[ripe-list] RIPEng

Well maybe a starting point would be for some of the “grey beards” to stop being so confrontational and generally “crusty” when it comes to engaging with new members of the RIPE community.

I honestly don’t see how RIPE or any of the other technical groups is going to flourish in the future of it continues to be dominated by a vocal group of, mostly, older white men who have an unhealthy relationship with a Utopian vision of the Internet from 20 odd years ago.

The Internet of 2024 is a very different beast from that of the 1990s.

at ripe and nanog we talk about bringing up the next generation.  at
fosdem they're doing it.

a good friend reports that fosdem has a junior track this year.  they
brought their tweens to it, and it was great!  very hands on.  vesna or
other fosdem attendees, did you look in on the junior track?

so what would be a junior program for ripe or nanog?
