[ripe-list] RIPE 81 Call for Presentations

Call for Presentations

   *RIPE 81 will take place online between the  27th - 30th October 2020*

   The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content
   proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions and
   lightning talks.

   We will be working with the NCC Meeting Team to facilitate BoF
   sessions, but due to the lack of physical constraints we do not
   envisage rejecting any BoF applications.

   There are no plans for workshops or tutorials as part of this
   meeting.

   More detail on the presentation formats can be found here:
   https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/

   Proposals for these sessions must be submitted for full
   consideration no later than August 30th 2020. Proposals submitted after
   this date will be considered depending on the slots still available in the programme.

   The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of
   network engineering and operations, including but not limited
   to:
   - IPv6 deployment
   - Managing IPv4 scarcity
   - Data centre technologies
   - Network and DNS operations
   - Internet governance and regulatory practices
   - Network and routing security
   - Content delivery
   - Internet peering and mobile data exchange
   - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT)

   Submissions
   ----
   Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a
   presentation for a plenary or working group (WG) session.  At
   present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals,
   discussion points or other content directly via their mailing
   lists.  If you’re not sure what kind of session you should be
   presenting at, please visit:
   
   https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/plenary-or-wg/

   RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping
   presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are
   strongly discouraged.
   Repeated audience feedback shows that the most successful
   talks focus on operational experience, research results, or
   case studies.  For example, presenters wishing to describe a
   commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology
   and should not attempt a product demonstration.

   Presenters should indicate how much time they will require.
   In general, the time allocated for the different presentation
   formats is as follows:
   - Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10
   minutes discussion
   - BoFs: approximately one hour
   - Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the
   presentation and any discussion

   The following general requirements apply:
   - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission
   system, https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/
   - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting
   submission system (https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/)
   and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting
   week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced on
   short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day
   prior to the time slot allocated.
   - Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to
   include speakers from several (perhaps even competing)
   companies and/or a neutral facilitator.
   - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the
   PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides
   may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain
   a clear description, as well as the names of invited
   panellists, presenters and moderators.
