RIPE Meeting Mentoring
------------------------
If you've been to a few meetings already, please consider signing up to
be a RIPE Meeting Mentor. All you need to do is email a newcomer, meet
for a coffee and check in with them a few times over the week to make
sure they're finding their way.
Being new at a RIPE Meeting can be intimidating and we want to make sure
everyone feels welcome. You can indicate your interest in mentoring when
you register or you can sign up here:

----------------------------------
RIPE Meetings are Parent-Friendly
----------------------------------
We provide on-site childcare for parents in the community who need to
bring their children in order to take part in a RIPE Meeting. Space is
limited and childcare was fully booked at RIPE 78, so make sure you
register early to secure your place:

----------------------
RIPE Networking App
----------------------
Easily network with fellow attendees using our open-source app built by
the RIPE NCC. All you need to log in is a RIPE NCC Access account:

Join us for a two-day Internet of Things hackathon the weekend before
RIPE 79 (12-13 October). Participants will develop several IoT tools,
products and apps for the RIPE community. If you want to get involved,
