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

Dear RIPE Atlas ambassadors, we are grateful for the work you do in helping build the community around this large platform for active measurements! We have some new resources that can make your work easier: * a short video explaining RIPE Atlas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3SW2vO8qW0 * we have annotated slides for the training courses, with the "presenter notes", that you can reuse if you wish to give a workshop, tutorial or presentation. Please let us know if you need them, then we can send you the slides. http://ripe.net/training And if you want to publish a story about your own experiences, we will be happy to have it on RIPE Labs!

RIPE Atlas BoF session at APRICOT 2017
by Lia Hestina 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Dear all, We are organising a BoF session to take place on 1 March 2017 (17:30-19:00) at the APRICOT 2017 conference in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The session will open with a short introduction of RIPE Atlas followed by four short presentations. We will close the session with open discussions aimed at sharing the experiences of users/hosts and also RIPE Atlas ambassador. We would like to invite you to take part and present your work/ideas/use cases for one of the 10 minute presentations (5 mins talk + 5 mins Q&A). Please send us your request before Tuesday 20 February. Here's a list of potential presentation topics, just to give you an idea of the kinds of talk we're looking for: What has gone well and what can be improved in the tool/platform? What do users want to see in the dashboard/landing page? Share experience of getting probes distributed in the region. How we can get help to improve RIPE Atlas Country Jedi? How can we attract new users? We really hope you'll come along to the session and take part in the discussion. Just to tempt you, we'll be bringing along some of the famous ‘Stroopwafel’ during the session. Finally, we'd really appreciate it if you could help us spread the word about the RIPE Atlas BoF session and invite your colleagues or any new friends you meet at Apricot :) See you at APRICOT!
