> RIPE NCC's services, such as RIS & RIPE Atlas, will be "remixed" with
> other BGP-related data sources & tools, to create wonderful new hacks.

> As participants in RIPE Atlas community, you are very much invited to

> California at San Diego (UCSD) campus.
> Who: Parties interested in hacking on live BGP data.
> Inquiries: bgp-hackathon-info at caida.org

> CAIDA, in cooperation with CSU, USC, UFMG, FORTH, Route Views, RIPE
> NCC, will host a BGP Hackathon on the 6-7th of February 2016 at UC San
> Diego (La Jolla, CA, USA).
> The theme of the hackathon is “live BGP measurements and monitoring”.
> 
> We will provide participating teams with access to data sources and a
> toolbox: live streaming of BGP data, the new BGPMon interface, BGP
> processing tools and APIs such as the opensource BGPStream software
> framework, the PEERING testbed, RIPE RIS, visualization tools, and
> data-plane active measurement platforms such as CAIDA Ark and RIPE
> Atlas. Participating teams will work on "challenges" that extend,
> integrate and demonstrate the utility of these platforms/data for
> understanding or solving practical problems (e.g., detecting BGP
> prefix hijacking, evaluating anycast performance, effectively
> visualizing phenomena).
> 
> The hackathon will be held in San Diego the weekend immediately
> preceding the NANOG conference and the AIMS academic Internet
> measurement workshop.
> The hackathon aims to:
> - bring together these different communities, e.g., to discuss
>  problems operators face that academics may want to research;
> - advertise tools (e.g., PEERING peering.usc.edu, BGPStream
>  bgpstream.caida.org) to the communities and get people familiar with
>  using them, and encourage further use in the future;
> - get people working together on interesting/important problems,
>  hopefully spurring further collaboration on these problems;
> - provide extra incentive for students to attend NANOG.
> 
> ### FORMAT
> Each team of 2-4 people will work on a "challenge".
> The organization committee will propose a set of challenges to
> bootstrap feedback and refinement based on community input:
> participants can propose totally new challenges, modifications to
> existing ones, and express their preferences.
> The set of potential challenges is described in the event website at
> https://github.com/CAIDA/bgp-hackathon/wiki/List-of-Challenges
> and will continuously evolve in the days preceding the hackathon.
> 
> On Saturday morning, participants will very briefly introduce their
> interests and ideas and teams will be officially formed. On Saturday
> and Sunday, participants will work together in teams to hack and
> develop their ideas, culminating in very short presentations to the
> jury on Sunday evening and a party to announce the winning teams and
> celebrate everyone's participation.
> During the event, domain-experts will provide support to the teams.
> 
> Participants are free to work on drafted challenges and on their own
> ideas in the days preceding the hackathon. A mailing list and
> documentation will provide support on the platforms/tools/data used in
> the hackathon. However, for the teams to compete in the hackathon for
> prizes, they will have to demonstrate that substantial work was done
> during the two-day event.
> 
> ### PARTICIPATION AND TRAVEL GRANTS
> Application to participate in the hackathon is open from December
> 8, 2016. Application does not guarantee participation. There is no
> application fee, and no participation fee.  We will accept
> applications until one week before the hackathon, or until capacity is
> reached. However, the deadline to apply for a travel grant (through
> the hackathon application form) is 22 December 2015. Travel grants
> reimburse flights and hotel expenses.
> Food and drinks will be provided throughout the two-day event.
