[AusNOG] Networking mentorship

[Shaun Deans :: Kadeo]

Steve.

I could see this is a great Idea!

It would be nice to provide a step between a CCNA lab and a network full of customers :P
It will also create a forum/thing to enable an open flow of knowledge between various people so we can all learn and teach a little more.

Hi,

I have been concerned for quite some time that there has not been the same resources available that I initially learnt on (i.e. Occaid).

Occaid is still running (we peer with them) but it is not possible for anyone apart from an established network operator to join now.

I would like to propose that like minded network professionals set up a similar system but expand it a bit further (and also limit it to Australian's, if demand in other countries can deal with that later) that we also mentor the people that join and also set up a loose curriculum, primarily to ensure that anyone who joins is an actual student looking to learn and not going to abuse the test network, as they progress they will gain better access.

I have helped a couple of people gain experience with BGP by peering with my home systems (and select others after observing they are operating correctly) via multi-hop or tunnels.

Regards,
Steve
