This is good! I really appreciate it when younger people get attention for actually also knowing things like this.
If I recall correctly according to Mark Kosters at ARIN, I was the first person to successfully setup delegated RPKI in ARIN (in production) at the start of 2020 at age 18. This is also why I think some of the discussions going on in NANOG atm are potentially quite good to have. I have seen many of the younger people in this scene (including Nate) on Discord with regards to these kinds of topics. And while Discord is not at all a replacement for mailing lists in my opinion, I think it's important to realize that it (and other chat based things like it) have their place, especially among the younger groups. -Cynthia On Mon, Mar 22, 2021, 22:26 NANOG News <n...@nanog.org> wrote: > We’d be hard pressed to name many teenagers as thoughtful, curious, and > open to new experiences as Nate Sales.
