Guidelines for RIPE Meeting Presentations
Submissions that are the most likely to appeal to the RIPE audience are those that:
- Clearly indicate the submitter’s contribution to the work being presented
- Give appropriate credit for significant contributions from others (including quotes, art, and data, from any source including generative AI)
- Use high-contrast colours and large fonts
- Avoid busy backgrounds and unnecessary animation
- Use visuals (if any) primarily to help the audience understand the content better
- Avoid visuals that distract from the work being presented
- Avoid excessive use of art or other content from a single external creator
- Avoid significant use of generative AI to produce art or text (not including spelling/grammar checks, autocorrect/autopredict, or similar assistive tools)
Reminder: it is the submitter’s responsibility to ensure that they have the appropriate rights and permissions for the content of their submission, including artworks or the products of generative AI.
Some resources for freely reusable art include:
