Perhaps it's time to think about enhancements to the NANOG list...?

I've been passionate about keeping the work shop style of the early 
2000's going, but it's getting harder and harder to keep the teachers of 
then interested. And, fewer and fewer youth are looking to fill that space.

In some ways, delaying the devolvement of the industry into the 
automation GUI in my space has allowed a new batch of youth that can 
appreciate how stuff works to develop. How long one can keep that up for 
is an entirely different matter.

There will be some youth that know what to do after we are gone. I just 
wonder how many of them there will be by then to maintain momentum.

Mark.
