---------------------Call for PresentationsA RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers,network operators and other interested parties get together. Althoughthe meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meetand network with others in their field.RIPE 70 will take place from 11-15 May 2015 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals fromthe RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds ofa Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks atRIPE 70. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of networkengineering and operations, including but not limited to:- IPv6 deployment- Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations- Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses- Data centre technologies- Network and DNS operations- Internet governance and regulatory practices- Network and routing security- Content delivery- Internet peering and mobile data exchangeSubmissionsRIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentationsnon-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged.Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus onoperational experience, research results, or case studies. For example,presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus onthe underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration.The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats,including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs(Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the fulldescriptions of these formats athttps://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to includespeakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or aneutral facilitator.In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, theRIPE PC also offers several time slots for "lightning talks", which areselected immediately before or during the conference.The following general requirements apply:- Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 1 March 2015, using the meeting submission system at https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis.
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted
just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session.- Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at https://ripe70.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/.- Proposals for talks 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.- Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panellists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting.If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions,please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.
