How to get people to actually plug in their probes?
by Philip Paeps 25 Apr '18

25 Apr '18

I had a conversation with a new probe host who was wondering how many of the probes I hand out "walk off" never to be seen again. Sadly, that's quite a lot of them in my case. I guess I need to find conferences with more reliable attendees? People promise to plug them in but then they get distracted. Or they move and the probes end up in boxes. How do other ambassadors twist their hosts' arms into actually plugging in probes? (And keeping them plugged in!) Philip -- Philip Paeps Senior Reality Engineer Ministry of Information

How to avoid double shipping?

Hello everyone I have come across a case multiple times where someone requests for RIPE Atlas probe and by the time I reply back to them (say 2-3 days), they mention that they have requested for probe directly from RIPE NCC as well. Once I even came across a case where I had basic communication with the host and I called them just at the time of shipping as they missed to share their ZIP code and the host mentioned that they already applied for it to RIPE and thus I did not send it to them but that brings of risks of sending two probes in a scenario where we all struggle to ensure that probe we have sent actually comes online and stays online. I think RIPE sending probes directly is likely ineffective as it would involve much higher cost as well as time which is what ambassadors save (except say in case of the Netherlands or parts of Europe). Did anyone else come across this issue? How do you ensure that probe you are sending is not the second probe to an already shipped probe by RIPE? Thanks. -- Anurag Bhatia anuragbhatia.com
