Chi-Nog

In 2015, Matt Griswold was fresh off launching United IX here in Chicago, his own gear, an investor behind him, and he spent that era arguing a commercial, privately owned exchange was the right way …

I’ve been listening to “you should care about IPv6” talks for two decades. I’ve given a few myself… so when Nick Buraglio took the stage at CHI-NOG 13, I knew the script.

Somehow I’ve never made it to CHI-NOG, the Chicago Network Operators Group’s annual gathering. That changes this year.
