[ripe-list] RIPE 80 New Call for Presentations

Hi all, 

I hope you and your dear ones are all well and healthy. As you have
probably seen the registration for the online RIPE80 is now open. In
order to remind everyone that even in the current state of the world
RIPE80 is happening and we are looking forward to your great
presentations we have decided to reissue the CfP and also to extend the
deadline. 

Below you find the new CfP and we're happy receive your submissons. We
are all still in the process of working out how to make this work in
the best possible fashion - so if you have any questions regarding
plenary presentations, Lightning Talks or BoFs don't hesitate to
contact the PC.

All the best, 

Franziska 
( on behalf of the RIPE PC ) 



Dear colleagues,

The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is re-issuing the Call For 
Presentations for RIPE 80 as the event was recently moved online.

RIPE 80 will be a free virtual event with a shorter programme and a
new 
schedule that will take place during the week of May 11.

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

More detail on the presentation formats is available at:
https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/

You have until *April, 19 2020* to submit your presentations
proposals. 
Proposals submitted after this date will only be considered if there
are 
still time slots available.

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)

-----------------
Submissions
-----------------
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:
https://ripe80.ripe.net/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 their presentations will
require.

Here’s an indication of the average duration of each session format:
- Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 5-10 minutes 
discussion
- Lightning talks: 10 minutes for both the presentation and discussion
- BoFs: one hour

The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, 
https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting
submission 
system (https://ripe80.ripe.net/submit-topic/). 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 panelists, presenters and moderators.
