Dear colleagues, on Thursday 2 September, NLNOG is organising a hybrid event: in-person, for the first time since pandemic restrictions in early 2020, and online / with remote participation: https://nlnog.net/nlnog-day-2021/ Great line-up of speakers might interest the techies on this list -- and I will be giving a talk too: "Technical Communities Resilience During COVID-19 Pandemic". The presentation is based on my series of 10 articles, the most recent one published today: "Every Society Has the Internet they Deserve" : https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-every-society-h... Please join us at NLNOG Day, and do give me comments on the article(s) on RIPE Labs or on the list! Kind regards, Vesna Manojlovic -- Community Builder, RIPE NCC https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/
