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

24 Apr '20

Hi everyone, All good things come to an end - after going on for five weeks, we are going to close this online hackathon by ~~ 5-5-2020! In that way, we can focus on the next challenges - and also give a report at the Virtual RIPE80: https://ripe80.ripe.net/attend/how-to-participat/ Since there are several holidays coming up in Holland, I've changed the "weekly call" dates to: Wednesday, 29th, 2PM CEST & Friday, 8th May, 2PM CEST (for the wrapping-up & reviewing the report) Link for the video-call: > https://jitsi.hamburg.freifunk.net/WiseGeeseUniteCarefully Inspired by the methodology from much bigger virtual events (EUvsVirus), I'm suggesting that, for the next two weeks, we all focus on ONE project and work as ONE team, and then come up with ONE result! Main topic: "Internet Health Measurements" Current results & progress & needs are documented here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/ripe-ncc-corona-hackathon-keep Your idea? Comment? Contribution? Questions? Thanks, Vesna > https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/hackathons-in-the-time-of-corona
