Hi all,

See the message below from Alastair from NCC. Does anyone know if the project can re-apply for the next round of funding?

Kind regards,

-Michael

Dear all,

After the announcement of this year’s Community Projects Fund recipients, some challenges emerged with the RIPE Atlas distributed network telescope project which would have prevented the project from achieving the goals outlined in the project plan.

After careful consideration, the Selection Committee made the difficult decision to withdraw funding for the project. While we understand this is really disappointing for the recipients, we sincerely hope they will continue initiatives that bring value to our community and the Internet.

The Selection Committee has now chosen another project to support from our pool of finalists: OpenPenny - An open-source tool to identify non-spoofed traffic. You can read about the project on the Community Projects Fund 2024 page:

Warm regards,
Alastair Strachan
Community Projects Fund Coordinator
