My contribution
- Creatively Connecting Communities
- 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:
- reachability : https://atlas.ripe.net
- 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
- I've helped organise 10 hackathons, resulting in 100's of projects:
- all the code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib/blob/master/README.md
- all the reports are available on RIPE Labs https://labs.ripe.net/hackathons
- there's a mailing list with the active community:
