Dear colleagues, The next meeting of the European operators Forum (EOF) will take place on the 20th and 21st of September in Manchester/UK preceding RIPE-49. This is a call for presentations. As usual we are particularly looking for experience reports by Internet operators. General information about the EOF, the previous EOF meeting programme as well as detailed information for presenters can be found at http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-48/eof.html . Information about RIPE-49 will shortly be available at http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/index.html . Abstracts should be submitted to eof-coord@ripe.net not later than August 25th 2004. Please direct any queries to meeting@ripe.net. For the EOF coordination group Daniel Karrenberg --------------- The EOF The European Operators Forum (EOF) exists for the exchange of Internet operations experience. It has evolved from the "information exchange" part of the early RIPE meetings to provide an open forum outside of the work programme of the working groups and the RIPE plenary. The EOF aims to attract presentations relevant to network operators, practical "hands-on" reports, outlines of future developments and small tutorials. Product marketing presentations are not appropriate, user experience reports are. The EOF programme is assembled by an informal coordination group that is always looking for new people who are able to help by attracting interesting presentations and supporting presenters.
