Dear colleagues, The RIPE 77 Meeting in Amsterdam came to a successful end last Friday. I'd like to thank all of you that took part in the meeting on site and remotely. It was the biggest RIPE Meeting ever with 800 attendees checked in from 64 countries (and 228 of those first-time attendees). According to the audience ratings, favourite presentations included Sara Dickinson's stellar (and slightly) scary look at the recent evolutions of end-device DNS resolution, an update on BGP policy by Job Snijders, and my presentation during the Opening Plenary (well, thanks very much for that!). We also heard a lot of great feedback about our various diversity initiatives at the RIPE Meetings, including on-site childcare and the Women in Tech (WiT) Lunch. We are working to make the WiT Lunch a more prominent part of the meeting for RIPE 78. Read the meeting report here: https://ripe77.ripe.net/programme/report/ Archives of all the meeting's presentations are online: https://ripe77.ripe.net/archives/ RIPE 78 will take place in Reykjavík from 20-24 May 2019: https://ripe78.ripe.net/ See you there! Best regards, Hans Petter Holen RIPE Chair
