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/
