[mat-wg] Nine new RIPE Atlas anchors joined the community

Dear colleagues,

We are proud to announce that nine new RIPE Atlas anchors have been
activated since my previous announcement:

* de-cal-as39702, S-IT Informationstechnologie Betreiber, Calw, Germany.

* nz-hlz-as681, hosted by the University of Waikato, Hamilton.
This is the first RIPE Atlas anchor in New Zealand!

* Three anchors by DigitalOcean: uk-slo-as202109 located in Slough,
United Kingdom, us-sfo-as14061 located in San Francisco, United States,
& sg-sin-as133165 in Singapore City, Singapore.

* de-ett-as202040, hosted by SCT Schiele GmbH in Ettlingen, Germany.

* nl-ams-as3265, hosted by XS4ALL in Amsterdam, Nederland.

* us-den-as7922, second anchor hosted by Comcast, this time in Denver,
United States.

* de-nue-as33988, hosted by teamix GmbH in Nuremberg, Germany.

This brings the total number of anchors to 78.

Due the summer holidays, the growth in RIPE Atlas anchors have slowed
down, but we do expect a new "surge" in the last quarter of this year.

We are still accepting new applications from individuals and
organisations interested in hosting a RIPE Atlas anchor.

We are particularly interested in deploying anchors in the Middle East,
Western Asia, Latin America and Africa, in order to add more
geographical diversity to the measurement data.
