The redesigned www.ripe.net is now live
by Phillip Oldham 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

Dear colleagues, If you visit www.ripe.net today, you might notice some changes. For the past few months, we’ve been working on redesigning ripe.net, and we released the new version yesterday at approximately 18:00 UTC+1. Here are some of the major changes: • The design of the website has changed • The content management system has been changed from Plone to Wagtail • We migrated servers to make this switch • The website is now significantly more mobile and tablet friendly • We are using a new search engine on the website, so search results should be more relevant, and we will be investing time to make this experience even better • Accessibility has been improved, and we aim to align with WCAG 2.1 standards as soon as possible • Visitors should see some performance improvements, and we aim to continue adding improvements for usability and energy efficiency • The RIPE community is more prominent and easy to access from the top-level navigation under “community”, and we are applying a new community design to community-related pages: https://www.ripe.net/community/ The overall navigation of the website has not been significantly altered to ensure a smooth transition. We will be making more changes to the navigation to improve readability and discoverability. Many of you shared input in a survey and some of you joined us for user interviews at RIPE 86 and for conversations following my presentation at RIPE 87. Thank you for helping us through this process. While we have launched the newly redesigned website, with over 8,000 web pages migrated to the new platform, we know there will be fixes and tweaks needed in the weeks to come. If you notice any issues or have feedback, please let us know on the forum: https://forum.ripe.net/t/www-ripe-net-redesign-is-live/820 For anything urgent, please email us at webmaster(a)ripe.net Kind regards, Phillip Oldham (he/him) <poldham(a)ripe.net> Manager, Web Services RIPE NCC Stationsplein 11, 1012 AB Amsterdam

New Training Modules for (future) RIPE WG Chairs
by Mirjam Kuehne 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce that, together with staff of the RIPE NCC Learning & Development team (who did most of the work of course), we developed a series of training modules for RIPE Working Group Chairs and those of you who might consider volunteering for such a role in the future. There are currently four modules: 1. The RIPE Community and its Structure 2. The Role of the RIPE Working Group Chair 3. How is work done in RIPE Working Groups? 4. How do you keep a Working Group working? plus a short introduction module that explains the scope and introduces the other modules. All available modules can be found in the RIPE NCC Academy (you will need a RIPE NCC access account): https://academy.ripe.net/ripe-wg-chairs Once you're logged in and clicked on Get Started, you will see all modules. [*] We are working on additional modules that will focus on topics such as building consensus, the Code of Conduct and the Policy Development Process. If you have any comments or questions, please let me know. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair [*] The time estimate includes future modules and is generally on the high side.
