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

Most of the probe down because of USB Stick read-only
by Budiwijaya 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi, I just realised that most of my Ambassador Probes are offline probably caused by USB stick that turned into read-only mode. A couple of guys that I contacted and I give them instruction to reformat the USB stick said that the USBs are read only. I already told them to try to change the USB sticks, but looks like none are voluntarily (buy a new USB/use their USB stick) to change the USB sticks. Any idea how to revive the dead probe? Thank you Budiwijaya
