[committee] Tech Talks

[Matt Didcoe]

[MTL] has a talk on fibre optics prepared I believe and I've been
pondering a talk on the NBN (more on the infrastructure side).

We're also pondering an interpretive dance performance* showing how
the University cabling system works (from AARNET to your computer in
the lab or at UCC).

* May or may not actually be interpretive dance
