Maria Farrell on the RIPE Labs Podcast - Break Ground. Plants Seeds. Rewild the Internet!
by Alun Davies 01 Jul '25

01 Jul '25

Dear colleagues, Following on from her brilliant talk at RIPE 90, we invited Maria Farrell to come record an episode of the RIPE Labs podcast with us. Maria sets out a sharp and thoroughly convincing case for why we need to regenerate the conditions of diversity and open competition that have made the Internet such fertile ground for technical innovation. Please have a listen, and if you get something out of the episode and Maria's message, pass it on! The episode is available on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/author/alun_davies/maria-farrell-break-ground-plant-s… Or you can jump right into the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o34GAyhf84M Best regards, Alun Davies RIPE Labs Editor RIPE NCC
