On Multi-tasking for the first COOK-In
March 14th, 2008 by Gordon Cook
For some months now – actually almost a year – this blog has become more peripheral as I tried something new. My private Architecture and Economics of IP Networks has become quite successful. Currently 207 members from 21 different nations. Some of the more active folks have said to me – do a conference so that we can meet face to face.
I had never done one of these, and left to my own devices could not have. But I have teamed up with Jerry Michalski, Kaliya Hamlin and Sara Wedeman and we have a small but significant event in Loma Linda California March 24-26. See the Conference Wiki for details.
We will have at least 30 people - pretty good considering the recruitment was from a global mail list of lest than 210.
We will have presentations from Peter Ecclesine Chair of the 802.11y working group and Sascha Meinrath. They will both arrive Sunday Evening and be available for the pre meeting workshop with James Hettrick Monday morning.
This has been a new experience for me…. exhilarating but I must say TIME consuming! Until you do it – you just can’t imagine the details that have to be chased down. Spare cycles that could have gone to the blog have gone to the Cook–in. I have the impression that younger folk can switch multi tasking focus at lightspeed.
Regrettably I am just a bit slower. I leave for VON San Jose on Tuesday the 18, go to Loma Linda on the 20th and arrive back home on the 27.
If anyone reading this would like to attend contact me directly and I will tell you how.
