[afnog] Hackathon

[Loganaden Velvindron]

Hi,

After AIS in Botswana, I was wondering if there might be some interest
to organize a Hackathon for the next meeting in Mauritius.

In order for it to work, we would need

1) A room with Internet and stable electricity (3 days, non-stop, 10
hours of intense coding)
2) Low noise level, and restricted room access so that participants can focus.
3) People familiar with coding in languages such as Python/Perl and C,
and who are willing to spare some time ahead of the hackathon to brush
up their skills, so that they can hit the hackathon with some kind of
code. In my experience organizing various hackathons in Mauritius,
it's better to have an idea ahead of time, and already having some
code written before coming so that you can quickly iron out the bugs,
and improve code steadily.

TOPIC: DNS, DNSSEC, BGP, SMTPS, TLS, <insert your idea here>

We would need at least 3 hackers as a start.
