RIPE 64 Call for Presentations

Wed Nov 23 12:03:21 UTC 2011

Fellow builders, operators, analyzers and ponderers of networks,

I suspect that the following Call for Presentations may be a useful
reminder for some of you to begin working on presentations for RIPE 64
next Spring.

-------------------------------

RIPE 64: Call for Presentations

RIPE 64 takes place on 16-20 April 2012 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the
RIPE community for the Plenary, BoF and tutorial sessions at RIPE 64.
The PC seeks presentations covering topics of network engineering and
operations, including but not limited to:

• IPv6 deployment
• Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations
• Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses
• Data centre technologies
• Network and DNS operations
• Internet governance and regulatory practices
• Network and routing security
* Content delivery
* Internet peering and mobile data exchange

Submissions
------------
Attendees of the RIPE meetings are quite sensitive to keeping
presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly
discouraged. Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful
talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case
studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial
solution should focus on the underlying technology and not attempt a
product demonstration. Presenters who are proposing a panel or BOF are
encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing)
companies and/or a neutral facilitator.  Presenters should indicate
how much time they will require (30 minutes is a common maximum
duration, although some talks can be longer).

Proposals for presentations must be submitted for full consideration
no later than
*3 February* using the online topic submission system at:
http://meetings.ripe.net/pc/
Presentations submitted after this date will be considered on a
space-available basis.

In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the
RIPE PC also offers several timeslots for “lightning talks” which are
selected immediately before or during the conference.  Lightning talks
are short (10 mins maximum) and often involve more timely topics.
Lightning talks will be announced shortly before the conference.

If you are aware of a talk that might be interesting to the community,
please provide us with the details and we will approach the potential
speaker.

If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions,
please email pc at ripe.net.
