Greetings The format is changing slightly - we are going to have two sessions one with IXP update presentations similar to the Euro-IX ones just focussing on growth, new technology, services etc aimed at ISPs primarily. To speed the updates we want to have a single laptop with everyone's presentation in advance so we can rattle through. Time limit will be circa 3 mins for previous presenters and 5 for new presentations. If you would like to present please send a note to myself & Mike Hughes <mike@linx.net> by August 27th. We will try to take late comers but there will only be the one session. The update should focus on background, growth and recent developments but should not include case studies in upgrades etc, they should be in the second session. Please send copies of your presentation to Mike and myself by September 1st so we can get them organised in time. The second session is where the " we did this and it was not fun " or "here are some interesting ideas", etc. items can go rather than being in the update presentation. The second session has a few preliminary items and more will be welcome. Again if possible we would like the presentations by September 1st so we can have a single laptop.
