Dear RIPE Atlas ambassadors, please forward this invitation to anyone of your contacts that might be interested in participating in the next hackahton. Thanks for spreading the word! Regards, Vesna -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Apply for RIPE NCC IXP-Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid Dear colleagues, After three successful hackahtons focused on RIPE Atlas data, this time, we are going to work on on IXP-related-tools, together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC: the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid. In addition to RIPE Atlas, we will use RIS data, PeeringDB data, existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration (such as IXP manager, IXP-Countri-Jedi...) in order to solve some of the challenges that operators have when making peering decisions, and to illustrate the impact of IXPs on the Internet routing and connectivity. We are looking for designers and developers, students and network operators, and of course colleagues from IXPs, to work together on hacking the new & old toolsets and visualizations! All source code developed during the hackathon will be publicly licensed and available on GitHub, and will be free for the entire community to use. -------------------- How to Apply -------------------- Interested?
