[ncc-services-wg] Feature request: publishing abstracts for accepted submissions for the RIPE events

Hi Artyom and all,

Thanks for bringing this up. We can discuss this request for publishing 
presentation abstracts with the RIPE and ENOG PCs at the upcoming RIPE 
and ENOG meetings.

We've discussed such ideas before with the RIPE PC and at RIPE 76 we've 
applied a feature that presenters can add their own bio, if they want 
to, which will be associated with their presentation.

An example of this can be seen on - 
https://ripe76.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/plenary/ under the TTLd: 
Total TCP Loss detection presentation.

We will keep you updated.

Many thanks,

Adam Castle
Web Services Manager
RIPE NCC
