Every so often I get to travel for work. This time I was allowed to go to one of the two RIPE meetings this year. RIPE is the organization that manages IP space called a Regional Internet Registry or RIR, which service region consist of 75 countries mainly in Europe and the Middle East. Since I, together with a colleague, handle the IP space for my employer SURF as the local internet registry (LIR) I got to attend this meeting in Prague.
