    • Impressions from the Internet Architecture Board E-Impact Workshop

      The IAB ran an online workshop in December 2022 to begin to explore and understand the environmental impacts of the Internet. The discussion was active, and it will take time to summarise and produce the workshop report – but the topic is important, so we wanted to share some early impressions of the outcomes.

    IETF Hackathon in Chicago

    • Jari ArkkoIETF Chair

    11 Jan 2017

    The essence of the IETF is that it is a place for people who both write code and specs.

    The IETF motto is “Running Code and Rough Consensus”. With that in mind, a big part of our work is helping and encouraging for that code writing to happen. This happens at many levels: the IETF Hackathon focuses on open source projects and Internet technology, the CodeSprint is about IETF’s own tools and web services, interoperability events test specific pieces of technology, and so on.

    We will be hosting another IETF Hackathon at IETF-98 which will take place in Chicago at the end of March. The Chicago Hackathon will run from Saturday March 25 to Sunday March 26, but will surely have follow-ups during the rest of the week. We will also get to demonstrate some of the results in the Bits-n-Bites later in the week.

    So do considering joining this event. The signup page is here. You can keep up to date by subscribing to the Hackathon mailing list.

    Hackathon is free to attend and open to the public.

    And remember that what you do at these events is up to you. You decide what is the coolest tech thing that you need to implement! So don’t be afraid to add your own project or team!

    I’ll say that again: add your own topic to the wiki, and work on it!

    See Charles Eckel’s mail and the wiki for the details.

    I would also like to offer IETF-98 as a place for various interop and test events. We typically have several at every IETF. Many people travel to the IETF anyway, so it is a convenient place to spend some time testing. Let us know if you are planning to do some testing, we may in some cases also be able to help with rooms, networking, and help publicise your event to other networkers!
