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

[John Gitau (jgitau)]

I think the dates work for me. Its enough lead time to plan unless something really urgent comes up.

Sponsors – share sponsorship matrix and whatever collateral could help approach some. Hopefully we have some guys locally willing to sponsor an event in TZ. We however have kina ISOC here, maybe some of our partners...

Venue: Im ok with the hyatt.
Agenda: presentations, demos and training – exact details we can go over…

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.
