Thanks for all the feedback on my GNS3Labs.com idea from the previous post. Here's what I've decided to do: GNS3Labs.com will not (immediately) be a "hosted" GNS3 solution since there are a TON of technical details I still need to work out to make this possible. Instead, it will become a repository of labs for all things Cisco. Here's what I plan on doing:

1. Build the site (probably a Joomla solution...once I figure out Joomla. I'm so pathetic at anything dealing with web development)...but I do know the HTML code to make things bold. :)

2. Create a "lab writing template." I would like all the labs on this site to have a uniform look-and-feel to them. The lab template will be distributed to anyone who wants it.

3. Create a sample lab (more on this at the end of this post).

4. Accept submissions from all of YOU (and the general GNS3 community) and post them to the site.

Now...to the title of this slide. I'm on my way in creating the first GNS3 Lab Topology and Guide. I've decided to make it a big CCNA-level lab. Network World magazine has invited me to be their "blogger of the month" for the month of May to promote my new CCNA Practice Questions book. I'll be posting my first CCNA practice lab both here and to the Network World CCNA blog I'll be running in the beginning of May.

I'm really excited to see this thing take off!
