Cisco Live 2015 Schedule

Registration for Cisco Live 2015 NetVets opened today and will be open for all attendees in a week. The scheduler is located at https://www.ciscolive2015.com/connect/mySchedule.ww.

So without further ado, here is the current version of my schedule:

My CLUS2015 Schedule

I still need to trim a session or two to make room for the free certification test and social networking. Since so many of the sessions I’m interested in are in small rooms this year, I wanted to get a schedule set and then trim as needed rather than try to add sessions later.

If you’re still up in the air about a techtorial for Sunday, I’d highly recommend TECEWN-3002 – Advanced Enterprise WLAN Deployment. I took it last year and will be taking it again in the future. In general I try to mix up which sessions and techtorials I take to keep things fresh, so I’m signed up for the ISE 1.3 session this year.

Two other must attend sessions for wireless folks are BRKEWN-3010 – Improve enterprise WLAN spectrum quality with Cisco’s advanced RF capacities (RRM, CleanAir, ClientLink, etc) with Jim Florwick, and  BRKSPM-2013 – High Density WiFi for Stadiums and Large Public Venues with Joshua Suhr and Matt Swartz.

If you’re going to be going to Cisco Live for the first time, make sure to check out Scott McDermott’s great guide at http://www.mostlynetworks.com/guide-cisco-live/.

Update 1 (25 March 2015): At the recommendation of @mrncciew, I swapped in BRKCRS-3900 in place of BRKSEC-3697 for my Wednesday at 1pm slot.

First wifiluke.com post

I purchased wifiluke.com (as well as .net and .org) on a whim one morning because I wanted to test out Google Domains and all of my domains where stuck in transfer limbo. I’d been thinking about setting up a Wi-Fi related blog for a while, I just hadn’t ever been pushed over the edge to do so. Well, it looks like that was what I needed. Big thanks to Dave for the hosting and WordPress minding.

My name is Luke Jenkins and I am a Wi-Fi Engineer by trade. My day job is at a state university in Utah, but I do moonlight from time to time. Most of that has been doing conference & event Wi-Fi for various non-profits, cultural events, and corporate trade shows. I owe much of my Wi-Fi chops to the folks that I’ve worked these shows with, as well as the awesome Wi-Fi folks on twitter.

I might veer off course into the realm of not 100% Wi-Fi related topics, if I think them of interest to a decent number of Wi-Fi folks. Expect the occasional post about network security, electronics, ham radio, and such things. I’ll do my best to keep any posts about family or pets to a minimum.

Everything I say on this blog is my personal opinion, and not that of any employer, company, or organization. I’ll list any conflicts of interest on my About page if I become encumbered by any.
