Call for Presentations
A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in their field.
RIPE 68 will take place from 12 – 16 May 2014 in Warsaw, Poland.
The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 68. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to:
• IPv6 deployment
• Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations
• Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses
• Data centre technologies
• Network and DNS operations
• Internet governance and regulatory practices
• Network and routing security
• Content delivery
• Internet peering and mobile data exchange
Submissions
RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a product demonstration.
The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at
https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/
Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator.
In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC also offers several time slots for “lightning talks”, which are selected immediately before or during the conference.
The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 2 March 2014, using the meeting submission system at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/guidelines/. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a space-available basis.
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system (https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the relevant session.
- Presenters should indicate how much time they will require.
See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/
- Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators.
- Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting.
If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.

Dear colleagues,
Are you interested in hosting the RIPE 71 Meeting, from 9-13 November 2015?
We are searching for dependable organisations to help us host the RIPE
71 Meeting outside of the Netherlands. The host helps with Internet
connectivity, venue scouting, administrative and on-site support, and
assists in finding local sponsors. In return, the host organisation
enjoys excellent visibility among the RIPE community and the prestige of
hosting a RIPE Meeting.
Interested? Please find more information at:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/ripe-71/call-for-hosts
You can send your proposal to: meeting(a)ripe.net.
We look forward to hearing from you,

Dear colleagues,
In 2014, the RIPE community celebrates its 25th anniversary. This is a
wonderful opportunity to celebrate the many successes RIPE has enjoyed
over the past quarter of a century. From the RIPE 1 Meeting in
Amsterdam, when 14 people came together with the aim of coordinating IP
networks in Europe, the RIPE community has grown to encompass a vast
number of people from all over the world who share an interest in the
development of the Internet.
Over the coming year, we will be asking the RIPE community to help us
tell the story of RIPE from its beginnings right through to the present
day. We will document the achievements and landmarks of RIPE, recognise
those people who have helped with its development and build a gallery of
RIPE-related images from the past 25 years.
This project aims to celebrate the whole 25 years of RIPE, so whether
you attended one of the early meetings in Amsterdam or have become
involved in last few years, we would like to get your input.
On the RIPE 68 site, we created a form where you can upload your RIPE
pictures, give your thoughts on important moments in RIPE's history or
share your favourite personal memories of RIPE :
https://ripe68.ripe.net/25years/
You can also contact us with your suggestions at <25years(a)ripe.net>.
We will commemorate the anniversary at RIPE 68 in Warsaw from 12-16 May
2014 and showcase the contributions from the community.
We hope to hear from you.
Kind regards,
Serge Radovcic
