NZNOG is the New Zealand Network Operators’ Group – an online community of network operators, predominantly in the Internet and Online Services area.

NZNOG has no king, president, or formal membership. It consists of the subscribers to the NZNOG mailing list. The group is intended to facilitate discussion among operators of networks in New Zealand on matters relevant to network operators.

Conference
Our annual conference provides both an opportunity to exchange technical information, and a high-value opportunity for NZ’s networking staff to ‘network’ amongst themselves. This is New Zealand’s only technical networking conference.

The 2012 conference will be held in Christchurch, Monday 23 – Friday 27 January 2012. Following recent success we are planning to hold one or two three day workshops Monday 23 January to Wednesday 25 January, with the conference tutorial day on Wednesday 25 January, and the main conference on Thursday 26 January and Friday 27 January. More information is avilable on the conference site at http://2012.nznog.org and registrations will be available soon.

Information on previous conferences can be found on the Conference page.

Mailing List
The NZNOG mailing list is NZNOG. NZNOG is the mailing list. Given this definition it isn’t surprising that many threads are circular (IPv6, anyone?). The NZNOG mailing list is intended for the discussion of technical issues relating to networking in New Zealand. More details on the list can be found on the Mailing List page.
