Introducing the RIPE Forum
by Marco Schmidt 30 May '16

30 May '16

Dear colleagues, There’s a new way to participate on the RIPE Working Group mailing lists: the RIPE Forum, a web-based interface for reading and sending emails on RIPE community mailing lists. We developed the RIPE Forum in-house based on feedback we received from members of the RIPE community who wanted the option to interact and share information in a more modern way. It’s important to note that this new interface is completely optional – those who like using the established mailing list system can continue as they always have, and won’t notice any difference. Several weeks ago the RIPE Forum was deployed on the RIPE Atlas mailing list as a pilot. The test was a success, with no major issues detected, and very positive comments were received from users. We presented the results to the RIPE Working Group Chairs and, based on their feedback, decided to deploy the RIPE Forum to all RIPE Working Group mailing lists. We invite you to have a look yourself: https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum/ We created a special mailing list for testing purposes, so that any conversations about the platform itself can be contained there without disrupting the regular flow of discussions on the RIPE Working Group mailing lists. Feel free to send test messages and try out the RIPE Forum on this special list: https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum/ripe-forum-test If you’d like to learn more about how the RIPE Forum works or the background behind the project, please take a look at the presentation given last week during RIPE 72 and the RIPE Labs article that was published for the pilot phase: https://ripe72.ripe.net/archives/video/242/ https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_schmidt/introducing-the-ripe-forum The forum is still in “beta” phase – there might still be some bugs and we are continuously working to improve things, so please keep that in mind while exploring the forum. You can give your feedback by clicking on the “Report a bug” button on the forum, or leave a comment on the above RIPE Labs article. We hope you’ll enjoy the RIPE Forum, and we look forward to your feedback! Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Development Officer RIPE NCC Sent via RIPE Forum -- https://www.ripe.net/participate/mail/forum

RIPE NCC Survey 2016: Please Participate
by Serge Radovcic 27 May '16

27 May '16

Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Survey 2016 is now online. You can take the survey at: https://www.ripe.net/survey2016 We ask that you take this very important survey for the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community, and that you encourage your colleagues and contacts to participate. The survey is carried out by the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), which guarantees anonymity for participants and independent assessment of results. It will remain open until 30 June 2016. There are no limits on who can take the survey. RIPE NCC members as well as other interested parties globally are asked to participate. If many people in the same organisation would like to take the survey, they are welcome to do so. The survey conducted in 2013 by the OII provided us with 48 key findings that the RIPE NCC was able to act on, and we hope this survey will provide similarly useful feedback. This is your chance to let the RIPE NCC know exactly what you think and give your suggestions for how the organisation should operate. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Prize Draws ----------- To encourage participation, the RIPE NCC is offering participants the chance to win an iPad Air 2 if they complete the survey. The iPad draws will take place: - Wednesday, 1 June - Wednesday, 8 June - Wednesday, 15 June - Wednesday, 22 June - Friday, 1 July The earlier you fill out the survey, the more chances you will have to win a prize. If you have any questions about the survey, you can email us at <survey2016(a)ripe.net>. Best regards, Serge Radovcic Chief Communications Officer RIPE NCC
