Polish Network Operators Group - Call for Papers
by Sylwia Wojtas 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

Dear Colleagues, PLNOG <http://plnog.pl/en> is an event where Polish 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. PLNOG18 will take place on March 6-7th, 2017 in Warsaw, Poland. The PLNOG Programme Committee is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, panels, workshops and tutorials at PLNOG18. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats: http://2017.warszawa.plnog.pl/call-for-papers/. Proposals for plenary sessions, panels, workshops and tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 8 January 2017. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme. We are looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Network Security - 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 - Internet of Things (IoT) - Cloud PLNOG 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. If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email paulina[dot]tomaszewska[at]proidea[dot]org[dot]pl Kind regards, *Sylwia Wojtas* Head of Communication *tel:* 605 177 881 *e-mail: *sylwia.wojtas(a)proidea.org.pl *skype:* sylviawojtas

Dear RIPE members The Vietsch Foundation was created during 2014 in memory of Karel Vietsch, former Secretary General of the Trans-European Research and Education Networking Association. (TERENA). Each year the Vietsch Foundation will award a Medal of Honour to individuals who have contributed to the development of a service, technology or approach that will be of enduring value to the community. Since RARE and subsequently TERENA has had a close relationship with RIPE and some of you may remember Karel, I am writing on behalf of the Vietsch Foundation board of Trustees to invite you to consider nominating a recipient for the 2017 Vietsch Foundation Medal. More details including how to nominate someone can be found in the attached PDF document. -- secretary Sent with Airmail

Introducing the Rob Blokzijl Foundation
by Mirjam Kuehne 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Dear colleagues, Exactly one year ago, on 1 December 2015, our beloved and esteemed colleague Rob Blokzijl passed away. The RIPE NCC marked his passing with a tribute on RIPE Labs, which received many heartfelt expressions of condolence and respect from the community: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/mirjam/tribute-to-dr-robert-blokzij-1943-2015 To continue Rob’s legacy, we’re proud to announce the creation of the Rob Blokzijl Foundation. The Rob Blokzijl Foundation is part of the RIPE NCC’s Good of the Internet Initiative, which was outlined by RIPE NCC Executive Board Member Salam Yamout during the RIPE NCC Services Working Group at RIPE 73: https://ripe73.ripe.net/archives/video/1479/ The objective of the foundation is to recognise and reward individuals who: - made substantial and sustained technical and operational contributions to the development of the Internet in the RIPE NCC Service Region, or - supported or enabled others with the development of the Internet in the RIPE NCC Service Region. The foundation will strive to realise this objective at least every two years. A Board and an awards committee will soon be established to ensure the effective running of the foundation. The foundation’s initial reserve of 25,000 EUR will be donated by the RIPE NCC. We intend for the foundation to thereafter become self-sustaining. We hope to receive many donations from community members to support this good cause and to keep the memory of Rob Blokzijl alive. If you would like to contribute, please contact me at mir(a)ripe.net. More information, including clear instructions on the application process, will be available shortly on the Rob Blokzijl Foundation webpage: http://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE NCC
