Here are some impressions from our 5th Open Tech Meetup on Thursday – our first sponsored OTM. After some initial acoustic issues (lessons were learned ;D), our program featured @chrisd who gave us an impressive introduction to the network of WOBCOM and the challenges faced when deploying whiteboxes with rtbrick. @9er discussed the planned network for BelWü and their current difficulties with procurement. Lastly, @FestplattenSchnitzel and Jonas shared practical advice on how TU Dresden handles traffic monitoring and the insights Matthias’s Research Group extracts from it.

The evening went late into the night, and it was an absolute blast to welcome so many network engineers, enthusiasts, and supporters of a healthy local Internet in Dresden.

We are already looking forward to the next Internet event in Dresden, which we organize together with DENOG and SachsenGigaBit. More info here: https://www.denog.de/de/events/meetup-2026-04.html

Die Open-Source-Community traf sich in Chemnitz und wir waren wieder dabei! In unserem Workshop haben wir Linux-Enthusiasten ins echte Internet losgelassen. Wir haben 16 AS-Nummern für unsere Teilnehmer bei der RIPE registriert. Jeder Teilnehmer hat von uns einen kleinen Linux-Router erhalten und konnte damit verschiedene Rollen (ORG, ISP, IXP) im Internet nachstellen. So konnten wir die grundlegende Funktionsweise des Internets simulieren. Es entstand ein großartiger Kabelsalat, viele BGP-Peerings und zahlreiche nette Gespräche zwischen den Teilnehmern.

Die Workshopmaterialien findet ihr hier: https://workshop.routerkit.net

Zusätzlich hat @m4rc3l einen sehr interessanten Vortrag über IfState und dessen NixOS-Integration gehalten. Sehr empfehlenswert – die Aufzeichnung seines Vortrags findet ihr unter https://media.ccc.de/v/clt26-321-deklarative-netzwerkkonfiguration-mit-nixos

Wir freuen uns schon auf die CLT 2027.
