RIPE NCC Website Restructuring Project
by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, In 2014, we will be working on a project to restructure the RIPE NCC website to provide a better web experience for our users. This project comes in response to feedback received via the RIPE NCC Survey 2013 and various other feedback mechanisms. The specific action items identified in the survey were to: - Improve navigation, structure and usability - Improve the search functionality Work on the website will take place throughout 2014, and we will involve RIPE NCC members and the RIPE community in the project at various stages. We'll be asking for feedback via a survey on our website, conducting interviews with users and reporting back at all stages on developments. From next week, we will also deploy a web analytics tool on our website to help us better understand how it is being used. We will use Piwik for this purpose, free/open-source software that is installed on our own servers. The information gathered will be anonymised, it will not leave our network and the software will obey the "Do Not Track" option for those who would prefer not to have their activity on the website measured. The data will be used solely to help us improve the website. More information on Piwik is available at: http://piwik.org/ All the feedback on the website received in the RIPE NCC Survey 2013, including the full list of action areas for the RIPE NCC, is available at: https://www.ripe.net/lir-services/member-support/info/surveys/ripe-ncc-surv… If you have any questions or comments about the project, please let me know. Kind regards, Mihnea-Costin Grigore Web Services Team Leader RIPE NCC

Call for Presentations RIPE 68
by Filiz Yilmaz 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Dear colleagues, Please find the CFP for RIPE 68 below or at https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/cfp/. The deadline for submissions is 2 March 2014. Please also note that speakers do not receive any extra reduction or funding towards the meeting fee at the RIPE Meetings. Kind regards Filiz Yilmaz RIPE PC Chair http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-meetings/pc --------------------- 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. ---------------------
