[ripe-list] RIPEng

Hi, I can’t see who said they’d volunteer to teach basic routing, I’ll assume it was Randy given the links provided - I’m Aleix and so far relatively unfamiliar with the workings of RIPE, but want to get into it more. So far I have been to only a couple of events including for example the DNS Hackathon in Rotterdam.

I’ll absolutely check out the material and I’m very interested in learning more (and I learn fast), but I see that there is something that I can contribute myself as well.

I’m not entirely clueless when it comes to routing, but not suited to teach it. However, with an existent volunteer teacher - I’ve done some workshop organising (and led some, but these had nothing to do with IT) and I’d know quite well where, how and in some cases even who I’d potentially recruit for a routing workshop or seminar.

I volunteer to put effort in for organisation and recruitment because when it comes to RIPE, there’s so far not much else I can bring to the table. Depending on the location if it’s not online I could potentially even source a physical place for near free or even really for free.

If that’s interesting feel free to reach out to me, I’d love to help with this.

Aleix
