The Swiss Network Operators Group (SwiNOG) is a Swiss counterpart to NANOG. Like NANOG, SwiNOG operates a mailing list{{cite web|title=SwiNOG Mailinglists|url=http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo|access-date=25 April 2015}} for operators of Swiss data networks, including ISPs.{{cite web|title=RIPE56 Regional Network Operations Group|pages=27–29|url=http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-56/presentations/Smith-Regional_Network_Operations_Groups.pdf|access-date=26 April 2015|last=Smith|first=Philip}}
Events
Twice a year the community gathers in Bern, the capitol of Switzerland for a social gathering containing technical presentations and of course direct interaction between the people in the community.{{cite web|title=SwiNOG Meetings Overview|url=http://www.swinog.ch/meetings/index.asp|access-date=25 April 2015}} Usually these talks are very technical and can contain various topics related to the work of network operators like out-of-band management.{{cite web|title=SwiNOG27: OOB|date=22 October 2014|url=https://tobrunet.ch/articles/swinog27-oob-mgmt/|access-date=26 April 2015}} Of course there are also more high-level presentations like the one about SDN and NFV.{{cite web|title=Anuta Networks|date=19 November 2014 |url=http://www.anutanetworks.com/swinog-27/|access-date=26 April 2015}} Usually some months before the event, someone from the SwiNOG-Core-Team sends out a CfP.
On a monthly basis, Steven Glogger is also organizing the SwiNOG Beer Events. In the past there where already more than 100 events, taken place in the city of Zürich, a social gathering where people talk about technology, their employer and sometimes also about customers but mainly to exchange information to each other in an offline mode.{{cite web|title=SwiNOG BE Homepage|url=http://www.swinog.be/|access-date=25 April 2015}}
