The APRICOT Week at a Glance ( Version 1.1 ) The Asia Pacific Internet Festival of 1999 Venue: SunTec City Convention Centre, downtown Singapore Dates: 28 February 1999 to 7 March 1999 URL: http://www.apng.org/apricot99 (in English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese) APRICOT'99 will consist of two days of tutorials (1-2 March 1999) and seminars followed by three days of conferences consisting of concurrent Technical, Business, Education, Policy and other tracks. (3-5 March 1999) In addition to other back-to-back meetings of Asia Pacific Internet organizations APNG, APNIC, APIA, APTLD, and their respective working groups, and other Internet conferences such as Internet World Asia @ Singapore 1999 and Singapore LINUX Conference 1999, APRICOT'99 will be hosting within its conference tracks: * ICANN Meeting, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the successor organization to IANA. (3 March 1999) * APPLe Policy Track * Women in IT BoF * APNG Education Track * APSIRC WG (Security CERTs and FIRSTs in Asia and Pacific) * Regional Internet eXchange Point (IXP) Update BOF * APIA Business Track In it's tradition of empowering the Internet community, APRICOT'99 will again offer unique tutorials that vital to an ISP's operations. These tutorials are presented by an instructor team that is the top %1 of the ISP Community. Through APRICOT, they are offering the ISP and Telco community knowledge, experience, and information that is not available in any other forum. Some of the material is unique - one time only at APRICOT'99. For example, "Tools Used at DIGEX and Verio to Manage Their Networks" by Randy Bush & Ed Kern, is unique in that the internal network techniques and tools of two US Tier 1 ISPs will be shared with any who come to the tutorial. New and existing ISPs/Telcos can learn from the first hand experience gained from two gurus and apply them to their networks. Here is a list of the APRICOT Tutorials: "ISP System Administration" by Barbara L. Dijker & Evi Nemeth "Sendmail Configuration and Operation" (Updated for Sendmail 8.9) by Eric Allman "Internet QoS and Traffic Management" by Geoff Huston "Internet Exchanges: The State of the Art" by Bill Manning "Designing Scaleable IP Networks" by Justin W.
