Colleagues, The first deadline for submissions to RIPE 85 has passed and thanks to all who submitted presentations for consideration by the RIPE Programme Committe (PC). As the Plenary programme has not been filled, the PC is continuing to seek content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, lightning talks and BoFs. RIPE85 is going to be a hybrid meeting so both in-person and virtual presentations would be accepted and encouraged. The deadline to submit a presentation proposal is Sunday, 11th September 2022. Proposals submitted after this date will only be considered if there are still time slots available.
