Dear colleagues, Thank you for taking part in the RIPE 78 Meeting. It was a great week in Reykjavik, with the meeting coming to a successful close last Friday. It was the second biggest RIPE Meeting with 742 attendees checked in, 200 of whom were first-time attendees. And, as always, we enjoyed a diverse meeting with people from 60 different countries making up our attendee list. This year, we are also celebrating 30 years of the RIPE community! Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us at the RIPE Dinner. Continue to share your memories by using #RIPEturns30. We received a lot of feedback. The meeting team is reviewing the completed forms, ensuring actions are taken where possible. We also heard great feedback about the on-site childcare, which was full, and a record number of people attended the Women in Tech session. Let’s keep the momentum going for RIPE 79.
