RIPE 80 Call for Host
by Martina De Mas 23 Jul '18

23 Jul '18

Dear colleagues, Are you interested in hosting the RIPE 80 Meeting from 11-15 May 2020? We invite organisations within the RIPE NCC service region to help us host the RIPE 80 Meeting. The host helps with providing Internet connectivity, scouting venues for the RIPE Meeting itself as well as social events, administrative and on-site support, and assists in finding local sponsors. It is essential that the host can be depended upon for a smooth, high-quality meeting. In return, the host organisation enjoys excellent visibility among the RIPE community and the prestige of hosting a RIPE Meeting. Interested? You can find more information at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe-meetings/call-for-host You can send your proposal by *31 August 2018* to: meeting(a)ripe.net. I look forward to hearing from you, Martina de Mas Event Organiser RIPE NCC

Is it the RIPE List or the RIPE Chair Discuss List or is it some web page thingie? Will comments posted to ripe-chair-discuss(a)ripe.net (say) get relayed to that web page or not? And vice versa... Also, will it be mandatory to have a RIPE NCC Access account to post comments via that web form thing? If so, it seems very wrong to force a *RIPE NCC Access* account as a compulsory prerequisite for discussing RIPE business.

by Benno Overeinder 25 Jun '18

25 Jun '18

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 77 below or at: https://ripe77.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is *26 August 2018*. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings, see the "Speakers" paragraph in CFP for more information. Kind regards, Benno Overeinder RIPE PC Chair https://ripe77.ripe.net/ripe-pc/ -------------------->>><<<-------------------- Call for Presentations A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field. *RIPE 77 will take place from 15-19 October in Amsterdam, The Netherlands* The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 77. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats: https://ripe77.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than *26 August 2018*. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the slots still available in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) ---- Speakers ---- Presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee are required to cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc(a)ripe.net. Also note that, on an individual basis, participants can apply for a RIPE Fellowship or RACI to develop their professional or academic career. For more information, please visit: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/ripe-fellowship https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/raci ---- Submissions ---- Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists. If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be presenting at, please visit: https://ripe77.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/ RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and should not attempt a product demonstration. Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion - Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning) - Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday morning) - BoFs: approximately one hour (during evening sessions) - Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the presentation and any discussion The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe77.ripe.net/submit-topic/ - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe77.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the time slot allocated. - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panellists, presenters and moderators. ---- Diversity and Inclusion - On-Site Childcare and the RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct ---- Did you know that RIPE Meetings now have on-site childcare? You can reserve a spot for your child (age 6 months – 10 years) during the registration process for the meeting. Registrations for RIPE 77 will open mid-July. Childcare places are limited, so please be quick to reserve a spot for your child! Read about the experiences of our next generation of engineers at: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/agowland/ripe-meeting-diversity-efforts-on-si… Ensuring that RIPE Meeting values are upheld and that attendees experience a professional, respectful and safe meeting is a priority. Please do read the RIPE Meeting Code of Conduct: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-code-o… --- If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc(a)ripe.net.
