Under the title of Middleware for collaborative Applications and Global vIrtual Communities, the MAGIC project started its two year race in May 1st, 2015, and with the participation of 19 NRENs and RENs from all over the world, and the powerfull commitment of their representatives, translated into many hours of work, after 10 months the project results certainly demonstrate that the only way of growing together is by collaborating. 

Seeking for the establishment of agreements for real time collaboration, MAGIC’s Work Package 4 achieved a new milestone with the incorporation of the Salvadorian NREN, RAICES to NRENum.net. The country code +503 is now officially delegated to RAICES.

Ending 2015, in December 14, LEARN got its country code, and the same happened to REUNA in January 7 (2016), signing the integration of Sri Lanka and Chile, respectively, to NRENum.net.

Within the framework of the tasks developed by its Work Package 4 -which is in charge of the establishment for agreements for real time collaboration- the MAGIC Project has launch an on-line course on NRENum.net and DNS Configuration. With its contents fully developed both in English and Spanish, the course is opened to all those who are interested in NRENum, and mainly targeted to those NRENs that want to offer their member institutions the possibility of registering their equipments of videoconference and of voice over Ip in this global directory.

“Thank you very much for Your cooperation and help and time!! Country code +52 is now officially delegated to CUDI, Mexico!”, said the email signed by Mészáros Mihály, from NIIFI (Hungary), member of the Work Package 4 of the MAGIC Project. A great email in fact, a great news: following Ecuador and El Salvador, Mexico is the third Latin American country that within MAGIC has got into NRENum.net.
