RIPE 50 - Information for Newcomers

RIPE Meetings provide an opportunity for the RIPE community to come together face-to-face and exchange information.

Newcomers Introduction Talk

For those who were new to a RIPE Meeting, there was the Newcomers’ Introduction Talk on Monday at 1.15pm in Room C58. The Chair of RIPE and a RIPE NCC staff member presented an overview of RIPE and the RIPE NCC, and explained how the RIPE Meetings are structured.
