Wow that's a GREAT introduction Charlton. I welcome you warmly in this community and I tell you that even though we don't use C++, OpenWISP can offer you a lot of opportunities for growing your skills at 360°. For example, we don't have any machine learning algorithm in our system yet, but if the community keeps growing at this rate I think it's entirely possible someone will have the need to introduce ML algorithms for predicting traffic spikes in their network, or predicting outages, or things like that. We are not at that stage yet, but your contribution can surely have a positive impact.
