"Keep Ukraine Connected" initiative information...
by Jan Zorz - Go6 16 Mar '22

16 Mar '22

Draga SEE zajednica... Apology in advance for possible duplicates of this information and/or long email... At GNA (Global NOG Alliance) we started a new initiative (or a task force) called "Keep Ukraine Connected", aiming at mobilizing global technical community to support Ukrainian operators and community with donating and delivering hardware that they need to keep the light on and Internet connectivity available in the country. https://nogalliance.org/our-task-forces/keep-ukraine-connected/ This is a completely non political initiative that is just aimed to help keeping the information accessible to people in distress. We at GNA are in close contact with The Ukrainian Internet Association (UIA) and National Commission for the State Regulation of electronic communications, radiofrequency spectrum and the provision of postal services amd also with their association of business ISPs. They are coordinating the effort on their side with operators and people on the ground, providing us with the current needs. This is a partial list of what we are looking for right now: Specific requests: Wifi Soho (TP-Link, Netis, Mikrotik, etc) Wi-fi Backbone/Backhole (Mikrotik, Mimosa, Ubiquiti) Access switches (PoE preferred) (Any brand) Core switches (Any brand) Power generators (Any brand) General needs: Starlink satellite systems Wifi access points Wifi P2P systems Routers Switches Fiber repair tools (splicers, cleavers) Q/SFP modules Servers Walkie-Talkies It's probably redundant to stress out that all donated equipment needs to be in full working order, because people on the ground does not have time to figure out how to repair stuff at the moment. We are also accepting money donations at the web page mentioned above that will be used for some costs of logistics of transport and also to buy the most needed equipment that we'll not get through hardware donations from the community that we are collecting at warehouse in Germany. How will this work? We have access to a truck based in Germany, and volunteer drivers. We will coordinate filling the truck with the technology bought with your donations, along with the donations of network equipment we have received from the community, then drive that truck to the Ukraine border. Our chair, René Fichtmüller, has already made the journey once — albeit with a more regular cargo of donations. For all questions and/or suggestions, please send an email to ukraine(a)nogalliance.org. We appreciate anything you can do to help out. Thank you! Best, Jan Žorž on behalf of Global NOG alliance and our contacts in Ukraine

SEE10 meeting in Ljubljana - additional info.
by Jan Zorz - Go6 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Dear SEE community, Lately we received quite many questions regarding the requirement to enter Slovenia in terms of covid-19 measures, so I decided to share this information here, to the whole community. Let me copy/paste from our national information center portal: ---- There are no longer any restrictions for entry into Slovenia related to measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus. In Slovenia, RVT is no longer required to use most services. This applies to tourism and hospitality activities, fairs, cultural and sporting events, congress activities, visits to public spaces such as museums and galleries, ski resorts, public transport and other activities. The door to Slovenia is wide open for tourists and other visitors, but some security restrictions and rules related to living in Slovenia still apply (wearing masks, hand disinfection, distancing, RVT conditions in healthcare facilities, etc.). Before you set off, check the latest conditions for crossing borders, the current situation, and the current measures valid in Slovenia. ---- https://www.slovenia.info/en/plan-your-trip/all-you-need-to-know-for-a-heal… So, you are all welcome to come to Slovenia and be aware that you don't need any QR code or other proofs to enter - but please check on the above page if anything changed meantime. Free SEE10 meeting registration: https://meeting-registration.ripe.net/meeting-pub/registration?1&meetingId=… More about the meeting: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/regional-meetings/see/see-10 At the end of next week we'll publish a draft agenda of the meeting, some amazing talks were already accepted and can't wait to share the agenda with you! Stay safe and see you all in Ljubljana in April! Cheers, Jan Žorž SEE PC chair

Rob Blokzijl award 2022
by Vesna Manojlovic 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

Dear all, it would be wonderful to nominate someone from SEE region for this award -- Borka? Srbijanka? Mira? -- and I'm sure there are other great candidates! https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/25/call-for-nominations-2022/ Good luck with the applications! Vesna -------- Forwarded Message -------- A reminder that the nominations period for the Rob Blokzijl Award 2022 remains open until 18th March at 23:59 UTC. Please give some consideration to nominating someone in your own community and/or the wider industry in the RIPE region who, in your opinion, deserves to be recognised for their work to make the internet and/or internet community better. The Award Committee are particularly interested to receive nominations of individuals who, in addition to their own contributions have also supported and enabled others anywhere in the world. That may have been discreetly behind the scenes or as the fundamental part of a larger team effort but deserves recognition in your opinion. While you might think your choice may not be the overall winner, please do take the time to nominate them and share with the Award Committee what good you see they have done and what they have achieved either in their local community, the RIPE community or across the world. For the person nominated, it may be a wonderful boost and after all these months (years) of not seeing people at events, it's a nice gesture to let them know you believe they should be considered for this great award and you never know! We are looking forward to reading their stories. Full details here: https://rob-blokzijl-foundation.org/2021/11/25/call-for-nominations-2022/
