[AusNOG] disposal of equipment

[Joseph Goldman]

Daniel,

  It's the way you're going about it. You have to prove the point to the 
members of this list. This email could have easily been sent to the OP 
off-list, but you are making it a mission to push the buttons of this 
lists members. Just remember, this industry is smaller then most think 
and those who you upset now, may affect you later. To be clear - I agree 
with points on both sides of the argument, that yes the only good SAG is 
SAGE-AU, but my personal SysAdmin exposure is not great enough to 
warrant my membership, and it would be nice to have an active free 
alternative. But I also believe AusNOG is not the place.

  In any case, the initial question relates specifically to 
decommissioning of network equipment, which would be the responsibility 
of the Network Operator. It is role specific as, different to Sys Admins 
generally dealing with conventional Hard Drive space, we are dealing 
with flash/NAND and other lower profile storage, in file systems and 
directly attached to devices that do not offer similar interface 
capabilities as standard storage to run drive cleaners over them.
