Hello Skunkworks,
Over time, i have received inquiries from individuals interested in
attending the AFNOG events. However, due to logistical challenges and
being an annual event, there are limits to the number of participants
AfNOG can take.
This essentially creates competitive applications and most folks dont
make the cut either due to costs or pre-requisite qualifications.
In this respect, theres an ongoing initiative to localize the basic
AFNOG training - Unix administration course.
As such, am interested to establish how many of you would be interested in
a) participating and
b) Paying for the training
The training is held over a 5 day period and is hands-on see course
outline on http://ws.afnog.org/afnog2008/sae/detail.html
The fee would be on a cost-recovery basis and hence am trying to
establish what value folks would place on such a training. If we have
sponsors then i may be entirely free.
Certificates, Materials etc, would come from AfNOG and the only
interesting aspect is that its a purely local event with local trainers.
The main difference between AfNOG and other commercial trainings are that;
1) Its non-profit - meaning the objective is to build capacity
2) The training is focused on operational best practices, tips and
tricks - basically what formal training wont tell you.
If this is of interest to you please participate in this doodle poll to
assist us see the value for this.
Of course this would be a skunkworks event and based on the interest,
can schedule to hold such trainings/events around going forward as part
of improving the technical community.
Best regards,
Michuki.
