Fwd: [] PicoPeering 2024
by Vesna Manojlovic ＠ RIPE.net 16 May '24

16 May '24

FYI From: Adam Burns <adamb(a)free2air.net> Hi all ... Join us on Fri/Sat for a gathering of PicoPeers! During 2002-3, around the time Freifunk (DE CWN) was forming, a group of early open wifi activists from London & Berlin came together to exchange knowledge and experience in building and establishing Community Wireless Networks. A simple document, thePicoPeering Agreement <http://www.picopeer.net/>, was co-authored to clearly state expectations and obligations in participating in such community networks and to facilitate further wider connectivity. Today, Freifunk and many community networks around the world use the PicoPeering Agreement as a foundational document for their activities. On Friday May 17 & Saturday May 18 many of the original geeks, activists and artists along with other interested people are meeting in Berlin once again, to reflect and celebrate the past, examine and question the document in the context of the present, and discuss future improvements and possibilities. We invite all interested picopeers and friends to come and participate in this event. - When: Sat 18 May, from 11:00 CEST until late in the evening - Where: Rooftop above c-base, Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin - Remote:https://jitsi.c-base.org/PicoPeers (both days) The majority of the talks, discussions and remote video links to the Battlemesh conference and other community network activists will be be streamed on Saturday May 18 from about 12:00 onwards. There will be a BBQ too. There will be an informal planning and hacking day on Friday May 17th to meet and greet, collaboratively plan Saturday's proceedings, and to explore other emerging tech such as LoRa. All are welcome to attend. Free entry to all peers of course, but any/all contributions to help cover event costs are welcomed. - c-base has kindly offered to help to organise the space availability & some setup/teardown. Many thanks to cven & others. - Freifunk has offered to contribute the costs for the rooftop venue. Many thanks to Andreas Bräu for making this happen. _______________________________________________ gaia mailing list --gaia(a)irtf.org To unsubscribe send an email togaia-leave(a)irtf.org

by Vesna Manojlovic 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

Hi all, especially 10 new subscribers that were lost in moderator's queue ;-) There will be no hackathon next to RIPE87 in Rome - however - we are testing a different way to engage in a decentralised ways: Local Hubs! https://ripe87.ripe.net/attend/call-for-local-hubs/ If you are planning to remotely participate in the RIPE meeting, you could organise a group to do it together, and then invite more locals to have discussions IRL, and strengthen the local communities! Possible locations can be universities, hackerspaces, co-working place, data-center, someone's office... I've had positive experiences with Local Hubs in (quantum internet) hackathons, Wikimedia, CCC & "Computing within Limits" conferences... now I am looking forward to try it out with RIPE community. And before that, maybe I'll see some of you in Prague: https://www.ietf.org/how/runningcode/hackathons/118-hackathon/ Ciao, Vesna -- Senior Community Builder, RIPE NCC https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/

by Vesna Manojlovic 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Hi, the IETF112 has a (virtual) hackathon coming up: 1-5 November 2021 https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/112hackathon At the same time, there's an interesting discussion going on , on their list: someone suggested a project on e-tax & APIs... Some people complained that the project is: - maybe not relevant - maybe too political - maybe not technical enough ... BUT some other people defended it as: - it might become relevant - technical is political - the spirit of the the "hackathon" is to explore & mix the skills https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/hackathon/zV_XmUnMgTHNe8PtF9D4ELaj69Y/ Good lessons to learn about our future hackahtons :) Ciao, Vesna

Cheers, Charles _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Measuring Network Quality for End-Users, 2021 An Internet Architecture Board virtual workshop Call for Papers The Internet in 2021 is quite different from what it was 10 years ago. Today, it is a crucial part of everyone’s daily life. People use the Internet for their social life, for their daily jobs, for routine shopping, and for keeping up with major events. An increasing number of people can access a Gigabit connection, which would be hard to imagine a decade ago. And, thanks to improvements in security, people trust the Internet for both planning their finances and for everyday payments. At the same time, some aspects of end-user experience have not improved as much... The IAB is holding this workshop to convene interested researchers, network operators, and Internet technologists to share their experiences and to collaborate on the steps needed to define properties and metrics with the goal of improving Internet access for all users. Interested participants are invited to submit position papers on the workshop questions. Paper size is not limited, but brevity is encouraged. Submissions Due: Monday 2nd August 2021, midnight Invitations Issued by: Monday 16th August 2021 Workshop Date: This will be a virtual workshop, spread over three days: 1400-1800 UTC 14th-15th-16th September 2021 https://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/network-quality/

Save the dates: IoT Hackathon & Quantum Internet Hackathon, 2019 editions
by Vesna Manojlovic 17 Jun '19

17 Jun '19

Dear all, Many hackathon-related things took place during the recent RIPE Meeting. We asked you about your preferences for possible hackathon topics, and we announced that we are looking for interested parties to help us organise our next events. ---------------------------- The IoT Hackathon ---------------------------- The IoT hackathon will take place over the weekend before RIPE 79: 12 - 13 October 2019, in Rotterdam. Co-organisers: RIPE NCC, Lexta Consultants Group & the IoT Working Group chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Pan-European Quantum Internet Hackathon ------------------------------------------------------------------ While we still have to work out the precise date, we do know that we will tackle Quantum Internet topics in November 2019. This hackathon is being organized in cooperation with Quantum Internet Alliance. True to the quantum spirit, the hackathon will take place across Europe at multiple ‘nodes’ or locations at the same time. For now, the "nodes" can be found at Delft (the Netherlands), Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Paris (France), Dublin (Ireland), Padua (Italy). ------------------------------------------------------------------ Network Automation in 2020 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Most answers to our poll were in favour of "network automation", and we will consider organising a hackathon around that topic in 2020. We are now looking for more supporters for all of those events! There are many ways in which you can do that: - You could consider being a “node” - You could sponsor a hackathon financially - You can also support a hackathon by providing equipment - You can help out as a ‘facilitator’, or by being a hackathon co-organiser in 2020 - And you can always lend a hand by putting us in touch with people or organisations who are interested in coming on board to support hackathons! If you are interested in any of the above, please write to me off-list, or email labs(a)ripe.net For those of you who are interested in participating in either of our hackathons in 2019, we’ll share more details soon, on this list and on RIPE Labs.
