Dear colleagues, This year, the RIPE NCC is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, we created a page that we will use to look back at the past quarter century. https://www.ripe.net/about-us/ripe-ncc-25 We are publishing interesting articles that look back over our 25 years, incorporating stories from staff and community members who will give their own memories of the RIPE NCC. You can also check out what the RIPE NCC's webpage looked like 25 years ago! Throughout the year, we'll post more articles that give an insight into the development of the RIPE NCC. Please keep an eye out for these as we publish them. Best regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC
