Hi Denys, Thank you for your email and your message in the forum about the Community Projects Fund. I've now posted a reply. To you and others reading this, please continue the discussion: https://forum.ripe.net/t/ripe-ncc-community-projects-fund-suggestions/941 Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova Community Development Manager RIPE NCC > From: Denys Fedoryshchenko<nuclearcat at nuclearcat.com> > Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 at 20:04 > Subject: [members-discuss] RIPE NCC forum, Community Projects Fund suggestions > To:members-discuss at ripe.net <members-discuss at ripe.net> > > > As mailing list have now high engagement, i would like to hijack this > opportunity to share one more platform for discussion RIPE NCC > provides: Forum, athttps://forum.ripe.net > > I think current situation we reached is also result of low engagement > of RIPE NCC and members, and this should be two-way road.

Openhouse could pre-publish presentation slides and videos. This > approach is more convenient than the current process. At present, we > have to allocate 1:30 hours for our meeting, but with pre-published > videos, we could view them, take notes, prepare data, and formulate > questions ahead of time. The complexity of the topics often prevents > attendees from asking questions during the live sessions. Having access > to materials in advance would facilitate more engaging and productive > discussions during the open house. Another advantage includes fewer > technical issues with Zoom, such as audio muting problems, and reduced > stress for presenters, who could prerecord and edit their > presentations. It would also be beneficial if these presentations were > transcribed, enabling us to search for specific topics and aiding those > with disabilities. > > 2. I am surprised that the live openhouse is the only platform for > discussion. I have suggested that we need a mailing list or forum. The > contact information for presenters is often insufficient; I would > prefer public discussions where I can see other people’s questions and > responses. This open format might also provide corrections if I > misunderstand something. > > 3. Projects posted on the Call for Participation (CFP) should at > least include a project website and contact information. > > 4. It would be preferable to publish projects on the CFP in advance > of approval to facilitate discussion. This allows attendees to prepare > questions and conduct research before projects are approved. For > example, concerning the topic of submarine cables, I have significant > doubts about the adequacy of using just traceroute for measurements. > Such projects need more comprehensive data inputs. For instance, many > ISPs might use a combination of old and new links for traffic > engineering, which traceroute may not adequately detect. Discussions > with project authors could reveal more intriguing aspects than what is > presented in their slides. Additionally, discussions might provide > insights on how projects could be adjusted to be more beneficial for > the community, as suggested by RIPE members, and members opinions can > be taken in consideration by Working Group during the project > evaluation. > > 5. Why are project reports (six-month, one-year) mentioned in > presentations but not published on the RIPE website? We need more > transparency to understand what has been accomplished and the outcomes > of these projects. (APNIC does that) > > 6. RIPE publishes very limited information about its projects. For > example, try finding the repository for “fpdns2: DNS Fingerprinting > Tool” based on the description provided. This lack of information > hinders our ability to follow up on project developments. > > There is more to suggest, but i prefer to get familiar with the > processes and community first. I hope these suggestions will be taken > into consideration and improve the RIPE NCC Community Projects Fund > open house events. > ``` > > > _______________________________________________ > members-discuss mailing list > members-discuss at ripe.net > https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/members-discuss > Unsubscribe:https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/options/members-discuss/kwhite%40ripe.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
