IODA Conference Coming up

Next week our department is going to be looking after the IT Services for the IODA conference; a conference about organizational development and the global ecology. Some of the breakout sessions really look quite interesting, but we'll be spending the better part of the first day ensuring all the systems are stable. We have a couple of students coming in tomorrow and sunday to make sure the client server side is ready to go. The did it as a project in their NTEN299 class and have had honoured their commitment to stick with it and see it through to the end, even though they both have full time jobs with Telus. I'm very impressed and proud of them for making doing this. We obviously chose the right guys to take on this project. Although they may have just chosen it on their own.

Our department and 5 other students are all heading up on monday and most of us are staying until saturday. Food and lodging is provided so it should be a blast. Although I should really be heads down prepping for my 218 class which starts for the first time this fall. We are going to be doing the MCSE course on securing Win2K3 server networks. Definitely a good thing for the students to take.
