Network redrawing contest

By stretch | Friday, April 25, 2008 at 9:26 a.m. UTC

In an effort to raise awareness about proper network diagramming techniques, and hopefully stem the flow of crappy network drawings being produced, I have started a network redrawing contest. The idea is simple: I have produced a diagram in dire need of renovation, and whoever does the best job redrawing the network pictured (as judged by the Networking Forum community) will be awarded a copy of Network Warrior by Gary Donahue.

Think your Visio-fu is superior to all challengers? Head over to the official announcement for rules and details to get started! The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, 29 April.
