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

[Watson Kamanga]

Hi Mark and everyone.
From an infrastructure point of view, the Hyatt, is very easy for me to set up as I have dealt with them before, and their building does not offer me challenges. The Serena is getting a bit long in the tooth and grey.

Regards

Watson .

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.
