Hi all, I hope all is well! You've probably received messages that we've opened the call for applications for the Community Projects Fund. This is the fund through which the RIPE NCC distributes up to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation, resilience and sustainability of the Internet. It focuses on tools and services benefiting the technical community in our service region - Europe, the Middle East and parts of Central Asia. Please consider submitting an application (deadline 7 August): https://www.ripe.net/cpf If you are curious what projects won in the past, check this out: https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf/previous-funding-recipients If you want to submit a proposal but are not sure where to start or how to do it, join us for the Community Projects Fund Open House next Tuesday, 26 July at 12:00-13:30 CEST. It is open to anyone to attend. During the event you will hear a series of short presentations from previous recipients, along with members of the selection committee and a Q&A session. Register for the Open House at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-com... For any questions, email cpf@ripe.net.
