ESNOG (Spanish Network Operators Group) formed in 2008 and is an open forum for the exchange of technical information, operational experiences, engineering knowledge and everything related to Internet infrastructure services. Its main goal is to improve experiences and information sharing among network engineers as well as increasing collaboration and coordination between networks in Spain.

Interactions happen mainly through the mailing list (gore [at] esnog [dot] net) and the twice-yearly ESNOG meetings hosted in various places around Spain. Although discussions are usually held in Spanish, contributions in other shared languages are welcome.

ESNOG is not incorporated and functions through the voluntary contributions of a small group of organisers.
