** CALL FOR (FURTHER) EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST AND/OR PARTICIPATION **

Volunteers are needed to present half day tutorials on the Tuesday
prior to this years Networkshop to be held in Brisbane 1-4 December.

I have a list of proposed tutorial topics, some of which I have 
speakers for and thus are likely to go ahead. Some tutorial topics I
don't have speakers for and would like to hear from people that
are prepared to cover these areas.

I will note that tutuorial presenters will receive a small ($300)
fee for their efforts, and that each half day tute costs $50.

I would also like to hear from people that either have a tutorial
to present on a topic I don't have listed OR have a desire to
see a particular topic addressed.

                 *** PLEASE RESPOND ASAP ***

We need a minimum of 15 people to start a tutorial, so I need to
know what will be offered and what people want to hear. Responses
should be back to me (P.Elford@AARNet.EDU.AU) as soon as possible.


TUTORIALS WITH SPEAKERS (likely starters)

* Security and the Internet - Barbara Fraser, CERT

* Router Configuration - cisco Australia

* Setting up an X.500 Directory - Andrew Waugh and the X.500 Working Group

* Getting Connected to AARNet - Peter Elford, AARNet

* An Introduction to TCP/IP - Simon Hackett, Internode

* Libraries and the Internet - TBA


TUTORIAL TOPICS WITHOUT SPEAKERS

* Dial-Up Electronic Mail/Sendmail Configuration

This could be two separate sessions. One on how sendmail works and what
you need to do to configure it the way you need/want, and another on options
for dial-up links to AARNet (MHSnet, UUCP, others ...). 

* Information Services

Archie, WAIS, Gopher, WWW, etc. What are they ? What are their differences ?
What resources do they consume ? What are the benefits ? How an organisation
might go about setting one or more of these beasties up.

* Network Management Survery

Someone who can say something about various net mgt platforms, pros and
cons.  Very short overview of SNMP perhaps. Many sites have looked at
lots of packages; should be lots of people that can do this. A group
presentation is not out of the question ...

* Electronic Mail: Multimedia and Privacy Enhancements

What does the future hold ? There are lots of MIME fanatics about ...

* X Windows

An overview of what it is and how it can be managed ...

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ????


The success of the tutorial depends upon *YOUR* participation!!!!
