<br>
together with Euro-IX, Comcast and ISOC, the RIPE NCC is hosting a hackathon focused on developing tools for Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), in the weekend before RIPE73, in Madrid.<br>
<br>
While the past three hackathons have specifically focused on<br>
RIPE Atlas, this event will include other data sources as well,<br>
such as: the Routing Information Service (RIS) and the PeeringDB.<br>
<br>
We will work on existing software tools that deal with IXP-data-integration 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.<br>
<br>
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!<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
