At RIPE 76, everyone's been talking about hackathons, so we want to remind you of two events that the RIPE NCC is organising with our partners, iNOG and TU Delft - the first in June in Dublin and the second in October in Amsterdam.
Update:
We have published a new article about Quantum Internet Hackathon, with more details about projects -

Introduction
Hackathons provide great opportunities for students, network operators, designers, researchers, local communities and other enthusiastic coders and hackers to come together and develop new and creative tools, to meet others in their field, and to exchange knowledge and experience with people very different from their everyday colleagues.
Our events are cooperative, rather than competitive, and we produce Free and Open Source Software (FLOSS), to be contributed back to the community. Read more about the previous six awesome hackathons organised by the RIPE NCC.

Other Friendly Hackathons
During RIPE76 in Marseille, Charles Eckel talked about Combining Open Source and Open Standards, and he promoted hackathons as one way to achieve building code and open standards through collaboration. He used IETF hackathons as an example, and invited participants to join; here are more details:
- IETF 102 Hackathon: 14-15 July 2018, the weekend before IETF in Montreal
- MEF18 LSO Hackathon: 29 - 31 October 2018 in conjunction with MEF18 in Los Angeles, USA
- IETF 103 Hackathon: 3-4 November 2018, the weekend before IETF in Bangkok
In addition to this, here are some of the other interesting hackathons coming up that we're aware of:
- Border Session: Hack the Planet: 13-16. June, The Hague, The Netherlands
- NANOG 73 Hackathon: Sunday, 24 June 2018, Denver, Colorado, USA
