[ripe-list] RIPE 79 thank you!

Dear colleagues,

RIPE 80 ended last Thursday with 2002 attendees registered and an average
of 1300 viewers per day. Thank you all for making the first virtual RIPE
meeting a success!

RIPE 80 was my first meeting as RIPE NCC's Managing Director, and I would
like to thank all of you for your support and kind words. It was also my
last meeting as RIPE Chair as I'll hand over the reins to the new Chair and
Vice-Chair who will be selected by the NomCom in the coming weeks.

During the RIPE Community Plenary, we discussed progress regarding the Code
of Conduct and the Working Group Chair selection process. We issued calls
to form new Task Forces to tackle both of these issues. I will share
updates on these topics on the ripe-list. There were changes in the
community with Constanze Dietrich replacing Jim Reid as the IoT Working
Group Co-chair. Peter Hessler and Wolfgang Tremmel were elected to the RIPE
Programme Committee. Thank you, Jim, for the excellent job and congrats to
Constanze, Peter and Wolfgang.

We were also happy to see that we could bring the RIPE Meeting spirit
online thanks to a high-quality programme, creative social events, fun
quizzes and the general enthusiasm and goodwill of the community.

Archives of all the meeting's presentations are online:

At this moment, it's still unsure whether RIPE 81 will be a physical or
virtual meeting, but we will keep you updated and hope that you'll be a
part of it.

See you soon!
Best regards,
Hans Petter Holen
interim RIPE Chair
