Dear African Peering Community,
...i want to attest that these grant programs
(ISOC Foundation) are real opportunities, that
we as AfIX members should use as a mean to
encourage other IXP operators to join our
Association as new active members.
Together with the datacenter operator STD
(ST DIGITAL), the cmNOG had the opportunity
to realised a project named DIXIUP; with the
funds provided by SPI (Sustainable Peering
Infrastructure) funding program.
Please see what we shared afterwards here:
https://www.cmnog.cm/dokuwiki/cmNOG:DIXIUP-Project:Events:Peering-Day:Douala-20240726:Article-to-Publish:Side_Story_About_cmNOG-and-ST-DIGITAL_DIXIUP_Project
Also, note that the deadlines for submitting a
project on these grants programs have been
extended to 10 April, 2025, at 21:00 UTC.
So! don't hesitate to submit your project idea.
...good wishes!
Shalom,
--sb.
