As requested at the RIPE meeting, I set up a new mailing list for the netnews issue: netnews-wg(a)ripe.net. To subscribe, send mail to majordomo(a)ripe.net which is an automatic robot; if you don't know how to use majordomo, just send 'help'. The archives can be found on ftp.ripe.net/ripe/archives/netnews-wg starting tomorrow. Geert Jan

Is NetNews coordination needed ?
by Willi Huber 26 Jan '96

26 Jan '96

Hi, SWITCH has recently got requests for News feeds from countries, where SWITCH has no ideal connectivity to. A full feed is today in the same order of magnitude than MBone traffic (100 .. 150 kbps steadily). But News is not coordinated well. Is the RIPE meeting a place, where such coordination could be done? Does it need a working group? Do News administrators normally visit RIPE meetings? At least a well working mailing list is needed. What do you think? SWITCH would be willing to invest some man power and travelling expenses to coordinate News better. Daniel, could we discuss this matter shortly in the plenary session next Tuesday? Regards, Willi Huber

RIPE23: Working Groups Schedule
by RIPE NCC Staff 24 Jan '96

24 Jan '96

Below follows the schedule of the working group meetings. An agenda for the plenary session (Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st) is not know yet at this moment. Remarks to this schedule: - As you can see the number of working groups that are meeting is low this time: we are missing routing and connectivity. - Also, we are not sure of IPv6. If something is said about IPv6, then it might just be in the plenary session. At this moment it is not sure how the last slot of Tuesday will be filled exactly. - The EOF starts at 10:00. Other remark: We are not sure yet about the time the plenary ends Wednesday 31st. It might be 15:30 but it also might just be that after lunch (starting 12:30) there will be nothing anymore... -------------------------------------- 23rd RIPE Meeting Preliminary Schedule for Working Groups Meetings Start: January 29, 10:00 End: January 30, 16:00 to 18:00 -------------------------------------- Room Z011 Room Z009 Room Z011 29 Jan 09:00 +------------+ 30 Jan refreshments available | DNS | 10:00 +------------+ 10:30 +------------+ | | break | EOF | 11:00 +------------+ | | | Database | +------------+ 12:30 +------------+ lunch lunch +------------+ 14:00 +------------+ | LOCAL IR | | Database | +------------+ 15:30 +------------+ break +------------+------------+ 16:00 +------------+ | LOCAL IR | MBONE | | IPv6? / plenary +------------+------------+ 18:00 +------------+

RIPE23: terminalroom
by RIPE NCC Staff 23 Jan '96

23 Jan '96

Dear meeting participants, As with previous RIPE-meetings, a terminal room will be available. Unfortunately, as the host of the meeting (NIKHEF) is doing some reconstruction in the building, the 'usual' terminal room will not be available. We found a workaround for this but it is likely that less terminals will be available this time. For this reason, I strongly suggest that people who need to read mail bring a laptop computer with them as the terminals may be busy. For the laptops, we will provide 10baseT taps and a few 10base2 taps (though 10baseT is preferred) and 220 volts. Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide localtalk connectivity. A DHCP server will be provided for those who can use it, and also we will make available a number of static IP assignments on-site for the duration of the meeting. For those who need to set packet filters, the terminal room will use addresses in the range 193.0.0.0/23 (i.e. 193.0.0.0 - 193.0.1.255) Special requirements should be sent to <ncc(a)ripe.net> well in advance. Geert Jan PS: I am evaluating the possibility to have a PGP key signing party during the RIPE-meeting. As I'm not very experienced with PGP, I'm looking for a volunteer to process the collected public keys and prepare the key ring. If you are willing to help with this, please tell <ncc(a)ripe.net>.
