Dear colleagues, We are really happy to announce that on Thursday 18th November (During RIPE 61) between 5.45pm and 6.45pm, we shall host the first ever RIPE BoF session. This is an informal gathering, where you are invited to talk about any operational issues that you want to raise or that simply don't fit in anywhere else.. Its a time for people to get together share ideas in an open friendly manner. You can suggest topics about any area of operational practice. This is the perfect opportunity to fix your bugs, discover the best practice, and learn about new tools. Please tell us the topics you would like to discuss, the most popular will be selected. If you have any suggestions you can offer them here - http://ripe61.ripe.net/programme/bofs/ripe-bof/ The BoF is part of RIPE 61 and open to everyone registered for the meeting. A
