FIG

                  
First there was darkness...

                   
                                  ...and then there was FIG...

                                                                        ...and then there was EEXI


The year was 1993 and the month November.

       

Summer 1993 was quite hard for the few Athenean dialup Internet funs. The managment at Ariadne-t went nuts and the whole Internet in Greece was not evolving the way it should.

The time was perfect for real people to join forces and make something better. I sent the first (greeklish) massive letter to all Ariadnet subscribers along with some relative mailing lists. The message was: let's get together and try to do something better with the evolution of the Hellenic Internet.

The first meeting had only seven people but the second had arround fourty. The name of the group was Friends of Internet in Greece and they made history as the first non-profit group that was formed in Greece with goals to promote and protect a healthy Internet in Greece.
