- I want to cross-link all of these separate hackathons!
- Let's combine our strengths & work on this together!
- I'm interested in OPEN communication & sharing of knowledge, data, ideas, results
- RIPE NCC has a wealth of data available, about Internet measurements:

- routed prefixes: https://ris.ripe.net
- IP-to-geolocation infrastructure mapping: https://ipmap.ripe.net
- portal & APIs for all of the above: https://stat.ripe.net
