I second that!

The psg.com list was merged with the handwritten list from the campus
networks workshop and recreated as afren at afnog.org. I'm working through
the AfREN sign-up sheet to find the remaining addresses from Abuja and
I'd be delighted to add the names from the Accra meeting if you could just
send them to me in a text file.

I have a couple of bad addresses (I can't read everyones handwriting!)
that I'll try to clean up, but the afren at afnog.org list is the right
place to post.

If anyone has friends or colleges who would be interested in this list, 
they can add themselves here:

If you want off this list (oh, no, please don't leave...) you can
un-subscribe using the same link.

Good choice for the domain name! May I suggest that AfNOG continue to host 
the list since it's already up and running and AfriNIC host the web site?

If you and Nii and Adiel should decide to move the list again, I can 
provide the current membership lists.

Wow. Impressive turn-out from the Nigerians. I hope you'll continue to 
mirror this content at the AAU site even after afrenforum.net goes live, 
it never hurts to have things available in several places.

On a side note, those of you who attended the AfNOG workshops can find the 
workshop materials (and tons of photos) here:

http://ws.afnog.org

I had a wonderful time in Abuja, and I'm looking forward to the 
discussions on the list. Thanks to the AfREN partners: AAU, AfNOG, and 
AfriNIC for providing this forum.
