2012 Silicon Valley Network & Infrastructure Kick-off meeting *READ DESCRIPTION*

Folks,

Happy New Year.

I am planning our 2012 Kick-off meeting at NASA Ames Research Park in Silicon Valley. I thought we would have more of a logistical, technical and educational meet up and include discussion on focus, direction and topics for the coming year.

Many of our members either run or support very large data centers, thus I inviting interested parties to do a 20 minute presentation to share their experiences with their data center. I am planning on 20 minute focus chat and then three presentations. Feel free to reach out directly to me at geoff (dot) brown (at) m2mi (dot ) com for a presenting slot.

I am limiting the audience to 50 people. Members are limited to bring 1 guest. I need to know the name and affiliation of your guest.

Headhunters & Recruiters : I know the valley is very hot for employment, so reach out if you want to have a recruitment table.

We are confirmed for the 26th January at 6pm, the directions are :

Coming from Highway 101

Take the Moffett Field/NASA Parkway exit off 101 and go toward the Bay (East)

At the NASA front gate, show the guard your drivers license and tell them you are going to Building 555.

Go straight through the gate bearing to the right to the first stop sign which is McCord and turn right.

Take take the immediate the first right into the parking lot. The swimming pool will be straight ahead

The event is being held at the one story building on the left hand side of the parking lot (facing the pool) at the corner of McCord and Edquiba (Bld 555) that says NASA Space Portal.

There is no attendance charge for this meeting and some food will be provided.

Thanks and all the best,

Geoff.
