ICSE 2011 Networking Consultants

Keeping  800+ software engineers on-line in a relatively confined space is no easy feat.  We all have horror stories of internet service at computer science conferences.  ICSE 2011 Internet Chair, Justin Erenkrantz, was determined that ICSE 2011 would not be one of them.

The key to the solution was hiring the right people for the job.  Enter our networking experts extraordinaire, Cliff Skolnick(left)  and Ron Lee(right).  They are continually monitoring to make sure that our 19+ event space access points are humming.

Cliff Skolnick has more than two decades of experience in Internet servers, security, and connectivity. He is a founding member of Apache Group/Apache Software Foundation.  Skolnick was a co-founder and chief information officer of Organic Online, where he designed the network and server architecture used by such high-profile clients as Volvo, Levi's, Sybase, MCI, Netscape, Saturn, and Microsoft. Before Organic, Cliff applied his networking and software skills at Sun Microsystems in the Internet engineering group.

Ron Lee has been doing technical marketing for over 20 years with VMware and Sun Microsystems.  Currently he is working as an independent consultant on internet sales and marketing.  He has done shows and events from as small as a few hundred to over 40K!  He spends lot of time Honolulu so be sure and ask him for restaurant recommendations (you’ll find some on our restaurant forum).

Come visit them at control central, South Pacific Board Room (2nd floor, next to Sea Pearl 1).  Report any networking problems to them or get help getting connected.
