[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] Delayed RIPE Atlas Probe Shipments and Other News

Dear RIPE Atlas ambassadors,

thank you for your continued support of RIPE Atlas, and your efforts
to distribute the RIPE Atlas probes and record the hosts.
We are delighted to have 100 active RIPE Atlas ambassadors on board!

We regret to inform you that we have temporarily run out of RIPE Atlas 
probes. We are currently purchasing and initialising 5,000 new probes 
but this process will take at least a month. We are unable to ship any 
additional probes until the beginning of July, at the earliest. If you 
have already requested a new shipment, we will keep this request in our 
"wait-queue" and evaluate it in July.

Our current goal is to increase the percentage of RIPE Atlas probes that 
are active, rather than to continue distributing probes.

Therefore, we kindly ask you to:
- Record those to whom you gave probes (as many as possible)
- Remind people to plug in and register their probe

Over the next six months, we will focus on building the RIPE Atlas 
network in geographical areas outside of the RIPE NCC service region. 
Please let us know if you can help us in these efforts.

Thank you for your patience and contribution to RIPE Atlas.

Regards,
Vesna and Measurements Community Building Team
