Who else is going to FOSDEM 2018?
by Vesna Manojlovic 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hi, I've heard from a few people already that they will be at FOSDEM, and I suspect many of the previous participants of the RIPE NCC hackathons will be there too. It would be nice to run into each other, or -- we could try to make that happen? Any recommendations for the sessions or speakers to see/meet? I'll be giving out RIPE Atlas probes... https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!conferences I'll hang out in the Community DevRoom on Saturday, and Decentralised Internet and Privacy devroom on Sunday. Ciao, Vesna

Merging RIPE NCC hackathon lists & still some places for IPv6 event in Copenhagen
by Vesna Manojlovic 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Hi all, in the days before our hackathon Version 6, we are realizing that we have too many hackathon-related-mailing lists, and want to merge them. On one hand, I want to be able to keep in touch with the participants from the previous hackathons (and you with each other); on the other hand, I can understand if you also have too much email & too many lists, and don't want to receive more... So, this is the plan: - in two weeks, I will merge the previous 5 lists into one - I will close the 5 old lists You have two weeks to un-subscribe from the "small list", and then you will also have an opportunity to un-subscribe from the joint list. You can do it yourself, or you can ask me to remove you. If you do nothing, I will take that as a silent consent to stay on the list. We do not use it too much: few times a year, to let you know about the upcoming events. Also, I'll use this opportunity to remind you that we still have a few places available for the next hackahton: https://atlas.ripe.net/hackathon/version6/#!application-form * When: Saturday and Sunday, 4-5 November 2017 * Where: Copenhagen, Denmark. * The topic is: IPv6! * *The application deadline is 10.10.* Find out more in this RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/join-the-ripe-ncc-hackathon-version-6 Regards, Vesna Manojlovic Community Builder RIPE NCC

And please spread the word -- I'm still especially looking for more women to join one of our events, to increase the diversity.

Advancing your hackathon projects
by Livingood, Jason 14 Apr '15

14 Apr '15

All of the projects I saw in Amsterdam looked great, and I know a few of you may be continuing to finish up work in advance of the upcoming RIPE meeting in May. If any of you are interested in small grants to develop additional enhancements to make the visualizations even more valuable to the community – we at Comcast have a grants fund to which you can apply. See http://techfund.comcast.com/. The grants usually take 30 – 60 days to review once submitted, so it probably won’t get you something before the RIPE meeting. But it may nevertheless be of interest to some of you. Of course, the same basic rule from the hackathon applies — the work should be open sourced and beneficial to the general RIPE Atlas / RIPE / Internet community. While I will not be at the May RIPE meeting, at least one person from my team will be: Chae Chung (copied). Feel free to reach out to him if you have any interest in discussing Internet performance measurement and visualizations. :-) Regards Jason

We did this during the first Maptime session in November, and it's time to do it again! Bring your favorite map, tell us about this new data visualization you came across, or show us how you've used maps and cartography in your latest project/idea. Afterwards, we'll work on making a 3D map in the browser! Together with my former colleague Laurens Schuurkamp (he now does data visualization at Philips Design), I'll prepare a tutorial on how to display geospatial data in 3D using Three.js. Maptime starts at 6:30 PM. Please bring your own food/snacks/beer/wine! Maptime is hands-on, so don't forget to bring your laptop!

https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-results "In March 2015, a diverse group of contributors got together to come up with creative ways to visualise the health of the Internet using RIPE Atlas open measurements data. It was the first RIPE Atlas hackathon. Impressive results were hacked together by programmers, designers and operators during an intensive weekend of work and fun in Amsterdam. In this article we celebrate hackathon achievements, document and promote hackathon results, create a memento for participants and report in detail for the benefit of the rest of the community." Numbers * We received more than 70 applications for participation * Present: 24 participants & one no-show, 6 jury members and 11 support staff (coincidentally: 42!) * 6 out of 25 participants were female (24%) * 3 jury members were female (50%!) * Ten final projects were presented * Four projects were awarded prizes * 14 free & open source software projects were published on GitHub * 20 litres of tea were consumed * 10 large pizzas were eaten for lunch on Saturday * Two kilograms of chocolate Easter Eggs were munched up * 12 Club-Mate bottles were emptied - All code: RIPE Atlas community pages on GitHub: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib/blob/m… - Videos: on RIPE NCC YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/RIPENCC/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd - Hackathon presentations and code: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-presentations More links & photos in the article... https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-results Share & Enjoy!

Hi all, We have uploaded the videos with your presentations on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWe8TLDNo4Y (Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFTeXHcUPFU (Part 2) Unfortunately something went wrong with the last presentation. Sorry Vinayak! Your presentation was not recorded :( We only realised that when we watched the videos: the hack did not work… And... for those that did not do it yet: can you send us your slides? Thanks, Michela
