Dear colleagues,
Want to win a Fatboy in the colour of your choice? We've just launched a
photo competition for the RIPE NCC Webinars where we offer you just that.
All you need to do is submit a photo of yourself "getting comfy" with a
mobile device to the RIPE NCC Facebook timeline:
www.facebook.com/ripencc
We'll then upload your photo to the "Get Comfy" photo album. Tell your
friends about your photo and get as many "likes" as you can.
The photo with the most "likes" by 15 May will win! The top four photos
will be made into postcards.
More information is available at:

Get snapping!
