Dear African Peering Community,<br>
<br>
...i want to attest that these grant programs <br>
(ISOC Foundation) are real opportunities, that <br>
we as AfIX members should use as a mean to <br>
encourage other IXP operators to join our <br>
Association as new active members.<br>
<br>
Together with the datacenter operator STD <br>
(ST DIGITAL), the cmNOG had the opportunity <br>
to realised a project named DIXIUP; with the <br>
funds provided by SPI (Sustainable Peering <br>
Infrastructure) funding program.<br>
<br>
Please see what we shared afterwards here: <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="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">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</a><br>
<br>
Also, note that the deadlines for submitting a <br>
project on these grants programs have been <br>
extended to 10 April, 2025, at 21:00 UTC.<br>
