Hi Folks,
1. UK: UKNOF; http://www.uknof.org.uk/ I just attended the last meeting
Monday. Free and a good lunch included!
Please do not confuse UKNOF with the United Kingdom Nitric Oxide Forum.
Nitric Oxide keeps your arteries relaxed and your blood pressure under
control
2. Europe: RIPE; http://www.ripe.net/ The Big Meeting is in Berlin in early
May.
3. France: FRnOG; http://www.frnog.org/ Has several meetings each year. Has
interesting discussions in French on its mailing list. Moderator makes
Stalin look easy going.
4. UK: LINX; https://www.linx.net/ Has four meetings each year. Not
difficult to get invited if you are not a member.
5. LAMBDANET hosts several German ISP meetings;
http://www.lambdanet.net/index.php?p=92&l=1&sid=ee8bc11d266a13bffdcd59ceb45c
329d. Language is German.
Please do not confuse with the Intranet for the Brothers of Lambda Theta
Phi, Latin Fraternity Inc.
6. I am not aware of any Dutch per se ISP conferences although that market
is certainly quite vibrant. I am also disappointed to see the Canadians and
Irish have next to nothing despite Ireland being the European base of
operations for Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Yahoo. And Canada has over 30
million people. Where is the National Pride?
7. It is worthing mentioning that DEC-IX has started the practice of hosting
carrier meetings a la Telx. These are not conferences with lectures, but
networking events where each provider has a booth where they can push their
products and services. Tends to be more carrier than ISP, but as you know
the union of these two sets is not the null set. Quite a bit of overlap.
8. Both DEC-IX and AMS-IX have member meetings each year. Not clear how
difficult to get invited if you are not a member.
9. I believe there are some Northern England ISP meetings. Probably MANAP.
