About AfNOG
AfNOG (See <http://www.afnog.org/>) is a forum for cooperation and
the exchange of technical information between operators of Internet-
connected networks in Africa. AfNOG has organized an event like this
one every year since 2000.
About AfriNIC
AfriNIC (See <http://www.afrinic.net/>) is a Regional Internet
Registry (RIR), responsible for Internet Number resources Management
in the Africa region. AfriNIC organizes two Public Policy meetings
every year (see < http://www.afrinic.net/meeting/>).
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 2009 in ten 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 four parallel tracks:
SA-E - Unix System Administration (in English), focused on using a
Unix-like operating system as a platform for delivery of Internet
services.
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.
SI-F - Infrastructure Reseaux IP (en francais), similar to track SI-
E, but given in French.

AfREN Meeting
The Africa Research and Education Networking community will be
holding a two-day meeting on 29 - 30 May 2010. The meeting will
discuss issues of interest to the NREN community such as
coordination on activites in the region, advocacy, bandwidth
consortia, regional RENs etc.
Additional information about AfREN 2010 will be provided shortly.
AfNOG Tutorials
AfNOG will offer 1 to 2 full-day(s) tutorials on advanced topics.
Tutorials take place in a classroom-style environment, and may
include a hands-on practical component. Tutorials are non-commercial
in nature, and most are technically oriented. They are intended to
offer advanced training on technology already deployed or soon to be
deployed on networking and related services provisioning for ISP
operations.
Additional information about AfNOG 2010 Tutorials will be availabe
here: <http://www.afnog.org/afnog2010/tutorial/>
11th AfNOG Meeting
The 11th AfNOG meeting will be held in Kigali, Rwanda on 01 June
2010. AfNOG conferences provide a forum for the coordination and
dissemination of technical information related to backbone/
enterprise networking technologies and operational practices. The
meetings are informal, with an emphasis on relevance to current and
future African backbone engineering practices. The AfNOG 2009
conference in Cairo, Egypt drew over 150 participants, mainly
consisting of network engineering staff from national service
providers, and members of the research and education community.
Additional information and the Conference schedule will be available
here: <http://www.afnog.org/afnog2010/conference/>
AfriNIC-12 Meeting
The AfriNIC-12 meeting will be held in Kigali, Rwanda for two days
from 02-03 June, 2010. 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 two day meeting will be preceeded by a two-day IPv6 training.
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. There will be an opportunity to discuss the
challenges which our region will be facing with IPv4 address space
exhaustion.
Further information will be available at <http://www.afrinic.net/meeting/
>.
ISOC - INET Africa Conference
The Internet Society will be organizing an INET Africa Conference on
4th June 2010 in conjunction with the AfriNIC 12 and AfNOG 11
meetings in Kigali, Rwanda. The conference will discuss the
situation of Internet Interconnection in Africa, the challenges as
well as the solutions, including Internet Exchange Points.
The meeting agenda will be available shortly.
