Dear RIPE Atlas anchor hosts,
I want to highlight some recent features that are specific to you,
in addition to the new measurements UI and tagging feature we just
announced:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-new-measurem…
First, in order to be able to share your anchor’s configuration details,
as well as the benefits you receive from hosting an anchor, you should
have a *group account* as the primary contact.
You can then share the credentials among your colleagues, and a personal
account can be added as a secondary contact. Both primary and secondary
contacts will receive notification emails from us. Please let us know if
you want to change your primary contact to a "group" account.
Also, we’re asking all anchor hosts to please add your NIC handle to
your anchor page, which you can find on the RIPE Atlas website under “My
Atlas” and then “Anchors”. This makes it easier for other anchor hosts
or members of the community to communicate with one another by finding
the appropriate technical or administrative contacts.
If you don't have a NIC handle, you can learn more about what it is and
how to create objects in the RIPE Database here:
http://www.ripe.net/lir-services/new-lir/first-steps-as-a-ripe-ncc-member#c…
We have also added more information to your anchor page
(https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/anchorID/), including your company’s logo
and a link to your company’s website, your NIC handle (if we have it),
hostname, and a shortcut to your anchoring measurements. There’s just
basic functionality at the moment, so the next step is to improve this
interface – let us know what you think!
We’re also making it possible to schedule more measurements towards
your own anchor and all other RIPE Atlas targets. Technical details on
request :)
Finally, if you’d like to help us spread the word about RIPE Atlas
anchors, you can download a printable brochure:

Thank you for participating in RIPE Atlas.
I look forward to meeting (some of) you at RIPE 69 in London next week!
