[AusNOG] System Administrators Guild of Australia (SAGE-AU) NSW meeting

[Stephen Gillies]

Hi all


I thought some of you might be interested in the SAGE-AU meeting topic
this month, a presentation from Brocade on L4-7 Application delivery and
traffic management and is Tuesday Nov 16 in the Sydney CBD.

For those of you who don't know SAGE-AU you can find out more at

http://www.sage-au.org.au

State chapters meet once a month to discuss a topic or receive a
presentation from a vendor or Systems Integrator. Presentations are
generally 45-60 minutes long and in some cases are then promoted to our
annual conference (the next one is in the second half of next year).

Apologies to those not in Sydney or already receiving SAGE-AU emails.
