Hi all,
We are running a series of events to try and answer all your UFB questions.
Details here:
http://www.orcon.net.nz/about/article/orcon_ufb_breakfast_series
We'd love to see some Geekzoners there.
Auckland only at the moment, but if they go well, we'll look to run them in other cities too.
Hope to see you there - come and say hello.
Thanks.

(oh, AND we'll shout you breakfast - not bad I reckon)

Hi all again,
We've had a good response - but there are still seats (and free breakfasts) available.
Come along - would be great to put a face to the names.
Cheers!

Hey Quentin, why not record them and post them to your website for those of us outside of the big smoke.

Great idea re: recording, we'll look into it.
We are really keen to repeat the Breakfasts around the country - need to make sure the Auckland events are packed first however ;)
Also, we'll be at the Innovation and Growth Conference in Hamilton next week:
http://ighamilton.co.nz
Even if you can't make it to any of the speaker sessions, I am sure you can pop in and have a chat about UFB with the two Orcon chaps that will be in the foyer.
Cheers all!

Wrong side of town for me, would take me all morning to get there :(

I know Auckland is a single city, but rush hour makes it a nightmare...... have the next one on the Shore ;)

Scrambled eggs and bacon on ciabatta I believe ;)
Gavin - it's really close to the bridge, by Vic Park, you'll be able to get back to the shore quick smart.

Its not the getting back that concerns me, its the getting there :) Be about a 50k trip for me in rush hour traffic ;)

Orcon have any purple helicopters yet that can pick me up ? ;)
