RIPE Atlas sponsorship update
by Lia Hestina 31 Mar '14

31 Mar '14

Dear RIPE Atlas sponsors, Thank you for your previous sponsorship of RIPE Atlas. With your support, we have extended the RIPE Atlas network across six continents, with more than 5,000 active probes worldwide! We’d like to let you know about some changes to our sponsorship model and invite you to consider supporting RIPE Atlas again in 2014. If you decide to financially support us again this year, you would now receive a larger number of probes for your financial contribution. As a RIPE Atlas sponsor, you can choose to sponsor existing probes in the network, or distribute the probes yourself, while earning credits for each probe you sponsor that can be used to perform your own measurements and gain valuable information about your own network(s). If you distribute your own probes, you can now include your own logo on them. For more information about becoming a RIPE Atlas sponsor, please email mcb(a)ripe.net. You may also want to consider hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor. Anchors are both enhanced RIPE Atlas probes with more measurement capacity, as well as regional measurement targets within the greater RIPE Atlas network. There are currently 46 active anchors deployed around the globe that are providing valuable information about the regional connectivity and reachability of the Internet. Learn more about anchors at https://atlas.ripe.net/about/anchors If you simply wish to distribute RIPE Atlas probes without financially supporting the project, we invite you to become a RIPE Atlas ambassador by helping us hand out probes at meetings or conferences, to your colleagues, or through other channels. You can learn more at https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/become-a-ripe-atlas-ambassador You can see all the current and past RIPE Atlas sponsors here: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-sponsors Thank you, Lia Hestina Measurements Community Building Team RIPE NCC

Dear RIPE Atlas community, you have been very active recently. I summerized it (ha! pun intended) in the RIPE Labs article, highlighting new community related features for RIPE Atlas anchor hosts, sponsors and "ambassadors". And the article has lots of pretty pictures! Share and enjoy! Warm regards, Vesna https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-midsummer-2013-community-upd…

Hi all, I am writing an update on the RIPE Atlas community, and I would like to add links to your articles too. I only now stumbled across the link that Tore sent me in December last year ;-) http://www.idg.no/computerworld/article262804.ece I remember that TREX & France-IX wanted to write about Atlas, too. If you did, can you please share the links? Thanks, Vesna

RIPE Atlas roadmap has a new home
by Vesna Manojlovic 22 Apr '13

22 Apr '13

Dear Atlas community, [apologies for duplicates] we determine the roadmap for RIPE Atlas together: based on RIPE NCC internal plans and ideas, and on your wishes and suggestions & needs. After publishing the incremental updates to the roadmap in the RIPE Labas articles and presentations, we now have a permanent location for the RIPE Atlas roadmap: http://roadmap.ripe.net/ripe-atlas/ It is part of the listing of a few RIPE NCC services and their plans. We publish the features in 4 categories: * recently delivered * in progress * planned & * requests We will keep updating this page, every time when one of the features move from "in progress" to "delivered", and so on. Next steps are * to add more details about all of those listed features, * to take on your comments, feedback, suggestions, and prioritize those that are only "requested", so that we can understand what exactly the feature means, and to move it to the "planned" category. * do consider automating the expression & collection of feedback More information: RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/introducing-ripe-ncc-roadmap Please do let us know what you think of this!

(fwd) REST API for creating measurements & One-Off / fast-track measurements
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Dear RIPE Atlas Anchors hosts, dear sponsors, we have released two new features for beta-testers, but since you guys are also power-users, you might be interested too. If you want to be added to testers list, please subscribe here: https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/atlas-testers (and then we still have to manually add you to VIP list, so you will only be able to do use these features from Monday on..) Once you are "enabled", you will see a new icon (see attached picture). Please let us know if you like these new features! Regards, Vesna -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [atlas-testers] REST API for creating measurements Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:47:28 +0100 From: Vesna Manojlovic <BECHA(a)ripe.net> To: atlas-testers(a)ripe.net Dear RIPE Atlas beta testers, We are pleased to announce a feature that many users have been asking for: an API for creating measurements! From now on, you can create measurements without being logged in to the web interface. This includes the one-off measurements that we announced two weeks ago. Here is the (hidden) link to the documentation: https://atlas.ripe.net/alpha/measurement-api/ Limitations: * This service is still in beta status, so although we've tested it to the best of our ability, it's very likely to still contain some bugs that we're hoping you'll help us find before we release it to everyone. We are planning to spend about four weeks on testing and bug fixes. * You can not use the API to stop measurements yet. Please use the UI for that for now, and we'll add the ability to stop measurements to the API next week. * Currently, about 1,800 probes are capable of one-off measurements. Unfortunately, the first generation probes are unable to support one-off measurements due to memory limitations. Please note: When setting up new measurements, please use a limited amount of probes (up to about 10), in order to limit the exposure if you encounter something unexpected. Please let us know what elements of the API you find most useful, what features you'd like to see, and, of course, any bugs that you come across. Thank you and happy measuring!

Repeated: More benefits for sponsoring RIPE Atlas]
by Vesna Manojlovic 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

Hi everyone, I want to repeat the "welcome" message sent to the mailing list, in a hope that the archiving problem has been fixed. Apologies for the duplicated content... Have a good weekend! Vesna -------- Original Message -------- Subject: More benefits for sponsoring RIPE Atlas Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:43:54 +0100 From: Vesna Manojlovic <BECHA(a)ripe.net> To: atlas-sponsors(a)ripe.net Dear colleagues, I made yet-another-mailing-list to be able to reach all the sponsors in an easier way -- and to give you guys yet another forum to discuss Atlas-related features. (if you don't like the idea, please let me know, and I will re-consider my communications approaches...) The good news for *us* is that there is more and more interest for sponsorship :) And I also have many good news for you: Functionality: ============== - we have enabled all the sponsors to use the membership-only feature "Test your IPv6": https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/ipv6_traces.html - the administration of your sponsored probes is now easier: we "earmark" all your probes before we ship them to you, so you can actually see all your probes, even if they are not plugged in yet. The status can be "never seen" (or "up" or "down"). - by making the transfer of credits easier, you can now redistribute huge amounts of credits you earn from sponsored probes to the people who are going to actually use them for the measurements. - if you are adopting the probes, now you can choose the best candidates from those that are "always up", on our new "Community" page: https://atlas.ripe.net/atlas/community Promotion: ========== All your logo's are now visible on two pages: atlas.ripe.net home page, and atlas.ripe.net/sponsors In the near future, we are going to publish "sponsor" information on the www.ripe.net/atlas instead: it will look prettier, but less geeky ;-) I did mention two new sponsors per month in the previous editions of the road-map-update on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-roadmap-october-2012-update https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-roadmap-september-2012-update Some of the new ideas on how we can promote your organization's sponsorship are: jointly print the flier that you will give to your "hosts", with your logo included, alongside with ours; or print a small sticker with your logo that can be added to the probe itself... If you like one of these ideas, or have some more, please let me know! Administrivia ============= Mailing list: https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/atlas-sponsors - if you prefer that some other colleague of yours is subscribed to this list, please let me know! While we were preparing for this "sponsors newsletter", we noticed several areas of improvement for our own administrative procedure. And we also have quite "old" sponsors, since 2010... so the procedures have changed with time. If you notice that you are missing anything from us, please let me know! I will be announcing each one of the new sponsors to this list... Regards, Vesna
