It's one of the things guys have discussed. The preference was to keep the EANOG name, but the main thing now is for us to revitalize the NOG chapter in Kenya like you said.

EANOG was born before any of the other NOGs, even SAFNOG - hence the name. But it's not managed to get off the ground. We all need to pool together and ensure we have
a decent local NOG
- community of engineers helping each other
- build towards community implemented projects (the way KIXP got built)
- increase technical capacity and knowledge of network operations

I suggest more guys volunteer & we make this happen. We had earlier already spoken with Fiona at TESPOK, and they're fully supportive of the initiative. We just need to start activity again.

And to start activity again, I have created (actually cloned from EANOG) KENOG mailing list. I have synced the members and I see there are people from TZ and UG, probably everywhere, but I think they wouldn't mind being there, as long as someone sends an introduction mail saying this is now a Kenyan-specific group. The non-Kenyans can be observers.

The list address is kenog@lists.my.co.ke, just like the others.
