The CENIC Community Technology Affinity Group (C2TAG) is an evolution of the CENIC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), which was created for members to provide technical guidance to CENIC, helping architect the original iteration of the network. As CENIC grew, the need for technical guidance from our members lessened, and the TAC evolved into a group of IT professionals that met quarterly to receive updates from CENIC engineers and discuss technology trends.
The C2TAG will continue this tradition and provide additional value for CENIC members.
The C2TAG is a forum for representatives from all CENIC member segments to share information and expertise about network technologies, creating a community of like-minded professionals who serve their colleagues as trusted advisors. It also allows members to engage CENIC staff and explore recently deployed network services and their applications among CENIC segments.
By joining the C2TAG, technology professionals are connected to a network of their peers in an informal setting. Through our mailing list, Slack, and various meetings, we share best practices, discuss problems and solutions, and gain valuable insights into industry trends.
Our next C2TAG Quarterly meeting will be hybrid, taking place at Stanford University for those who can attend in person and on Zoom for those who want to attend remotely. Thursday, January 30, 2025, 10:30am-12:00 pm PT. The agenda will include various topics, including CENIC network updates, a presentation by Stanford on their Network Monitoring Systems, a demo by CENIC on what happens during DDOS Mitigation, and a roundtable conversation of member success stories. Contact engagement@cenic.org for the zoom link or more information.
Inside the C2TAG you will find video and meeting notes from the member meetings. This page is restricted to members, you may access it using the password shared with you when you joined. If you are a member needing access or would like to join, please contact engagement@cenic.org.
