Dear colleagues and members,

Joint conferences for AfriNIC-8, AfNOG-9 and INET Africa are being held
in Rabat, Morocco between 03-06 June 2008.

For the benefit of remote participants who wish to follow the
proceedings of the conferences, all sessions will be broadcast live and
an IM server will be available to post comments and/or queries.

Streams are delivered as 32Kb/s unicast-http-streamed mp3 audio, a
popular and relatively standard way to deliver internet radio. Most
platforms should have a client immediately available (windows media
player, quicktime, real, winamp, vlc, mplayer, zinf, etc.) capable of
playing back the stream.

The live audo stream will be available at the following URL (during
conference sessions):-
