Dear colleagues, This week (24-28. June), at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden ( & online), "ICT4S" conference took place: https://conf.researchr.org/home/ict4s-2024 Here are my favourite papers, a keynote & a zine: 1) Papers: * How to favour more cooperative deployments for Network Infrastructures, by Dr. Nathalie Labidurie Omnes et.al (Orange) https://conf.researchr.org/getImage/ict4s-2024/orig/ICT4S2024_paper_67.pdf * ICT Sufficiency is Necessary: Results from Simulating Four Possible Futures, Gabriel Andy Szalkowski et.al, Dept. of Inf. Sec. and Communication Tech. Norwegian University of Science and Technology Gjøvik https://conf.researchr.org/getImage/ict4s-2024/orig/ICT4S2024_paper_64.pdf * All the papers from "The True Cost of ICT: From Materiality to Techno-Solutionism" workshop https://ict4s24-tcict.github.io/#call-for-contributions 2) "The case for digital degrowth" : Keynote by Neil Selwyn, Monash University, Australia: https://conf.researchr.org/track/ict4s-2024/ict4s-2024-keynotes It is increasingly argued that we are approaching the point of ‘peak digital’, with the continued mass production and excessive consumption of digital technologies set to become a key driver of climate crisis, ecological breakdown and ongoing societal instability. In this talk, Neil Selwyn explores how degrowth thinking and alternate forms of ‘radically sustainable computing’ might support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies. Drawing on the latest thinking from across the social sciences, ecological economics, political ecology, environmental justice, and computer sciences, Neil argues that degrowth thinking offers a compelling basis from which to completely rethink our digital futures in these fast-changing times. 3) Zine "Liminal Excavations" (including my contribution, in personal capacity) : A zine that explores alternative visions, ideas and critiques on the topic of sustainability and ICT https://doi.org/10.21428/57a7f7a7.5d685a20 * * Upcoming Events: =========== * HotCarbon: Workshop on Sustainable Computer Systems Tue.

In Remembrance - Erik Bais
by Mirjam Kuehne 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

Dear all, We are deeply saddened by the passing of one of the pillars of the RIPE community, Erik Bais. Erik was a RIPE NCC member, the Address Policy Working Group Chair, and, above all, a friend to RIPE NCC staff and the RIPE community. Erik first got involved in the RIPE community in 2002, and he served as the Chair of the Address Policy Working Group from 2018 onwards. He contributed to and authored several important RIPE policies. Never afraid to voice his thoughts, Erik has been a powerful presence in the RIPE community, and he has provided considerable guidance to the RIPE NCC over the years. A regular at RIPE Meetings, Erik was incredibly generous with his time, mentoring many community members, both formally through RIPE programmes and via the friendships and relationships he built through his wisdom and humour. The mental health of people in the community was of particular concern to him, and we saw this clearly with the advocacy work he carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic. His participation helped shape the RIPE community as we know it today. We will miss his energy, his clarity of thought and above all his warm friendship. On behalf of the RIPE NCC and the RIPE Chair Team, we extend our condolences to Erik’s family and friends. Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair Hans Petter Holen Managing Director RIPE NCC
