Hi George,
All is well thanks and hope you are doing well too.
I acknowledge our joint efforts and sent a number of mails in October 2012 asking for your feedback without response. We are running
out of time as AfNOG needs adequate time for the application and selection process hence the need to move on.
Let’s move this discussion from the mailing lists.
Thanks
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Hope you are well.
While we appreciate the efforts to do this, I think it is important that the programme is shared with us before it is sent to the list. This would ensure we agree on the programme and the announcements before they are sent out. Given the fact that we launched the Africa Internet Summit this year, it would be great if the event is branded as such to avoid confusion. But more important is that this is shared with us in future before any communication is made.
Many thanks.
George

Internet-connected network with regional and international connectivity. The target audience includes senior and mid-level technical staff of
commercial Internet Service providers (ISPs), academic networks, government networks, or NGO networks.
This workshop builds on the experience of previous AfNOG workshops held annually from 2000 to 2012 in thirteen different African countries, and
also the Internet Society's INET workshops, held annually from 1993 to 2000 at eight locations around the world. The workshop's instructors are an
international team with many years of experience operating large networks and teaching about network operations.
The workshop is divided into Six parallel tracks as below:
· SS-E - Scalable Internet Services (in English), focused on the design and operation of email, web, and other Internet services, in ways
that can scale to handle large numbers of end users.
· SI-E - Scalable Network Infrastructure (in English), focused on the design and operation of networks using routers and switches,
in ways that can scale to handle large numbers of interconnected sites.
· NM - Network Monitoring & Management (English)
· AR - Advanced Routing Techniques (English)
· CT - CERT Training (English)
· NM-F - Suivi et Gestion de Reseau (en francais), similar to track NM-E, but given in French.
