by Bijal Sanghani 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi everyone, I’d like to invite you to our next Lets Talk, Let’s Act panel, the session will take place on Tuesday 30th March at 13:00 - 14:30 UTC where we will dive deeper into the topic of mentoring. During our last panel discussions the topic of mentoring came up a number of times and we thought we would explore further and hear from others who have some experiences to share. We’ll be hearing about the different types of mentoring, structured vs lightweight, what to expect as a mentor and how to get the most of mentoring from a mentee point of view. For more information and to register for the session, please see here - https://www.euro-ix.net/en/events/virtual-events/lets-talk-lets-act/lets-ta… Kind regards, Bijal Sanghani

RIPE 81 BoF on sustainable procurement
by Michael J. Oghia 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

Dear all, I'd like to cordially invite you and your colleagues to a Birds of a Feather (BoF) session I am organising as part of RIPE81 on Monday, 26 October, from 14:00-15:00 (UTC+1). The session draws on a post <https://labs.ripe.net/Members/michael_oghia/you-ve-got-the-power-sustainabl…> I authored for RIPE Labs over the summer, and aims to highlight how the RIPE community can contribute to a more sustainable Internet via decisions regarding buying hardware and sourcing services (procurement). It intends to gather interest and feedback from the community on the topic, and based on that discussion and the feedback received, potentially form a working group to write a document with more practical guidelines for operators (similar to ripe-554 <https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-554> for IPv6). I'm also happy to announce that Peter Pawlicki, the Director of Outreach and Education at Electronics Watch, will join as well. In case you or any of your colleagues manage your organisation's procurement process, please do forward this to them. More information about the session is available here <https://ripe81.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/bof/>. And don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Best, -Michael Oghia
