Call for software project proposals (TU Delft)
Folks, ## TL;DR: ``` if project_idea_exists and time_remaining <= 0: upload_to_students("https://sp.pages.ewi.tudelft.nl/site/") see_previous_year_project("https://ntpinfo.sidnlabs.nl") print("it uses RIPE Atlas") print("Deadline: Sunday March 15th 2026.") else: coffee.refill() ``` ## Longer version If you have a nice project idea but no time to develop, you could consider to "outsource" it to a group of 5 bachelor students to do that for you. Previous year example: we wanted a Internet.nl-like site for NTP, but we lacked CPU cycles do develop it. So we submitted a project proposal to TU Delft software project course[0], and students developed it[1], as an open-source project. We host a copy at SIDN Labs: https://ntpinfo.sidnlabs.nl. It uses **ripe atlas** to do real-time atlas measurements. The students presented it at both RIPE91[2] and ICANN84 meetings[3]. We would like to invite folks from the RIPE community to submit projects too. ## Who can submit it? * Anyone, can be from companies or academia * It does not have to be open-source, but students like open-source better -- it helps them to find jobs later ## What's your role going to be? * You'll be the _client_, you have to say what you need. * The students have a _coach_ and a supervisor to help make the technical choices ## What can you expect? * A group of 5 motivated second year Bachelor students. * The project will run from mid April to the end of June (roughly 10 weeks). * Each student will spend up to 320 hours working on the project (most of which will be development). * As a client company you retain the IP for the product that is developed by the students during the project. * The students retain the IP of the report they have to create about their project.

.NA and .AS funded one of them to present at TechDay Dublin, and 3 more pitched up as well, the 5th one doing a Semester in South Korea, so could not make the F2F. They have a clue.

## Longer version
If you have a nice project idea but no time to develop, you could consider to "outsource" it to a group of 5 bachelor students to do that for you.
Previous year example: we wanted a Internet.nl-like site for NTP, but we lacked CPU cycles do develop it. So we submitted a project proposal to TU Delft software project course[0], and students developed it[1], as an open-source project. We host a copy at SIDN Labs: https://ntpinfo.sidnlabs.nl. It uses **ripe atlas** to do real-time atlas measurements.
The students presented it at both RIPE91[2] and ICANN84 meetings[3].
We would like to invite folks from the RIPE community to submit projects too.
## Who can submit it?
* Anyone, can be from companies or academia * It does not have to be open-source, but students like open-source better -- it helps them to find jobs later
## What's your role going to be?
* You'll be the _client_, you have to say what you need. * The students have a _coach_ and a supervisor to help make the technical choices
## What can you expect?
* A group of 5 motivated second year Bachelor students. * The project will run from mid April to the end of June (roughly 10 weeks). * Each student will spend up to 320 hours working on the project (most of which will be development). * As a client company you retain the IP for the product that is developed by the students during the project. * The students retain the IP of the report they have to create about their project.

Hmmm, someone broke it … this is currently a 404 but seemed to have existed in the past, Google still remembers it. Someone with a direct contact at TU Delft should probably let them know. Oh, and they could also monitor their page with Atlas … SCNR Cheers -Andreas

Thanks Andreas for reporting this. (I have a TU Delft hat as well, so I just opened a ticket with the IT staff). Long story short: they seem to be updating their gitlab, which hosts the software project site. It should be fixed soon.
