Dear colleagues, I have talked to many of you personally about our upcoming meeting in Leeds and happy to see many of you also have registered. If you are thinking about coming over, but haven’t registered, please do so. We still have quite a few places left, but would like to get a sense of how much coffee we need to order. As mentioned in our announcement, the goal of this meeting is to discuss the possible interactions between RIPE and the Internet of Things industry. What are the concerns in our community, for instance with regards to poorly maintained devices and attacks such as the Mirai botnet. What can the RIPE NCC and RIPE do in this space, which actions or outputs could help to make the IoT environment more safe? We will post an updated agenda soon, several people have approached us with ideas and examples. But there is still space for more, so if you have any ideas or examples that can help to shape the debate, please do contact us. Hope to see you all in Leeds, Marco Hogewoning -- External Relations - RIPE NCC PS: on a related note, we also need a plan for the 90 minute slot during RIPE75 :)
