[safnog-oc] Welcome to the SAFNOG-2018 OC

[Mark Tinka]

Hi all.

You are welcome to the SAFNOG-2018 OC (Organizing Committee) mailing list.

The list members are as below:

  * Ernest Wambari, EANOG
  * Jessica Malele, SAFNOG
  * John Gitau, EANOG
  * Mark Tinka, SAFNOG
  * Michelle Opiyo, EANOG
  * Molly Cheam, SAFNOG
  * Nishal Goburdhan, SAFNOG
  * Noah Maina, SAFNOG
  * Portia Rabonda, SAFNOG
  * Toni Kalombo, SAFNOG
  * Watson Kamanga, SAFNOG

As discussed with all of you, we have an in-principle agreement to
co-locate the SAFNOG-2018 and EANOG-2018 meetings together, in Dar Es
Salaam. EANOG is being represented by Ernest, John and Michelle, as
listed above.

A number of matters that require our immediate attention:

  * A localhost. We have unconfirmed indication from Workonline that
    they will host us in DAR, so just need to confirm that. However, any
    other suggestions are welcome.

  * We need to confirm the venue. The Hyatt has always been a decent
    choice, but the Serena can be used as well. Other options are
    welcome, of course, e.g., by the coast in Silversands, e.t.c.

  * The dates. I'd initially thought about between the 23rd - 26th (any
    3 days), but we also need to consider that AIS is starting their
    workshops on the 29th. The good thing about this week is that we'll
    have a number of northern hemisphere and other industry types in
    Tanzania to attend a wedding of one of our colleagues, Michele
    McCann, of Teraco. However, we need to weigh all considerations
    around this, and not just this very circumstance.

Ernest/John/Michelle, please let us know your thoughts, particularly around:

  * Host.
  * Venue.
  * Your numbers/delegates.
  * The dates.
  * Sponsors.
  * Agenda requirements.
  * e.t.c.

Once we have basic idea, I'll setup a Skype call for the 28th November,
2017.

Mark.
