Hey all,
Looking to find some more different ways of looking at the current events in Egypt, I thought the routing graphs that the RIPE REX tool produces could be instructive. I've collated the relevant graphs with some notes on what they show in a brief RIPE Labs article:

Dear colleagues,
For those of you who could not attend the first public RIPEstat demo
session earlier today, the report is now available on RIPE Labs:

You will also find links to the archived demo session.
All future RIPEstat related developments including summaries of the demo
sessions will be here:

Hey all,
As Mirjam announced a few days ago, RIPE NCC debuted their RIPEstat toolbox this morning:
<http://stat.ripe.net/>
RIPEstat is naturally in a very early state of development, and community feedback is going to be critical for figuring out how it matures, what new features get added, etc. So I thought I would start a thread where people could post any comments they have on the RIPEstat beta.
To start, here are my comments:
-- Overall, I think the tool is pretty well designed. The interface is very simple, and the results clearly presented. I like that different types of results are displayed in content-appropriate formats (table vs. pie-chart vs. bar-graph).
-- The purely text-based interface might be
-- I would appreciate it if the sources of metrics could be more clearly identified. For example, it's a little hard to interpret BGP data if you don't know where it's being collected. The "methodology" links on REX did a good job of explaining this sort of thing, so maybe they could be ported over to the new tool?
-- In a similar vein, I notice that the time span for things like the stability graphs is fixed. Would be nice to have it adjustable, like in REX.
-- It would be really cool if I could download the underlying data whenever there's a chart presented. Seems like that these little micro-data-sets could be cached along with the rest of the results.
What does everyone else think?
Best,

Dear colleagues,
The RIPE NCC is working on a toolbox, called RIPEstat, that will make it
easier to access the various datasets maintained by the RIPE NCC. This
toolbox will be developed in close cooperation with the community.
We have scheduled a series of public demo sessions. The first one will
take place next week Tuesday. Please find more details on RIPE Labs:

Dear colleagues,
We received some questions about the RIPE NCC's involvement in the World
IPv6 Day that is planned for 8 June 2011.
Please see some ideas and suggestions on RIPE Labs:

We are looking for feedback and suggestions, especially from subscribers
of this working mailing list.

Dear colleagues,
As announced during RIPE 61, we did a lottery drawing among the users
that had an RIPE Atlas probe up in December 2010. If you want to know
how we did it and (more importantly) if you won, you can find out on
RIPE Labs:

Good morning,
and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2011 to all of you!
In 2011 we plan to develop RIPE NCC information services
a little more interactively than before. We will solicit
feedback from you actively and we want you to try our
new services early, so we can develop what you like and
discard what noone uses.
To this end we will be holding public demo sessions once
a month at 1130-1200 Amsterdam and on these dates:
Tuesday 25th January
Tuesday 22nd February
Tuesday 22nd March
Tuesday 19th April
Tuesday 18th May
Tuesday 14th June
Tuesday 12th July
Tuesday 9th August
Tuesday 6th September
Tuesday 4th October
Tuesday 1st November (NB: During RIPE63)
Tuesday 29th November
Tuesday 27th December (tentative...)
Save those in your calendar. We will be using Webex
for these demos (ripencc.webex.com) and publish short
summaries on RIPE Labs for those who cannot attend.
We will also publish recordings of the demos with
these notes.
During the first demo I will give a short overview of
our plans for this year.
See you then
Daniel
