Introduction

This Workshop on Network Technology is held from 8 to 13 June 2003, in conjunction with the fourth meeting of the African Network Operators Group, AfNOG 2003, which takes place on 14 and 15 June 2003.

The venue for both the Workshop and the AfNOG meeting is the Hotel Africana in Kampala, Uganda.

The workshop aims to offer advanced training to operators of existing African Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who are participants in the process of developing and enhancing a national Internet with regional and international connectivity.

This workshop builds upon the experiences of the previous AfNOG workshops held in Cape Town (South Africa) in 2000, Accra (Ghana) in 2001, Lomé (Togo) in 2002, and the Internet Society's INET workshops held during 1993-2000 at eight locations around the world.

Goals

The goals of the Workshop are:

To train a critical mass of trainers and professionals in network infrastructure and services to be able to support an extension of Internet-related activities within the African countries represented.
To identify and share individual and institutional contacts as well as information sources that will assist the process of national development, using international Internet connections.
To build robust professional linkages between all participants in the programs so that the mentor-student and colleague-colleague relationships formed during the workshop and conferences will remain strong and of continuing usefulness well beyond the workshop and conference.
To increase the level of co-operation among existing projects and activities for establishing public data networks in Africa.
To train people and groups of people who will return to their country and region and who will teach others what they have learned at the workshop.

Workshop tracks / Thèmes des ateliers

An intensive program of instruction is planned for the workshop, composed of two instructional tracks in English, and one in French. Participants attend only one of the tracks, since the tracks run concurrently.
