NINeS @nines-conference.org is the first conference specifically formulated to combat stale ideas, reviewer fatigue, and shallow program committees. By stimulating the community's collective creative pathways, NINeS will help restore energy, imagination, and genuine dialogue in networking research.

Cloudlab has been an enabler for me. Eternally grateful for its existence
My research group at the University of Utah runs CloudLab. I agree: CloudLab is the type of thing that needs to be in the world more! Thank you to the "Fork Around and Find Out" team for mentioning the work we do.
