[afnog] Introducing Southern Africa Network Operators Group - SAFNOG

[Mohamed Faye]

Hello JP,

This was exactly what i was discussing with a friend, for my opinion i don't think we should have another separate NOG rather than afnog. So i think we should all focus on trying to perfect Afnog before moving to another thing.

Sorry but this is my opinion only and view doesn't represent that of any other organisation.
Regards,
Mohamed Faye

I’ll put this as non-offensively as I can manage, but: why bother?

Why create a splinter community instead of just growing the afnog one further? I don’t see anything immediately listed on your site which couldn’t form up as a part or chapter of afnog.
