Dear colleagues, I hope you are keeping well. For the sixth year in a row, the RIPE NCC is committing to support activities and projects for 'the good of the Internet'. We are pleased to invite applications for funding from the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund. Through this initiative, the RIPE NCC distributes up to EUR 250,000 per year to support projects of value to the operation, resilience and sustainability of the Internet, with a focus on tools and services benefitting the technical community in Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. The call for applications is now open: https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf/call-for-applications <https://www.ripe.net/support/cpf/call-for-applications> On Tuesday, 26 July, from 10:00-11:30 UTC, we are organising an Open House with brief presentations from previous fund recipients along with members of the selection committee where you can ask your questions. The session is open to anyone, and if you're interested in applying for project funding or want to learn more, you can register at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-com... <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-community-projects-fund> If you have any questions, please reach out to me. Kind Regards, Alastair Strachan RIPE NCC
