We often receive questions from LIRs about how to receive the "4-star IPv6 RIPEness" status. In this article, we describe how you can find out how many IPv6 RIPEness stars you have and which are missing. We also include instructions on how to get all four stars.

“I would like to participate next year. Where can I get more info? I am in San Antonio, Texas, US and am currently taking the Quantum Computing Algorithms for Cybersecurity, Chemistry, and Optimization course through MIT xPRO and plan to enroll to purse my Master's Degree in Computer Science at the local university. (I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.) Please, advise. Thank you. billgonzalez@webheadtech.com”
Thanks for your interest. I'll get back to you by email. But you can also reach us at peqi-hackathon-orga@ripe.net
“The project page notes the deadline as September 9th, however after the application is submitted, we are told that the deadline was September 1st and we are wait-listed. Which is the correct deadline? Thanks, Tasos Bitsios”
Thank you for pointing that out - we have fixed the text. (the original deadline was 1. September, we have extended it but there are many places where that was supposed to be fixed, and we missed one or two). Regards, Vesna
"Should businesses have a Chief Ethics Officer?" YES!
I like the related article in Atlantic ("I Spent Two Years Trying to Fix the Gender Imbalance in My (STEM) Stories") from February 2018, and a quote: "Crucially, I tracked how I was doing in a simple spreadsheet. I can’t overstate the importance of that: It is a vaccine against self-delusion. It prevents me from wrongly believing that all is well." https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/i-spent-two-years-trying-to-fix-the-gender-imbalance-in-my-stories/552404/

Thanks, Stephane! In addition to Stephane's tools being updated to enable this new measurement, Hugo Salgado "patched" the "official" CLI toolset, and since then the new version has been published by Chris Amin: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-tools/ So now there are multiple ways to measure latency towards your web server using command-line tools!
“Hi Vesna, thanks for covering this! Does the Country Jedi have to be installed from GitHub to use? Or is there an online portal? I am not sure how to get it to work, but I want to share it with people (and encourage them to use it). I liked Mirjam's presentation at the CEE Peering Days, and I think it could be really useful. Feel free to ping me on another platform too.”
Hi Michael, thanks for your interest! Yes, IXP-Country-Jedi is available both as an installed version, and as an "online portal" - however, it is still a prototype! You can find the latest data per country here: http://sg-pub.ripe.net/emile/ixp-country-jedi/latest/ For example, Serbia: http://sg-pub.ripe.net/emile/ixp-country-jedi/latest/RS/ The additional "Per AS report" is only available for Greece, for now: http://sg-pub.ripe.net/petros/ixpcountryjedi/2017-04-01/GR/perasn/index.html And the code on GitHub is here: https://github.com/emileaben/ixp-country-jedi I hope you have fun using it, and thanks for pointing people to our tools! Cheers, Vesna
This is a pair of frequent questions: 1) I have too many credits - who can I give them to? 2) I need more credits - who wants to give me some? Usually, people post their offers & requests to either "ripe-atlas@ripe.net" mailing list, or on Twitter, with a hashtag #RIPEAtlas or mentioning the user @RIPE_Atlas So please check and use either one of those. Thanks! Vesna
