[lac-discuss-en] Call for Presentations RIPE 73 | Madrid, Spain | 24-28 Oct. 2016
Dear friends and colleagues,
This might be of interest to some.
Regards,
Maritza -------- Forwarded Message -------- Call for Presentations A RIPE
Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network operators
and other interested parties get together. Although the meeting is mostly
technical, it is also a chance for people to meet and network with others in
their field. RIPE 73 will take place from 24-28 October 2016 in Madrid, Spain.
The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the
RIPE community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions),
panels, workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 73. See the full
descriptions of the different presentation formats,
https://ripe73.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/. 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- Internet of Things (IoT) 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. Presenters should indicate how much time
they will require. In general, the time allocated for the different
presentation formats is as follows: - Plenary presentations: 20-25
minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes discussion- Tutorials: up to
two hours (Monday morning)- Workshops: one hour (during evening
sessions) to two hours (Monday morning)- BoFs: approximately one hour-
Lightning talks: 10 minutes The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system,
https://ripe73.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/.- Lightning
talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system
(https://ripe73.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) and can be submitted
any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning
talks will be announced on short notice---in some cases on the same day but
often one day prior to the time slot allocated.- Presenters who
propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps
even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator.- All
presentation proposals 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
panellists, presenters and moderators.- Due to potential technical
issues, presenters/panellists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting.
If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please
email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.
