Hi to everyone attending, or thinking of attending the MikroTik User Meeting in London, UK! If you haven’t already registered - do so now as available space is getting severely limited! http://mum.mikrotik.com/2016/UK/info/EN
I thought it might be a good idea if anyone attending discuss anything ‘London MUM 2016’ related in this thread?
Some of us are thinking of going out into the West End for a meal on the Sunday or Monday night? Everyone paying their own way, but any ideas of preferred day, restaurant location or numbers interested? Initial views have been for a steak house?
I think it’s great there is finally a MUM in the UK and I hate that we are going to miss it but our project schedule is just crazy right now. Will have to watch it on the live stream and then see you guys at MUM Europe in 2017.
Using RoMON and CHR with GNS3
A look at how Cloud Hosted Router used in conjunction with RoMON in GNS3 has made learning and building networks in virtualisation super simple.
Just checked the mum website to see I was on the agenda for 3pm now I’m 11:15am
Kind Regards,

Also, it might change on the day itself again as well! Always very important that all speakers keep an eye on the board immediately outside the conference room at a MUM which will list who is on when or keep in regular touch with MikroTik staff throughout the day. Talks can sometimes go on longer than expected and require start times for talks to be pushed back a quarter hour or so. Or they could be much shorter and require speakers to get ready earlier! Therefore it’s important to bear in mind that the exact presentation start times on the day itself can be “fluid”. Why do you think I’m on first?!
That also applies to the “End of MUM Raffle”. If all presentations have finished early, then the raffle starts early! Which in turn then also means the free beer starts earlier.
A-ha! free beer. Count me in!
Arrival Sunday lunch time. Sunday evening meet up sounds like a plan to me as I have to catch the train home at 7pm Monday.
Please take into account the upcoming IPv6 examination for trainers on Sunday afternoon or evening, an excellent opportunity any trainers should take. So Ron and any other trainers could be busy at that time. More info will be emailed to trainers shortly.
Too early to tell if anyone of the trainers will pass the test. Prepare well, this is not something a lot of people pass on the first attempt. (And this exam does not have a “second chance” option)
Chris - We use IPv6 every day. Have done for years. It’s actually quite easy once you get passed the initial scary “much bigger numbers than IPv4” stage However using IPv6 all the time does not guarantee you know what exactly MT will test us on!
We’ve seen the syllabus, we have training slides. Therefore we have “an idea” on what we will be tested on. But first we have to pass the exam with a higher mark than you students have to, so… let’s see what happens. Plus, I’m not going to create my own training material and “sell” any training courses until I’ve passed and again, unlike you guys we only get the one chance to pass this. (So, no pressure there then! ) Also, creating accurate and high quality training material, designing and testing the practical labs takes a long while so I would expect it to be spring/summer next year before we have anything to offer the general public. (If I pass!)
