This is the longer version of a lightning talk Vesna Manojlovic gave at the recent SEE 4 meeting: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/measuring-countries-and-ixps-in-the… Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC

10 Apr '15

Dear all, 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: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/becha/ripe-atlas-hackathon-results 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 Links: - 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 Regards, Vesna

MAT WG Chair selection process
by Christian Kaufmann 07 Apr '15

07 Apr '15

Dear MAT WG, as you might have seen on other RIPE WG mailinglists or experienced at the last RIPE meeting in London, all the WG's are coming up with a documented and transparent Chair selection process. In the past - the Chair which wanted to leave organised himself a replacement which was then accepted via humming or show of hands during the WG Session. This was not allowing people which where interested in becoming a chair but did not know about the upcoming change to run for this position. Also did WG Chairs tend to stay for a long time so there was not much chance for other people to become a Chair. The new process should solve this problems and also confirm every so often that the WG still want to have the existing chair as chair. My proposal for the MAT WG is the following, which is basically identically to what others like the DBWG are doing. 1. A call for interested parties is made on the WG mailing list at three yearly intervals, or as needed 2. Interested parties have 2 weeks to make their interest known via the mailing list 3. The MAT-WG chairs issue a call for discussion as per normal. WG members express their approval or otherwise of the presented candidates. 4. After two weeks the chairs declare consensus as they would do for a policy proposal This process would be used to reconfirm the existing chairs as well. Please let me know if this proposal suits our WG or not in the next 4 weeks. After we agreed on a process I will issue the first call for the vacant CoChair position. Best regards, Christian Kaufmann MAT WG (Co)-Chair

Dear colleagues, As you might have heard, there was a power outage last week Friday in the north of The Netherlands, a country with a very high density of RIPE Atlas probes. This density provides us with some interesting data and visualisation.

New on RIPE Labs: Measuring Countries and IXPs with RIPE Atlas
by Mirjam Kuehne 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Dear colleagues, We've been working with various Internet Exchange Points to see how RIPE Atlas active measurements can provide insight into how they are keeping local traffic local. To explore this we've created a set of python scripts to analyse Internet traffic paths between RIPE Atlas probes in a given country and see if they traverse IXPs. Please find more information on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/emileaben/measuring-ixps-with-ripe-atlas Kind regards, Mirjam Kuehne RIPE NCC
