The 4th Summit on Community Networks (CNs) in Africa will take place in Dodoma, Tanzania from 28 October to 2 November 2019. The Summit hopes to promote the creation and growth of CNs, increase collaboration between CN operators in the region, and provide an opportunity for them to engage with other stakeholders.
The main activities planned include:
The event is targeted at CN operators, policy makers, researchers, evangelists, sponsors, and related networks such as community radio.
Last year over 100 participants from 20 countries, 13 of them African, gathered in Wild Lubanzi, in one of the deepest rural areas of the Eastern Cape. The 3rd Summit on CNs in Africa was organized by the Internet Society,Zenzeleni Networks NPC, and APC from 2-7 September 2018. For the approximate 40 participants from surrounding communities, the Summit was their first international conference – or conference of any kind. It was exciting to see them absorb everything and feel proud of their neighbors in Mankosi, home of the Zenzeleni project, one of many community networks in Africa.
CNs offer local solutions to the connectivity Continue reading
Hello my friend,
In the previous blogpost, we started the exciting journey in the world of REST API, where you have learned how to collect the information using GET method. Today you will learn how to create the objects using POST method and remove them using DELETE.

This article is a continuation of the previous one. You should start with that to get the full picture.
You will learn how to use two requests
As you might remember, the interaction with the REST API is described by CRUD model, what stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete. In this concept, HTTP POST method represents Create and DELETE represents Delete operaions.
To put the context, Digital Ocean NetBox and Docker are the applications, which we will manage over the REST API.

It has been a long time coming: The day when AMD can put a processor up against any Xeon that Intel can deliver and absolutely compete on technology, price, predictability of availability, and consistency of roadmap looking ahead. …

Technology has been advancing by leaps and bounds. Currently, scientists and tech experts are designing artificial intelligence (AI)-programmed robots that look and act like humans. While they’re not a standard in our society quite yet, this social robot technology is real and has drastically advanced over the last few decades to the point where these humanistic look-alike robots called androids are springing up all over the place – even in Whitney Cummings’ latest Netflix standup special!
These robots are being developed to someday take over jobs in retail, hospitality, health care, child and elderly care, and even as policemen. But are these android robots as human-looking and acting as scientists would have you believe? Let’s take a closer look and see if they really are as humane as their real-life counterparts.
Superficial Robots that Resemble … Us
Scientists have built AI-driven robots that have two arms, two legs, a complete and realistic face with hair and facial expressions. Some of them can smile or frown, sit or stand, and do a number of human jobs.
From photographs and YouTube videos, many of these robots look like humans wearing a wig. However, a more close-up view leaves them resembling life-sized Continue reading

How can we get more girls and young women involved in the Internet?
Since 2017, the Internet Society’s Women SIG has developed global actions to promote gender equality and to develop digital skills and leadership among girls and young women.
With the support of several Chapters of the Internet Society, we’ve organized global face-to-face and virtual events on security and privacy issues focused on girls and women. But this work can’t be done alone, which is why we’ve promoted collaboration within organizations, government, civil society, companies, academia, and the technical community to organize events that have a positive impact on the Internet community. (We also collaborate with EQUALS Global Partnership.)
This year, to commemorate the International Day of Girls in ICT, promoted by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which aims to reduce the digital gender gap and to encourage and motivate girls to participate in tech careers, we organized a series of workshops focused on digital skills for girls. The main node was organized in conjunction with the Internet Society Chapter in Guatemala and the Spain Cultural Center in Guatemala.
We also had a global celebration in El Salvador, Mexico, Panama, Honduras, Hong Kong, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Armenia, Continue reading
We are excited to announce the general availability of Tigera Secure 2.5. With this release, security teams can now create and enforce security controls for Kubernetes using their existing firewall manager.
Containers and Kubernetes adoption are gaining momentum in enterprise organizations. Gartner estimates that 30% of organizations are running containerized applications today, and they expect that number to grow to 75% by 2022. That’s tremendous growth considering the size and complexity of enterprise IT organizations. It’s difficult to put exact metrics on the growth in Kubernetes adoption; however, KubeCon North America attendance is a good proxy. KubeCon NA registrations grew from 1,139 in 2016 to over 8,000 in 2018 and are expected to surpass 12,000 this December, and the distribution of Corporate Registrations has increased dramatically.
Despite this growth, Kubernetes is a tiny percentage of the overall estate the security team needs to manage; sometimes less than 1% of total workloads. Security teams are stretched thin and understaffed, so it’s no surprise that they don’t have time to learn the nuances of Kubernetes and rethink their security architecture, workflow, and tools for just a handful of applications. That leads to stalled deployments and considerable friction between the application, infrastructure, Continue reading
While rebuilding my v6 lab with a variety different host OS, I found that there is no single approach to address generation in IPv6 SLAAC networks.
I've recorded my findings below for future reference, but also as a good way to delve deeper into the murky world of IPv6 address generation and shine a light on just what is all this stuff in our 'ifconfig/ip add' commands.
The table below summarizes my observations
| OS | Address Generation | Temporary Address |
|--------|---|---|---|---|
| macOS 10.14.6 | Stable-privacy | Yes |
| Ubuntu 18.04 | Stable-privacy | Yes |
| Debian 10 | EUI-64👈👀 | Yes |
| Fedora 30 | Stable-privacy | No 👈👀|
| Windows 10 1903 | Randomized IID | Yes |
I'm running a basic LAN topology with a combination of hardware (Windows 10 and macOS), plus virtual machines for the Linux OS.
