[RIPE Atlas Ambassadors] Request for advices on how behaving as an "ambassador" (& hackers)

Hi Sylvain,

regarding your questions about hackers events & hackerspaces:

(I am cc-ing ambassadors list, because this might be of interest to
others... )

If he wants to promote where he will be, we have this nice page:
https://atlas.ripe.net/get-involved/community/#!conferences

He can let us know & we'll add his events to the page.

He can use the slide-deck that we offer to all the ambassadors, as PDF
or Keynote (with trainer notes!) or PowerPoint...

Or even a pretty / glossy brochure, available from here:

As Lia said, they can all get their own probe ;-)

And the value of the probe in the hacklab is NOT for the hacklab itself,
but for the people _outside_ of Bolivia to make the measurements from
that one.. and that's the most valuable if it's stable & online as much
as possible.

Furthermore, I'd like them to add a "tag" on their probe called
"hackerspace", so that others know more about their probe...

... because we have a few fun projects with these special probes:

Tagging them on the hackerspaces.org with "RIPE Atlas":

& Hackerspaces Jedi, by Emile Aben:

Which is using all the probes in all the hackerspaces & makes a "mesh"
traceroute measurement between them & visualizes the results:

Thanks for reaching out to these alternative communities :)

Ciao,
