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/

Re: [Hackathon-list] Results of the First Virtual RIPE NCC Hackathon

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...
