Message-ID: <30fe4d30-da7c-c561-16df-93afd8579901@tinka.africa> Hello all. On behalf of the SAFNOG Management Committee, I'd like to extend a warm and heartfelt "Thank You!" for all your support in being a part of the SAFNOG-7 meeting in Cape Town, this past August. We were very pleased to not only have an interesting program, but to also reunite as a community after two long years of being forced apart, where we had all missed each other, and the social aspect of the work that we all do, in building both the African and the global Internet. I would like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom the event would not have been possible. I would like to thank all of our speakers, who provided the wonderful content that, I am sure, delivered some knowledge and engagement value to you all. I would like to thank the SAFNOG Management and Program Committees, who freely volunteer their time and energy, every year, to put together and produce our meeting. The goal remains to always create impact, and change the lives of our community in a meaningful way, one person at a time. SAFNOG aims to continue to achieve that through information. And most especially, I would like to thank you, the community, who came out to attend the meeting, and made it what it was. Without you, the event would have no purpose. You can access each presentation that was given at this year's meeting here: https://safnog.org/event/agenda.html You can also access the video recordings of each presentation (still being prepared and uploaded) here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRItGb8Y2HXIu_EUdp3Sag/videos We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Plans for 2023 will be announced in due course. For now, I and the SAFNOG Management Committee would like to wish you all a great end to the 2022 season as we enter its final quarter, health, happiness, and the best for all of your and your families. Mark. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Ce sont des r?seaux dirig?s par les citoyens qui sont d?ploy?s, exploit?s et maintenus par les communaut?s d'une mani?re qui s'aligne sur leurs besoins et priorit?s locales. Cependant, le d?ploiement de ces r?seaux num?riques est rare dans la partie francophone de l'Afrique malgr? le manque d'accessibilit?. Cette ?dition examinera comment l'utilisation des r?seaux communautaires pourrait contribuer ? r?duire les in?galit?s. Rejoignez les parties prenantes de la r?gion et au-del? et apprenez comment cr?er des r?seaux communautaires qui soient une solution au manque d'acc?s en Afrique francophone. Apprenez-en plus et inscrivez vous ici! -- Reminder! The Africa Community Network Virtual Summit (Africa CN Summit) Francophone Edition, 21 September 2022 Dear?All, This is a reminder to please join us on Wednesday 21 September 2022 at 12:00PM UTC for a virtual conversation on Using community networks to bridge the access gap in Francophone Africa. Community Networks (CNs) are a holistic approach to digital inclusion. They are citizen-driven networks that are deployed, operated, and maintained by communities in a way that aligns with their local needs and priorities. However, the deployment of CNs is scarce in the francophone part of Africa despite the lack of accessibility. This edition will look at how the use of CNs could contribute in reducing the equality gaps. Join stakeholders from the region and beyond and learn how we can create community networks as solutions to the lack of access in Francophone Africa.
