The weekend is quiet and I know that many of the people on this list still desire a gmail invite/account. So, here's a list of 30 invites. First come, first serve. Please use only one invite and save the rest for others.
Enjoy.

'Quiet' isn't a bad thing. In an operations context it is a GOOD
thing. Please don't mistake volume for value.
Followup to /dev/null.
How can there POSSIBLY be anyone left on NANOG who wants a gmail
invite and hasn't gotten one?
If you're out there, oh mythical gmail desirer, take one of
these thirty. But for ghod's sake, the list doesn't need any
more invitations.
i still can't understand why anyone would want a gmail account, free or not.
not just "anyone on nanog". anyone, anywhere, ever. the reasons "why not"
are compelling enough. but there are no counterbalancing reasons "why to",
either compelling or otherwise.
i just don't get it. the approach shown in <http://www.vix.com/personalcolo/>
makes sense to me. the gmail / aol.com / yahoo.com / etc approach does not.
But..but..but..it's "special". You have to be invited. 
C
well, i think at this point everyone on nanog can consider themselves
"invited". now can we please stop this?
aarrgghh,
richard
Maybe those of you who created accounts using the links provided by todd
could post some invites.

Before anyone does such a moronic thing, please note that all people subscribed here, or reading the archives, now and for the future have access to the accounts from those links publicly posted. The privacy concerns noted by some are actually unique to gmail, and are real (for example, anyone accepting one of those is then known to the original poster). In addition, you will be joining the crowd of people that have demonstrated a genuine lack of regard for the charter of nanog, or its core audience.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! No more Gmail on NANOG!

I think you are confused.
So someone who invited you to Gmail now knows you have a Gmail account. BFD. This creates exactly _zero_ privacy concerns. (Someone knowing your Gmail account is not a privacy concern as you knew going in they would know your account.)
Your privacy concerns are either nonexistent, or they apply to any non-personally-run mail server. (And probably many personally run mail servers.)
I repeat, if you have issues with Gmail, block Gamil on your own mail server and quit bothering the rest of us.
