Hi everyone, We've just launched the RIPE Meeting Mentoring Programme, another great way to increase inclusion and bridge the gap between seasoned RIPE Meeting attendees and new joiners to the community. Being a mentor is an easy way to pay it forward and share your experience with new community members. We match mentors and mentees on a best-effort basis. All you need to do is fill in a few details about yourself on a secure webform on our website and then we will try and find a suitable mentee match. You can read more on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/agowland/pay-it-forward-with-ripe-meeting-ment... And you can sign yourself up as a mentor or mentee for RIPE 77 here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-meeting-mentors ------------------------------------------------------------------ RIPE Fellowship at RIPE 77 - Last Day to Apply! ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is your last opportunity to apply for the RIPE Fellowship for the upcoming RIPE Meeting (15-19 October, Amsterdam).
