[NLNOG] Call for Presentations: RIPE 82

[Jelte Jansen]

*RIPE 82 will be a free virtual event and will take place from 17-21
May 2021*

The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from
the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, lightning talks and BoFs.
Please note that no workshops or tutorials will be organised at this 
meeting.

The RIPE 82 Meeting plan is available here:

https://ripe82.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/

You have until *19 March 2021* to submit your presentations proposals.
Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the 
slots still available in the programme.

The PC is looking for presentations covering 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)

RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations 
non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged.
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.

Submissions
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The following general requirements apply:

- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system,
https://ripe82.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/

- 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 panelists, presenters and moderators.

- Presenters should indicate how much time their presentations will 
require. Here’s an indication of the average duration of each session
format:

o Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 10-5 minutes
discussion
o Lightning talks: 10 minutes for both the presentation and discussion
o BoFs: one hour

- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the same meeting 
submission system and can be submitted any time up to and including the 
meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced the 
week before the RIPE Meeting.

- Presenters who propose a BoF are encouraged to include speakers from
several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator.

More detail on the presentation formats can be found here:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Plenary or Working Group?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a
presentation for a plenary or working group 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:
