Join RIPE NCC IXP Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid
by Vesna Manojlovic 05 Sep '16

05 Sep '16

Dear colleagues, together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC, the RIPE NCC is hosting a hackathon focused on developing tools for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), in the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid. While the past three hackathons have specifically focused on RIPE Atlas, this event will include other data sources as well, such as: the Routing Information Service (RIS) and the PeeringDB. We will work on existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration in order to solve some of the challenges that operators have when making peering decisions, and to illustrate the impact of IXPs on the Internet routing and connectivity. We are looking for designers and developers, students and network operators, and of course colleagues from IXPs, to work together on hacking the new & old toolsets and visualizations! All source code developed during the hackathon will be publicly licensed and available on GitHub, and will be free for the entire community to use. -------------------- How to Apply -------------------- Interested? Learn more and apply online today! https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/ixp-tools/#!application-form *The application deadline is 15 September* Thanks to our generous sponsors, there is a (limited) travel funding available for certain categories of applicants. Please find more information in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/announcing-the-ixp-tool… We look forward to seeing you there! Regards, Vesna Manojlovic Community Builder RIPE NCC

IXP Best Practice Forum
by Michael Oghia 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Dear colleagues, Building on last year's IGF Best Practice Forum (BPF) on enabling environments for establishing successful IXPs <http://www.intgovforum.org/cms/documents/best-practice-forums/creating-an-e…>, this year's IXP BPF aims to identify success stories and list factors that can contribute to the development and success of IXPs as well as the broader Internet ecosystem. I am reaching out to the RIPE community in particular due to many of the efforts by both the community as well as RIPE NCC in promoting IXPs and interconnection in general <http://www.itu.int/en/Lists/consultation2015/Attachments/36/RIPE-NCC-IXP-IT…> . The IXP BPF is a consensus-driven, bottom-up, and inclusive collaborative effort, one that brings together professional expertise from across stakeholder groups in order to generate a practical, constructive, and relevant outcome document. We are currently soliciting feedback and brainstorming ideas, especially related to the scope and goals of this year's IXP BPF, and invite you to contribute: https://docs.google.com/document/d/144r3BIFX8QF6wg5m-QNdNfDcYHOVoic4fSMKYA4… . If you are not already involved, I encourage you to add suggestions to the document, share it among your networks, and contact Wim Degezelle, the IXP BPF project manager, or Sala Tamanikaiwaimaro, one of our IGF Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) coordinators, for more information or if you have any questions. Additionally, you can sign up for the mailing list at: http://mail.intgovforum.org/mailman/listinfo/bp_ixps_intgovforum.org. Kind regards, -Michael __________________ Michael J.

Dear colleagues, The Internet has a robust infrastructure that was designed to route around damage. But how well does it do this? We use RIPE Atlas to look at how large-scale disruptions in the Internet's core infrastructure affect end-to-end connectivity on the Internet. Please find the result on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/does-the-internet-route-around-dama… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan
by Job Snijders 21 Oct '15

21 Oct '15

Dear Connect Working Group, Many of you are probably familiar with "PeeringDB", one of the most awesome resources for interconnection. What some of you might not know, is that PeeringDB is evolving from a bunch of php scripts into a real organisation with a board and appropiate legal registrations! And as PeeringDB stakeholder you can actually have say in how things are run! :-) Please review Chris Caputo's message below and subscribe yourself to the "pdb-gov" mailing list to stay informed about PeeringDB's governance. Being subscribed to the pdb-gov mailing list (in essence) means you are a 'member' and this will grant your organisation one vote in the upcoming elections. Kind regards, Job ----- Forwarded message from Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> ----- Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:49:12 +0000 (UTC) From: Chris Caputo <secretary(a)peeringdb.com> To: pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com Subject: [PDB-gov] PeeringDB survey results and Board election plan Results of the survey which ended August 15th, along with anonymous comments are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/20150800_PDB_Survey_results.pdf 91 responses, of which 89 voted for the main question: PeeringDB functions should be performed by: - 35 votes, 39.33%: "An independent 501(C)(6) (Not for profit) PeeringDB, with it's own elected board and members" - 14 votes, 15.73%: "The existing global standards body OpenIX 501(C)(6) (Not for profit)" - 10 votes, 11.24%: "The existing regional organization NANOG 501(C)(3) (Not for profit)" - 30 votes, 33.71%: "I don't care just as long as PeeringDB keeps working" That looks like a clear vote for independence, given that the number for independence is 45% more than the combined votes for OpenIX and NANOG. Based on this, we are going to continue working toward becoming an independent non-profit corporation. In the interest of broad support, this is going to be done with transparency and inclusion using the pdb-gov mailing list. The plan: - If you want to participate in the process, please subscribe to the pdb-gov "governance" mailing list with your PeeringDB account email. http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov - Further emails will be sent to pdb-gov mailing list and posted to http://gov.peeringdb.com/ as appropriate. - pdb-gov is where the draft organizational documents will be discussed and refined. These draft documents are up at: https://www.caputo.com/pdb/ - There will be elections for the initial Board of Directors. Candidacies along with max 300 word statements should be submitted to secretary(a)peeringdb.com prior to November 15th. Anyone can run for election to the initial Board. - The interim Secretary (tentatively Chris Caputo) will send out ballots to pdb-gov on November 15th, with voting to happen through November 30th. The org docs currently proscribe one ballot per member organization. The interim Secretary will break ties through public random means. The Secretary will not be eligible for election to the initial Board. - The initial Board will decide on officers, per the tentative Bylaws. The draft documents will then be signed and filed. _______________________________________________ Pdb-gov mailing list Pdb-gov(a)lists.peeringdb.com http://lists.peeringdb.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pdb-gov ----- End forwarded message -----

by remco van mook 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

Dear friends of Connect-WG, in about a month's time we'll be meeting again in lovely Bucharest, Romania. We already have some presentations and updates for the agenda but we'd like to see some more. Topics like: - (de)peering automation - Who's sending me this traffic on an IXP? - I went to the desert and all I had was this lousy 4G signal would be most welcome. Please let us know as soon as possible so we can finish the agenda. Or you'll have to listen to Remco's $1000 IXP presentation again :) Kind regards, Remco and Florence Connect-WG co-chairs
