<p>FYI, σχετικά με την κουβέντα για το EPF.</p>
<p>Τα μέλη του GR-IX μπορούν να συμμετάσχουν δωρεάν (όμως εκτιμώ πως
οι εταιρίες από το κοινό του GRNOG που θα ενδιαφερόταν για ένα
τέτοιο event είναι ήδη μέλη του GR-IX).</p>
<p>Για να μην υπάρχει παρεξήγηση ως προς την στόχευση του forum, ο
σκοπός του είναι η διευκόλυνση συναντήσεων των peering managers
των διαφόρων δικτύων. Το event και είναι στημένο γύρω από αυτή την
ιδέα, με εργαλείο για να προγραμματίσεις συναντήσεις, και πολλά
μικρά τραπεζάκια για τις συναντήσεις αυτές, ώστε να μπορέσεις σε
λίγο χρόνο να συναντήσεις διαδοχικά την google, το facebook, την
microsoft, την cloudflare, την amazon, την akamai, το netflix και
όποιον άλλο θες να μιλήσεις για peerings. Ακόμα και για όσους δεν
έχουν δίκτυα εκτός Ελλάδας, είναι μια καλή ευκαιρία να εξηγήσουν
στους παραπάνω γιατί έχει νόημα να επεκτείνουν τα δίκτυά τους εδώ.<br>
</p>
<p>Χαιρετισμούς,<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">ΥΓ: Αν κάποιος ενδιαφέρεται αλλά
δεν είναι μέλος του GR-IX (πχ νέα μέλη που δεν έχουν ακόμα
συνδεθεί) ας επικοινωνήσει μαζί μου.<br>
