Hello!

[version française disponible sur demande]

You are receiving this mail as you are a registered participant
for the upcoming UbuntuNet Connect NSRC NREN NOC Workshop, taking place
next week (October 28-30), in Antananarivo, Madagascar.

Please read this mail all the way to the end!

This is a 3 day, hands-on technical workshop on the deployment of 
Monitoring and Management tools for Network Operations.

Below you will find the URL with detailed information about the contents
of the workshop, including a schedule with the different sessions that
will be held during the week.

PREPARATION
-----------

A bit of homework :)

We would like to prepare one slide (just 1!) for the workshop, which
will be used for you to introduce yourself and your colleague (if you
are 2), and describe in a few sentences your Network Operations Center
(NOC):

- what tools do you use ?
- what services do you offer ?
- how many people are involved ?
- how do you deal with requests from users/technicians ?

Any topoology diagrams are useful, but not strictly required.
