Re: Introduction to Networking session

Thanks for all the feedback!

I would love to spend the majority of the time on FRC-related networking issues. I think everyone needs to have a baseline of networking knowledge to understand what is going on. People shouldn't have to be network gurus to make their FRC gear work correctly.

During the day I masquerade as a Systems Engineer at Cisco (or, maybe I masquerade as a mentor at night!). I have plenty of resources to put together the networking slides. Ideas and issues for FRC-specific networking are welcome. Keep them coming!

I wonder if this should really be 2 sessions - one is Networking 101 and the other is FRC Networking... that way there would be plenty of time for questions/white boarding/whatever. I know there are other Cisco employees that are mentors for teams. I'm sure some would be interested in presenting something like this to their local teams.

Thanks again everyone!
