[OpenIPMap] A long-overdue update on the status of openipmap

<pok>,<pok> ... is this mic still on?

First of all, my apologies for lack of updates on openipmap.

I was asked to prioritise making the openipmap software publicly
available. That and other tasks took a bit more wallclock time than
expected, so not all features I had hoped to have available by RIPE69
will be there
:(

Currently the openipmap code lives here:
https://github.com/emileaben/django-openipmap

(django, because the prototype is based on
https://www.djangoproject.com/ )

Because it's non-trivial to get that installed and working, I created a
provisioning mechanism that should alleviate that (based on VirtualBox,
Vagrant and Ansible), so folks who want to develop on openipmap can
install an instance in a virtual machine. That code lives here:
https://github.com/emileaben/openipmap-provision

The URL for openipmap has changed to:
https://marmot.ripe.net/openipmap/
and uses the codebase that is on git.

To test developing with this in place, I added a couple of requested
features to the traceroute-map:

## Permalink features
Ability to specify RIPE Atlas measurement_ids in query-url, example:
https://marmot.ripe.net/openipmap/tracemap?msm_ids=1767380

Or multiple msm_ids:
https://marmot.ripe.net/openipmap/tracemap?msm_ids=1767381_1767380

(ie. separated by '_')

(these are examples of probes in IE, tracing to a dest in IE)

## Turn suggestions (red dots) off in map:
Sometimes the red dots (ie. suggestions by the system itself) are just
way off and annoying. Since we now have sufficient baseline crowdsourced
data, turning these suggestions off on the map actually allows for
pretty decent traceroute geoloc already (thanks to all who have
contributed this far!). So I added a 'show_suggestions=0' option to turn
these 'red dots' off:

https://marmot.ripe.net/openipmap/tracemap?msm_ids=1767381_1767380&show_suggestions=0

## Click on source
Click on a source (RIPE Atlas probe) will pop-up traceroute(s) of that
probe if there are any.

I'll do a short status update at the upcoming RIPE meeting
(https://ripe69.ripe.net) in the mat-wg.

The next thing I'd like to work on with this is supporting better bulk
import of data. Having had contact with the IXmaps and CAIDA teams
that are also doing related work, I'm hoping to make it be possible to
do more/better bulk input, without significantly lowering data accuracy.

Please let us know what you think of these features when you try them out.

cheers,
Emile
