Dear Noah Sematimba, I am grateful for the information (AfNOG 2010 ANNOUNCEMENT ). The application form seems to be in French and I couldn't understand some details.
Can they put it in English please. Thanks once again.

You get to rub shoulders with some of the very people who wrote the rfcs you quote so much and have them teach you in class things like BGP, ospf, exim with database backends, apache, dns etc. This time the workshop is just next door in Rwanda so to increase your eligibility for the funding if you're unable to get your company to pay for you or to raise the fees yourself, you can at least say that you're taking care of your own transport costs. Noah.

AfNOG has organized an event like this one every year since 2000.About AfriNICAfriNIC (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 TechnologyThe 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.Workshop application information is available here: http://www.afnog.org/afnog2010/workshop/online_application_en.html http://www.afnog.org/afnog2010/workshop/online_application_fr.html AfREN MeetingThe Africa Research and Education Networking community will be holding a two-day meeting on 29 - 30 May 2010.
