by Axel Pawlik 18 Dec '14

18 Dec '14

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that the RIPE NCC's Activity Plan and Budget 2015 is now available. This definitive document has been approved by the RIPE NCC Executive Board with input from the RIPE community. It outlines the work we will undertake in the coming year and the associated costs for each activity. The document is available at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-630 Changes have been made since the draft Activity Plan was introduced in September, prior to the last RIPE NCC General Meeting. In order to make members aware of all updates, a new appendix has been added to the document, outlining the changes introduced. These changes include the following updates: - The usage statistics provided for each activity have been updated with more current information. - Minor editorial changes have been made to the text. - The income from new LIRs has increased as a result of increased membership growth. - The Latest Estimate (LE) column in the budget for the 2014 financial year has been updated with the current and, therefore, more accurate information. The Activity Plan and Budget 2015 was discussed at the RIPE NCC General Meeting (GM) on 5 November 2014. The minutes of that GM have been approved by the Executive Board and are now available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/ncc/gm/november-2014/minutes-ripe-ncc-gen… Kind regards, Axel Pawlik Managing Director RIPE NCC

[news] Launching the RIPE NCC Academy
by Rumy Kanis 11 Nov '14

11 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is pleased to announce the launch of the RIPE NCC Academy, a virtual learning environment that allows you to take courses and obtain certificates online: https://academy.ripe.net/ The first course available is the RIPE Database Expert Course. You can sign in to the RIPE NCC Academy with your RIPE NCC Access account (if you don’t already have one, you can easily create one through the link provided). The RIPE NCC Academy is available to everyone, free of charge. Before starting a course, you should know that: - You have 90 days to complete the course from the moment you start it. - We are working to automate the evaluation of all of the activities. In the meantime, some of them need to be checked manually, so you may have to wait for a trainer to review them. - If you’re very confident that you already know all you need to know about the RIPE Database, you can choose to complete the activities without studying the content. - You will earn a certificate when you achieve a score of 70% or better, including all the activities and the final test. - Your certificate will remain valid for three years. The first 100 users to earn a certificate will get a limited edition RIPE NCC Academy Graduate t-shirt. Don’t wait too long - graduate to the next level today! In the coming months, we’ll be making more courses available via the RIPE NCC Academy, so stay tuned. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at academy(a)ripe.net.
