ABOUT
AFNOG 

AfNOG (See ) [1] is a forum for cooperation and the exchange of
technical information between operators of Internet-connected networks
in Africa. AfNOG aims at building a community of engineers helping each

Internet as well as promote the discussion of issues relating to
implementation of new networks that require community cooperation.

AfNOG has since year 2000 organized their annual Event in a different
African country each year. 

_"While AfNOG fuels the rapid growth of the
Internet in Africa with trained technical capacity, our content has been
determined by the needs of the community. In so doing AfNOG's output
training capacity has multiplied_ _in the past decade and the community
flourished"_ 

AFNOG WORKSHOP ON NETWORK TECHNOLOGY 

The AfNOG Workshop
on Network Technology aims to offer advanced training to people who are
in the process of developing and enhancing an 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 2013 in Fourteen 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

operating large networks and teaching about network operations. 

The
workshop is divided into Eight parallel tracks: ( 5 English & 3 French
Tracks)

design and operation of email, web, and other Internet services, in ways
that can scale to handle large numbers of end users. 

v SS - F similar
to Track SS-E, but given in French. 

v 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.

are a central part of AFRINIC's activities and our objective is to build
competence within our region in IPv6 implementation and associated
technologies required to use our resources effectively and to increase
awareness within the service region on how Internet is governed and the
roles organisations have in this environment. AFRINIC organizes two
Public Policy meetings every year (see  

AFRINIC-20 PUBLIC POLICY

The AFRINIC-20 Public Policy meeting will be held in Djibouti
for three days from 4th - 6th June, 2014. AFRINIC Meetings are open to
everyone and provide an excellent opportunity to take part in Internet
policy discussions. These policies, which describe how Internet Number
Resources should be managed and distributed, are developed by the
community. The meeting will include tutorials, presentations, update on
the various working groups and the AFRINIC Public Policy Meeting. The
three day meeting will be preceded by a three -day IPv6 training and one
day training in Internet Number Resource Management. The meeting will
focus on the IPv6 protocol and its deployment, especially in Africa and
the issue of the exhaustion of the IPv4 pool of address space.

AFREN  

The
Africa Research and Education Networking (AfREN) will be holding a one
day meeting on 2 June 2014. 

AfREN is the annual forum on African
research and education networking. As one of the Af* organizations, the
AfREN forum is part of the annual Africa Internet Summit (AIS) and was
convened since 2007 by the Research and Education Networking Unit (RENU)
of the Association of African Universities in collaboration with AfNOG &
AFRINIC. 

The forum is a platform for discussions on issues of interest
to the research and education networking (REN) community such as
collaboration, advocacy and coordination of activities in Africa.
Sharing of experience and best practices as well as presentation of
innovative networking technologies are also regularly addressed at
AfREN. 

The sponsorship of campus network managers to attend the annual
AfNOG training workshops has also become an integral part of AfREN.

Since 2012, with the formation of regional RENs covering all the
countries of Africa, there is a traditional session on updates from the
UbuntuNet Alliance (Eastern and Southern Africa), WACREN (West and
Central Africa) and ASREN (Arab countries, including North Africa).

Typical AfREN participants include among others, campus and research
and education network practitioners, REN operators, telecom operators,
regulators, policy makers and international partners.
