RIPE 47 Meeting

EOF Info

The European Operators Forum (EOF) is a forum where new technology developments of interest to Internet Protocol network operators are presented and discussed. The EOF has no formal charter or chair. The agenda is co-ordinated by a program committee led by Rob Blokzijl, RIPE Chair.

Participation is open to all interested parties. The EOF is normally a day and a half session that takes place prior to scheduled RIPE Working Group sessions. The Program Committee welcomes input for possible topics and can be reached at <eof-coord@ripe.net>.

Presenting at the EOF

The EOF wants to attract practical hands-on experience reports. We aim to make the process of turning interesting experiences into presentations as easy as possible. Consider the following:

  • presentations do not have to be long
    Something interesting can be said in as little as ten minutes. This limits the time spent to prepare material and is often a good way to start for first-timers.
  • support is available
    We will do our best to support you in preparing your presentation. If you want, we can help structure your material, help polish language and arrange for a test-run of your presentation. We can also try to arrange for someone from the same country or region to support you. We can also help finding someone else to present your material in case you cannot make it to the meeting. In short: If you have something intersting to say, we will help you do it! Contact <eof-coord@ripe.net> for more information.
  • no product marketing presentations
    The EOF is not an appropriate forum for product marketing presentations.
    User experience reports that are presented by users are definitely relevant. In-depth technical presentations or tutorials are also possible.
