Although the meeting is > mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with > others in their field. > > RIPE 68 will take place from 12 – 16 May 2014 in Warsaw, Poland. > > The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the > RIPE community for the plenary session presentations, BoFs (Birds of a > Feather sessions), panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE > 68. The PC is looking for 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 > > RIPE Meeting attendees 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. > > The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including > plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather > sessions) and lightning talks. See the full descriptions of these formats at > https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ > > Presenters who are proposing a panel or BoF are encouraged to include > speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral > facilitator. > > In addition to presentations selected in advance for the plenary, the RIPE PC > also offers several time slots for “lightning talks”, which are selected > immediately before or during the conference. > > The following general requirements apply: > > - Proposals for plenary session presentations, BoFs, panels, workshops and > tutorials must be submitted for full consideration no later than 2 March > 2014, using the meeting submission system at > https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/guidelines/. Proposals submitted after > this date will be considered on a space-available basis. > > - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission > system (https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be > submitted just days before the RIPE Meeting starts or even during the meeting > week. The allocation of lightning talk slots will be announced in short > notice – in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the > relevant session. > > - Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. > See more information on time slot allocations per presentation format at > https://ripe68.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ > > - Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain at > least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, > proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited > panelists, presenters and moderators. > > - Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, > presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting. > > If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please > email pc [at] ripe [dot] net. > > --------------------- > >
