RIPE Code of Conduct for SEE Community
by Mirjam Kuehne 16 Apr '21

16 Apr '21

Dear SEE community, The RIPE Code of Conduct Task Force[1] has been working hard over the past few months to develop an updated code of conduct for the RIPE community. This will apply to all RIPE spaces such as RIPE Meetings, mailing lists, interim WG sessions, and more. You can find the draft document here: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-documents/other-documents/ripe-… Leo Vegoda, Chair of the Task Force, has published an article on RIPE Labs that describes the current status of the document, highlights the remaining discussion points, and explains the next steps in the process. You can read this here: https://labs.ripe.net/author/leo_vegoda/code-of-conduct-task-force-spring-2… I would like to encourage the SEE community to review the RIPE Labs article and the draft RIPE Code of Conduct. I strongly believe that it is important to have a code of conduct in place for our events, and I am hoping you will agree to adopt this code of conduct for your own SEE meetings. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions or comments. Kind regards, Mirjam Kühne RIPE Chair [1] Code of Conduct Task Force: https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/tf/code-of-conduct-task-force

Free Vouchers Available for our IPv6 and RIPE Database Exams - Request by 1 March
by Gergana Petrova 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, Have you heard about the RIPE NCC Certified Professionals? It's our online exam certification programme. We currently offer two exam certifications - on the RIPE Database and on IPv6. The exams can be scheduled and taken online, under the supervision of a live, remote proctor at the candidate’s convenience. We have also begun working on an IPv6 security exam that will be launched later this year. The exam questions are aligned with the demands of the job market, so that our certifications test actual skills and knowledge required in the workplace. Once you take the exam, you will be able to see your results instantly, and if you are successful, you will be able to receive and display your digital badge. This digital badge is verifiable and can be shared via social media, or added to your digital CV. If this sounds interesting to you, try out the exams for yourself. If you are a member, you should have already received three voucher codes. If you cannot find them, email exams(a)ripe.net. Up until 1 March we also offer a limited number of vouchers to non-members. Write to us at exams(a)ripe.net to request free vouchers before 1 March. The issued vouchers will be valid until 31 March 2021. To assign the voucher email us your name, email, position and organisation/company.
