SUMMARY:SANOG 17
LOCATION:Colombo\, Sri Lanka
URL:http://www.sanog.org/
DESCRIPTION:SANOG was started to bring together \noperators for educational
  as well as co-\noperation. SANOG provides a regional forum \nto discuss op
 erational issues and \ntechnologies of interest to data operators in \nthe 
 South Asian Region.\n\nThe main objective is educational\, but at the \nsam
 e time gives vendors a chance to talk to \nengineers about newer technology
  and \nproducts on the sidelines. Engineers get to \ntalk to each other abo
 ut experiences\, benefit \nthe entire community. This non commercial \npeop
 le networking is in line with established \npractices like NANOG in North A
 merica\, RIPE \nMeetings in Europe and APRICOT in Asia.\n\nSANOG framework 
 incorporates workshops \nand tutorials in conjunction with the meeting. \nW
 hile tutorials will always be part of any \nSANOG meeting\, workshops are d
 one when \nthere is a demand and resources are \navailable. The regional ar
 ea covered by \nSANOG includes Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, \nBhutan\, India\
 , Maldives\, Nepal\, Pakistan and \nSri-Lanka. We also welcome participants
  from \nWest Asia to the gathering to build up \nrelationships. While issue
 s in this region will \nbe discussed prominently\, participants from \nthe 
 Internet policy and operational community \nall over the world are welcome.
 \n\nSANOG specially invites people from the \ncommunity to contribute throu
 gh being \ninstructors and sharing experience. Network \noperators in the r
 egion are in nascent stage of \ndevelopment\, and all such help will be \nv
 aluable. We also welcome participants from \nall regions who can benefit by
  SANOG's \neducational goals.\n\nSANOG has MoUs with Asia Pacific Internet 
 \nAssociation (APIA) and APNIC\, the Regional \nInternet Registry for Asia 
 Pacific region to \nexchange experiences\, help each other in \nachieving t
 he objectives\, and to support and \nenhance each others' works. SANOG will
