What is APRICOT? | ||
|
Educational, non-profit, conference run by volunteers to develop and maintain Internet operational stability in Asia Pacific Region. The Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies (APRICOT) provides a forum for those key Internet builders in the region to learn from their peers and other leaders in the Internet community from around the world. The week-long summit consists of seminars, workshops, tutorials, conference sessions, birds-of-a-feather (BOFs), and other forums all with the goal of:- a) spreading and sharing the knowledge required for operational
stability and development of the Internet within the Asia Pacific region.
It is a non-profit event started by volunteers in 1996 and was financially underwritten by the regional IP address registry, APNIC, from 1996,1997,1998 -- with a *significant* contribution being made by David R. Conrad. APRICOT's success was largely due to the excellence of its no-nonsense technical program with its operational focus. However, it has grown from being the premier technical conference to being the main conference around which the Asia Pacific Internet Community congregates. No longer financially underwritten by APNIC, the future of the APRICOT conference is now being coordinated by the APRICOT Executive Committee. |
