[atlas] Join RIPE NCC IXP Tools Hackathon, 22-23 October, Madrid

Dear colleagues,

together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC, the RIPE NCC is hosting a 
hackathon in the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid.

For a change, the event will *not* be focused on RIPE Atlas _only_,
but on IXP-related-tools.

In addition to RIPE Atlas data, we will use RIS data, PeeringDB data, 
existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration (such as IXP 
manager, IXP-Countri-Jedi...) in order to solve some of the challenges 
that operators have when making peering decisions, and to illustrate the 
impact of IXPs on the Internet routing and connectivity.

We are looking for designers and developers, students and network 
operators, and of course colleagues from IXPs, to work together on 
hacking the new & old toolsets and visualizations!

All source code developed during the hackathon will be publicly licensed 
and available on GitHub, and will be free for the entire community to use.
