you've CC'ed hackathon-list(a)lripe.net. Is that a typo? As I said in a bunch of emails, lists.ripe.net is not answering SMTP. I'm gonna remove the l, and hope hackathon-list(a)ripe.net actually works.

Yes, that's true. I want to point that spreading the effort over many weeks may be something *not* to do here. Having a few SPIKEs of four to six hours may work well. > Speaking of names, we had hosted an internal RIPE NCC "collaborathon" in > 2018, where the goal was to involve "non-technical" people (I hate that > distinction!), who would be scared away by the idea that "hacking" has > to do only with programming...

We will re-consider the situation after the summer. Speaking of names, we had hosted an internal RIPE NCC "collaborathon" in 2018, where the goal was to involve "non-technical" people (I hate that distinction!), who would be scared away by the idea that "hacking" has to do only with programming... > I did not quite follow all the things that were done in this Hackathon, > and based upon: "You should not try to compensate for lost productivity by > working longer hours", I did not participate at all. Great choice! We all need to re-calibrate our work-life balance in the face of multiple global crisis we are living through right now... Having said that, I do invite all of you to two relevant events: Internet Measurement Village 2020: online event, that aims to share the tools, datasets, and methodologies of projects that measure the Internet. from Wednesday, 10th June 2020 to Friday, 3rd July 2020 https://ooni.org/post/2020-internet-measurement-village/#schedule IETF 108 Hackathon Online Monday, July 20 through Friday July 24, 2020 https://www.ietf.org/how/runningcode/hackathons/108-hackathon/ Be mindful of your needs and levels of energy, and choose carefully what to focus on & what can you contribute. Kind regards, Vesna

Dear all, over the last few months we've organised a fully online event. It was a new experience for us, and here is a report on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/report-from-the-first-virtual-ripe-ncc-… I would also like to hear about your remote hackahtons: do share! We don't have any concrete plans for the future events, so if you'd like to send some suggestions, please do! Stay safe, and practice solidarity, Vesna
