a vendor-neutral concept. Of course theres
no
reason why Cisco cant feature in a big way - but lets not close the idea
off to other vendors. Otherwise anyone who wishes to retain a broader
view, needs to find multiple training/user group sources instead of just
one.

I made a posting to this group within the last 24 hours, which I
don't commonly do.
I am now constantly getting copies of the Klez virus emailed to
me. I think it is likely that someone on this list has the virus.
Could be a coincidence.

Personally I think we should model it on what the "CHUG" website has to
say...
"Group meetings are held on the last Wednesday of every other month. They
often consist of a one-hour technical presentation and a brief product
update, after which the group splits into several informal discussion
groups, allowing members to interact with their industry peers."

I'm definatly interested! Even though I'm in Hamilton - it definatly sounds
worth the trip every month/whatever frequency you/we decide.
Personally - I think it is best to keep it as a club - with very minimal/no
cost - although I realise that refreshments/venues can cost somewhat.
Also - I reakon it'd be nice to see some other vendors equipment - just for
some variety.
I'm also all for semi practical/workshop type situations - for doing stuff
like ipsec or multicast (just to expand one's knowlege).
Just the value of having a meet - where cisco people can talk cisco is just
huuge.
