Dear RIPE Atlas ambassadors,

It's been a long time since we shared some news, and we have a lot to tell you about!

******** One million credits ********

Do you know that you have 1,000,000 RIPE Atlas credits as thanks for helping us build the largest Internet measurement network? Here are some ways you can take advantage of these credits to run your own measurements:

1) If a customer complains they can't reach your network, you can schedule a ping from 500 probes to diagnose where else in the world this problem is visible. Cost for a one-off ping measurement using 500 probes around the world: 3,000 credits.
2) If you suspect that there are reachability problems between your server and a specific network, you can perform traceroute measurements every 30 minutes from 50 probes located in a certain AS Number, or in a specified country. Daily cost: 72,000 credits.
3) Use DomainMON to monitor your own name servers: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-domainmon-is-here
For example, you could schedule a measurement of 6 name servers for ripe.net<http://ripe.net> with UDP SOA every hour from 10 probes. Daily cost: 28,800 credits.

If you haven't received the million credits yet, it means that none of your ambassador probes have been connected yet. Please chase your contacts and ask them to get their probes online!

******** 10% credits from your online ambassador probes ********

Since this is the holiday season, we believe our ambassadors deserve special recognition for their help. As an ambassador, you will now receive daily 10% of the credits that your ambassador probes generate when they are online. That means you'll receive 2,160 credits every day for each of your ambassador probes that remain online.

******** Ambassador page improvements ********

The ambassador page has been improved. Besides being the place where you register the details of the people you gave the probes to, you can now find helpful information, including:

1) Tools for promoting RIPE Atlas
2) Communications: links to mailing list, conferences page and updates
3) How do I know where probes are needed?
4) How do I ask for more probes?

******** RIPE Atlas in multiple languages ********

You've asked us whether we can provide information about RIPE Atlas in other languages. We'll soon have brochures available online in Spanish, Portuguese and French, with more languages coming. In the meantime, some community members have provided some information and we've collected their articles and blogs on GitHub. Take a look - and feel free to add your own: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/multi-lingual-docs

It has been a great year for RIPE Atlas and we wish to thank you for your contribution! We hope we can count on your cooperation again next year.

Happy Holidays!
