[mat-wg] Results of RIPE Atlas data visualization hackathon

Dear all,

In March 2015, a diverse group of contributors got together to come up
with creative ways to visualise the health of the Internet using RIPE
Atlas open measurements data. It was the first RIPE Atlas hackathon.

Impressive results were hacked together by programmers, designers and
operators during an intensive weekend of work and fun in Amsterdam.

In this article we celebrate hackathon achievements, document and
promote hackathon results, create a memento for participants and report
in detail for the benefit of the rest of the community:
