Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is hosting Member Lunches in London and Manchester on 9-10 December and all RIPE NCC members are cordially invited to attend.
The goal of these lunches is to offer you an opportunity to meet up with our staff and discuss how we can better engage with the local technical community. Members can use this opportunity to resolve any issues with resource requests or open tickets. The lunch also gives members an open-discussion format to exchange ideas and information among each other as well as with RIPE NCC staff. The RIPE NCC staff who will attend are: - Andrew de la Haye, Chief Operations Officer - Ed Shryane, RIPE Database Team - Fergal Cunningham, Membership Communications Officer - Vesna Manojlovic, Senior Community Builder All those who register will be sent a further information sheet with more details prior to the meeting. There was also an article about the Member Lunch initiative in the recent RIPE NCC Member Update, which explains what we hope to achieve with them and the benefits they provide for members: https://www.ripe.net/publications/member-update/member-update-pdfs/issue-30-november-2015 If you are interested in attending, please see the details below and fill out the registration form.
