Dear colleagues, Thank you very much for helping us build RIPE Atlas into the largest, most diverse Internet measurement network possible by spreading the word and distributing probes. To help make it easier for our community to meet RIPE Atlas ambassadors, we’ve created a list of the different events where ambassadors will be available to answer questions and hand out probes: https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!tab-conferences Please let us know if there are any events you’ll be attending, and we will add you to the list. If you want us to list your contact details, please also tell us your Twitter, GitHub or LinkedIn information. You can send these details to mcb(a)ripe.net. We’re also happy to announce that the dashboard view of the probes you've already distributed has been improved. We hope this will help you in your tasks as a RIPE Atlas ambassador, such as following up with hosts who are a bit slow to connect their probes, or those who have maybe forgotten all about connecting them! Below you can find some more tips and resources to help you as a RIPE Atlas ambassador. We look forward to meeting you soon, either in person at an event (hopefully at RIPE 69!) or online. Kind regards, Lia, Michela, Vesna Measurements Community Building team RIPE NCC Tips: You can download and print a brochure that explains what RIPE Atlas is and how people can apply for a probe: https://www-static.ripe.net/static/rnd-ui/atlas/media/apply/RIPE_Atlas_flye… You can see where we need to distribute more probes: https://atlas.ripe.net/contrib/density.html You can see how many probes are in a certain AS Number by querying RIPEstat for the AS Number and looking at the "Activity” tab: https://stat.ripe.net You can get the latest updates about RIPE Atlas on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/atlas

New Features for RIPE Atlas Ambassadors

Dear RIPE Atlas ambassadors, Conferences are a great opportunity to hand out RIPE Atlas probes, and we’ve made it easier than ever for the RIPE Atlas community to come together at such events. On the RIPE Atlas conference page, you can now list any conferences you'll be attending where you’ll be handing out RIPE Atlas probes. If you don’t see a conference listed, let us know and we’ll add it for you. And whenever you’re at a conference, use the hashtag #RIPEAtlas to spread the word and let people know they can get a probe from you. https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!conferences We are very happy that there are now 8,000+ probes connected around the globe - and with your help, we know we can reach our goal of 10,000! The more you can help distribute probes to places where there is currently a shortage, the more beneficial the RIPE Atlas network will become for the entire Internet community: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/distribution-of-ripe-atlas-probes Other RIPE Atlas News: You may be interested to know that we’re working closely with other RIRs, including APNIC, AFRINIC and LACNIC, to deploy RIPE Atlas probes and anchors in those regions where we need them most. You can read more about this cooperation here: AFRINIC: http://afrinic.net/en/initiatives/afrinicripe-atlas APNIC: http://blog.apnic.net/2015/03/10/apnic-supporting-deployment-of-internet-me… LACNIC (in three languages): http://www.lacnic.net/en/web/lacnic/ripe-atlas And in March, we held the first-ever RIPE Atlas hackathon, which was a big success! Read all about the impressive results: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-results Your Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How do I ask for more probes? A: Send an email to mcb(a)ripe.net. Note that we will be checking that at least 50% of the probes assigned to you are already online before we send more. Q: How can I find out whether the probes I distributed are online? A: As an ambassador, when logged in to the RIPE Atlas website, you can see the status of the probes you’ve handed out. When they are connected and registered, their status will be listed as “hosted”: https://atlas.ripe.net/ambassadors/probes/ Thank you again for helping us build the world’s largest Internet measurement network, and happy distributing! Best regards, Michela (On behalf of the RIPE Atlas Team)
