Mailing Lists Migration from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3 Begins
by Timour Bakeev 02 Jul '24

02 Jul '24

Dear colleagues, In response to the community concerns regarding using the outdated Mailman 2 software for the RIPE mailing lists, RIPE NCC is starting the migration process to the Mailman 3 software suite. This upgrade will enhance the user interface and message archives for these lists. We expect to complete this work by 14 July 2024. Previously, we successfully updated our internal mailing lists to Mailman 3 and the ASO and NRO mailing lists, containerising them in the process. This latest migration extends those improvements to these external mailing lists as well. What will change? Mailman 2 and Mailman 3 are entirely different products, which brings some changes in the observed behaviour. - The location of the email archives. The new address of the archive will be: https://mailman.ripe.net/archives/list/{list-name}@ripe.net/ - The subscription address will be changed to {list-name}-join(a)ripe.net - To maintain historical links to the archives, we’re planning to turn this into a static website at: https://lists.ripe.net/ The mail delivery process for the existing subscribers will not change, so they will continue to receive emails from the lists as usual, with a potential one-time delay of up to four hours during the actual transition. The interaction with the server is also going to remain the same. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Kind regards, Timour Bakeev Senior System Engineer RIPE NCC

ICT for Sustainability: conference highlights & similar upcoming events
by Vesna Manojlovic ＠ RIPE.net 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

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.
