From YouTube: Tutorial: Newcomers’ Overview

Description

This tutorial (04:30-05:30 UTC on 17 November 2019) provided introductions to a number of aspects of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

A

B

Okay, so I would like to welcome you to the IETF newcomers overview. This is a presentation to get you started in your IETF week. I am Karen O'donoghue and part of the education team here, and we are definitely interested in any feedback that you have on this. So at the end of this you'll see a survey link. We would appreciate any comments that you have also I wanted to point out.

B

It'll show up in the presentation as well what we do also have a newcomers feedback session on Thursday morning and the other thing that you will probably get I, don't know if it's gone out yet or not is Greg wood. Who is the who works on the ITF website, is interested in getting any new comer feedback on your experience with the website. Did it provide you, the information that was useful to you?

B

What suggestions do you have, and so there will be an email going out to all the newcomers with a request, if you're interested in and having a short sit-down session or chat with Greg, he will be asking for people to sign up for that, and we would. We would really appreciate it. One of the challenges we've had with the website is, you know, for all of, for those of us who've been around for a while.

B

It's we're not really the target audience, and so what's useful to us is not necessarily that so without any further ado, rich Saul's we'll begin the presentation today and thank you all for coming.

C

Hi good morning, hi good morning, my name is rich Saul's pronouns are he/him I me mind whatever so I'll be talking that says the session lasts about an hour. It's broken into three parts, the first to some background. The second is what the week is like real world and then the third is some additional resources.

C

How many people four? Is this? Their first IETF meeting, whoa? Okay, great? How many people are already on some working group mailing lists? Okay, thanks all right, so this will be hopefully real-world experience. I am here through the week I'll be at the Thursday morning. New members debrief feel free to come to that there are.

C

There are other people around who you can also talk to. We have a number of activities that I'll go over shortly, so first off welcome. This is great. We have a very large crowd this time, comparatively and I. Think it's on the order of 200. First timers looks like most of you are in the room, which is nice, so welcome we're glad to have you and we hope you will contribute and continue to contribute.

C

Every meeting every session at every IETF meeting and the IETF meets three times a year starts with these next two slides. So this is the very first session. Probably this is the first time you'll see it. There are two and by Wednesday they sort of rush to them by Friday. Everyone goes ok. You've already seen this before.

C

Let's get to all the work, so this this this slide identifies the policies and when you sign in an attendance list, you're acknowledging that you understand the note well, it is called that note well because it means hey note, well that these are the policies under which we operate, and if this is a reminder of what they are, the fundamental ones are. If you say anything, you should know that it is public.

C

This is not a closed door. Industry working group form public in that the meetings are recorded, often streamed live on the web, and they are archived on various video channels. It does a youtube channel, personal information. We try to respect PII of what's called PII personal, identifying information when you signed in you got one of two colored lanyards, the blue says you can take my picture, there's a red one. That says please don't photograph me things like that.

C

These are the specific policies. Again, you don't have to read this to understand, but the important part is the acronym BC P stands for best current practice, and this is an indirect layer on top of the RFC series and talk about the RFC series for those who don't know later, on BC p, nine points to a specific thing which is RFC 2612, it's not but whatever it is.

C

If the process gets changed and 2612 becomes obsoleted by RFC 50 to 75 I'm, just making these numbers out of the air, the BC p9 will stay the same. So it's you know, think of it as a symbolic link. Any problem, computer science can be solved by an extra layer of indirection. This is an example. These are the main policies that are appropriate. It's at some point. You know worth skimming if you're trying to avoid jet lag or you're trying to cover from jet lag. You know skim through these things, newcomers activities.

C

We have many activities planned for this this week and as we do in previous weeks, and we will in the future the tutorial you're getting off to a good start. That's here and now, usually there are two presenters. We split it one one two three or one two and then the first speaker again, but unfortunately, this time you're stuck with me for the full hour forty-five minutes.

C

Quick connections is also this afternoon. That I believe is in the Fairmount ballroom Lobby there'll be little table, set up, they'll be experienced, IETF errs there, myself, Karen I, think a couple of many people and it's sort of like speed dating go to a table. Talk about you know, introduce yourself or get introduced or will introduce ourselves. What are you looking for? What kind of areas are you interested in? Oh this person over there is, you know, he's very good that person over there is really important about. You know routing an ipv6.

C

To pick an example. The person running the meeting guy named Paul routers. Will you know every five minutes will say time and you move off to another table the intent. Is you get a brief moment? People get a brief moment to under you know, to meet a couple of old hands Greybeards. If you will meet some peers, who are also among the first timers or newcomers, and then you move on and so on, and then that leads there's a short break and that leads into the opening reception.

C

There's also a program called the IETF guides mentoring. We used to call it ITF mentors. We used to call it ie TF guys we couldn't figure it out. So now we call it guides mentoring, you'll, probably next year be mentoring. Guides. Who knows these? Are you get us? You can sign up and it's off the newcomers link I believe on the website. You can sign up and say: I speak. You know.

C

Here's the languages, I speak I'm interested in these particular technology areas and we try to find a volunteer who is available to you for the whole week. I, don't participate in that I'm, not sure of many more details other than that there's a newcomers dinner Monday that is not yeah. That's a pay! Your own I believe it's twenty-five dollars, Singapore to joined, and that's purely newcomers a chance to meet some of your people here in the room or the 75. So who aren't here, as Karen mentioned, there's a feedback session that'll be Thursday morning.

C

All of these items are listed on the agenda, um so you can find the specifics about details and I mean that's where you can tell us: hey, you guys did really good I was or wow I was totally unprepared by Tuesday I couldn't keep my eyes open whatever it takes. Whatever your information, you have, we take feedback very seriously in that we really listen to it. We really encourage it like we don't not. Everybody participates in the surveys and so on.

C

So if five people say you need to talk about this, some more, we will revise these slides and make sure we talk about it. Some more next time I should mention. The IETF definition of a newcomer is five or fewer meetings which, basically, since there are three meetings a year, that means you know for the first two years you can, if you'd like consider yourself to be a newcomer, feel free to come to any of the kind of any of the newcomer events.

C

Okay, preparing, so what's a little more detail about what I'm gonna talk about? Can someone in the back row raise their hand just make sure I can I'm being heard? Thank you. So the goal here is to present information that is useful to you, starting at the end of this session running through the week Friday afternoon, as you attend your first first ish ITF session, as you move from being involved on some mailing lists to day-to-day.

C

You know active participation in the in room as we call it to maybe going back and then joining some mailing lists and so on. We want to teach you how to make the most out of the meeting it's sort of the unique the ITF is a unique experience.

C

Unlike you know, John with one I Triple, E w3c or whatever. This doesn't talk about the history of the ITF. We used to talk about that a lot mm-hmm. Nobody really cares right. The ITF is 32 years old, I believe many of the people who roam the halls and attend the meetings have been here for all 30 years. It's pretty impressive and talk about some of the impacts. From that long term involvement there is a YouTube channel as I mentioned.

C

Okay, so now talk about the broader standards ecosystem where the ITF lives. The mission and I'll just read this because it's short and it's really sort of a unusual kind of mission. Our mission, the IETF mission, is to make the internet work better. That's the short, very, very short summary: we want to make the internet work better. How do we do that? We will produce high quality, relevant technical documents in English. That's the language of the ITF notice. It says technical documents and not standards.

C

The ITF doesn't produce standards in the way you might think of ISO C or ISO C++, or your local building codes determine you know how much steel you need to put in a high-rise. We don't do anything like that. None of it is enforced by regulation.

C

The way it's enforced is we. In doctor we build documents that influence the way people design, use and manage the net okay. So it's purely a matter of well. This is the way everybody's doing it. If you want to do it with everybody else, here's what you should do, you'll, sometimes cereal, depending on the working group, will often hear the phrase we're not the protocol police.

C

If you do and if you're writing a web server- and you understand you have get- and you spell it with lowercase nobody's gonna come work with you. If you change get to take, nobody will complain, but your code won't work with the browser all right. So that's the goal you want. If you want to interoperate and work with the rest of the world out there, you know, follow the RFC s, they are written in English, they are, which means it's a human language which means there are ambiguities.

C

We have an errata system where we can put where people can point out errors Corrections, we revised standards, so we had HTTP 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 2 and now we're developing HTTP 3. For example, TLS 101 1, 1, 2, 1 3, it's hard TLS didn't want to change.

C

The first number HTTP has no qualms 1 2 3 1.1 1, whatever the mission of the IETF is described in an RFC 39:35 as you attend meetings throughout the week, you'll hear people say things like: oh you know, that's really not compliant with RFC, 26 12 and the rest of the room will go hmm yeah. That's the trait go. What the hell is 26 12 and you might have to look it up.

C

I'm long I'm like that, I can't I'm bad enough with names that alone RFC numbers I'm, always impressed when people can just spout off these four digit numbers or now five digit numbers and everybody instantly knows what it means.

C

So what is the ITF, where standards development organization notice that the previous slide didn't say, standards? It says technical documents, but we recognize that what we do are develop standards, no implementation force behind them. Other people pick them up and publish them as standards. We no problems with that. Our documents are openly available freely, reusable referenceable, its self selected in that anybody wants to join. All you have to do is sign up to the mailing lists that you're interested in there are about a hundred and thirty groups.

C

They're about a hundred and fifty mailing lists read, participate, right, mail and so on. We don't do formal voting, for example, many national standards bodies or the International like I, so each country gets a vote or each company gets a vote. Each member in w3c gets a vote. We just do things by what's rough called rough consensus and I'll talk about that. More detail. Talk about humming, which is kind of a strange thing and we'll do an example of that there is no formal government role.

C

The US government used to host what was the ITF and host what was I can and the number of thority those are all spun off as separate things. The ietf is now a nonprofit organization.

C

You can donate money and get a tax benefit if you're in the u.s. we're driven by market adoption. So, unlike some other organizations, you can't come in and make the ietf standardize what you're working on to develop market some others are what's called pay for play. You pay the membership to work on a standard four of whatever you want, we're focused on the internet and we're bottom-up. In other words, the people who are in this room and on the mailing lists are the people who determine what the IETF produces.

C

There's no arching. Oh, there are some general architecture boards and technical reviews, pardon me, but it's the people working. You know in the trenches, as the phrase goes, who do that kind of stuff and we'd like to think we're pretty unique. The ITF is divided into eight areas. Seven areas this is called an eye chart in that you know people sitting in the room there you're not expected. Well. This is kind of legible you're not expected to read and understand all of it take a picture.

C

The slides are available online, as shown on the first slide, but everything falls into an area. My particular focus is on security, but routing how the packets get from you know, one gateway to another gateway.

C

Internet is defining the IP and TCP protocols. Transport is the congestion control. What happens when the receiving side says? Oh I can't take all your packets anymore. You know. Buffer bloat is a common thing right when you see when you're trying to watch a video, and you see that little circle going round and round and round congestion, that's the kind of thing that the transport works on applications in real time. Art is things like HDPE WebSockets, so on for the most part, you don't have to care.

C

You can think just look at the working groups but understand that in the organization there's the working groups feeding up into the there's the steering committee on top, as I mentioned, we worked by consensus. The ITF loves this quote. It was by Dave Clark MIT, professor one of the first IETF developers for a while. He was like the chief protocol scientist when it was a DARPA project. We reject Kings presidents in voting. It's everyone, you know for themselves, rough consensus and running code. That's the important part rough consensus means everything has to be addressed.

C

It doesn't have to be accommodated. We can disagree but and running code. You know the IETF over the past couple of years has added hackathons the weekend before so yesterday and today and that wins.

C

You know if someone says Ikey, this is completely unemployment, Abal and three other people say it's completely: unemployment alone, it's unlikely to get evolved as an IETF standard, spec, humming I've talked about the session chair in this, for example, I am the chair of this session sitting at the front of the room, we're responsible for the building or talking about what consent determining what consensus is. Every working group has a mailing list and the mailing lists or where the official work is done.

C

So when we say oh, we have consensus in the room, they will then say: okay, we'll take it back to the list to confirm which means someone one of the chairs will post this a you know short description. We decided that we need eight bytes for the session identifier. Does anybody disagree, so you know discuss it on the mailing list or confirm and so on.

C

Of course, there's an RFC that talks about consensus and humming ITF culture, passionate smart, vocal people, which is to say you know, networking nerds people love t-shirts, people get free t-shirts and many people walk around with previous IETF t-shirts as a badge of honor. It's fine just casually just comfortably you know business casual hotel, casual made of dress whatever is appropriate. I would not recommend walking. You know barefoot speedos, topless things like that. The key point is what we care about is technical excellence. We recognize that many non-native speakers, many people are shy.

C

Many people have other concerns or issues might prevent them from speaking up. But as long as you can make a technical technical contribution, that's good that advances the cause of what the ITF does I mentioned. Before some people have been coming for the past thirty years they meet it's like family reunions. Right, hey, you know, hey Mike, how you doing Bob, you know whatever I see Karen. You know three times a year more often than I see my sister's.

C

Okay, some of the alphabet soup. This is the broader ecosystem of the ITF. The thing that looks like a cell over here on the right, I'm left you're right, that's the eye. That's the ietf. What you think of is the ietf each of the areas and there's three bubbles there. Those normal should be seven or eight has within it the working groups. Every working group is assigned to an area. Each area has two or three area directors.

C

Area directors are responsible for monitoring the progress of the working groups, creating new working groups, creating birds of a feather sessions to determine whether or not a group should be created, and so on. The area, directors all collectively form the steering group internet, Engineering, steering group iesg. That's the technical leadership of the ITF. It's appointed there were overlapping two-year terms every year. New people about a third of the iesg is reappointed.

C

The black box is the nonprofit corporate identity, for example, when the ITF sets up arrangements to have a meeting in a hotel, somebody has to put down the pile somebody has to sign the hotel contracts and somebody has to make all the logistics arrangements, for example, dealing with the live stream and video recording fine folks in the back of the room. um You know you can't just have a thousand people show up and say I'd like a room, please.

C

At the same time, oh and by the way I want 30 breakout session rooms, it just doesn't work the IRS G internet research, steering group, a parallel organization, they're trying not to deliver standards but to discuss and promote research. There's a crypto forum group. There is a networking protocols group there is a privacy impacts of ie2 internet protocols group the IAB is sort of an oversight of both of those things. The IRS G in the IES gene, the RC Editor, is a paid set of professionals who do the final document?

C

Production Ayana internet assigned numbers authority is also paid. They do professionals who do things like OD NS goes on port 53 HTTP goes on port 80 and here are some extensions defined for TLS. They just keep the records of what all the numbers are, so they don't overlap. I just talked about who does what?

C

Okay, now, for the fun part I'll talk about what the week is like.

C

There are many things going on the IETF. The iesg among they're, over included in their oversight, is organizing the overall meetings we have about a hundred and thirty working groups about 80 of them meet and any given meeting. There are birds of a feather it's from the partly saying birds of a feather flock together.

C

That's where we get people who have like interest to decide. Do we want to proceed with a formal working group? There is a working group, some Monday on the mathematical mesh there's another working group on web packaging, which is sort of think of it. As Google's amp project evolved and I forget, there are three or four other working groups as well offs as well: IRT F meets at the same time. They have open sessions. Crypto sessions I mentioned those the ones interest to me. There is a plenary which is this time.

C

It's just a management plenary plenary is a Latin word. That means altogether. Nothing else is scheduled opposite the plenary. It's in the ballroom and it'll be like an hour two hours of here's. What our budgets, like any questions for the iesg, any questions for the IAB. A lot of people sit in the back of the room and make snide comments to each other. On a you know: Jireh back-channel, hackathons and code sprints, developing work on the standards or on the tooling that's the weekend before there are social events this year.

C

This meeting I forget it's at some fancy new. You know high-tech park tutorials this and what the other one is deep, dives we're not having one this year, there's lunchtime sessions, some other social things tonight is the hot RFC hot request. For huh you know, topics people get 10 minutes to talk about something, that's interest and then it that's. It move on to the next one move on to the next one. So you can see things that aren't currently IETF activities. That might be in the past.

C

I've picked up two or three of the talks and brought them into Acme the working group I chair, so it can be a source of interesting. You know it's the advanced R&D technology, if you will side meetings open time every morning this session this week is set aside for unscheduled meetings. Sometimes you sleep late. Sometimes you just get together with colleagues for breakfast and talk, and then the working groups actually started 10:00.

C

There are other activities not on the agenda, hallway meetings, which means often at the end of the session people gather outside talk about something or capture the you know talk to the working group chair or other people who presented the tutorials are in different from working groups. In that it's usually just the chair who talks is in me. We have an app it's worth getting. If you go to the place, you know Play, Store or Apple Store ITF app. It lists all the schedule that lets you highlight sessions that you're interested in I.

C

Think then, IBM Apple one is integrated with the calendar, the Android one, not the agenda across from the registration desk. There are bulletin boards where updates to the agenda. Are posted that'll also remind you where the rooms are, but you know get the app, sometimes I, guess again this year we're having paper handouts of the sessions working group? Okay, this is the main point. This is why you are all here. You got sponsor to your employees paid you to come here. This is where all the work is done.

C

The rooms look like this there's somebody speaking people running the meeting. The chairs are sitting here. There's mics, you see, there's one in the middle of the room there.

C

If people have questions you go to the mic and so on, the sessions are streamed by the fine folks of you know, line speed, meet echo they're, always sitting there in the back of the room, often there's a pink box around the mic here so that, if you are presenting, you know where to stand so that you can be beamed out over the internet or record it on YouTube meet. Echo is for online remote participation. That's at the far the smaller screen over there on the right.

C

When people want to talk, you'll see them come up to the mic. The chair has a handy red button that they can push and recognize someone, and then they get to talk, just as if it were somebody local talking down birds of a feather, more informal procedure. Working group they'll be often at the reception. There will be poster boards scattered around the room about the different boss. People running them have signs that say.

C

Asked me about my boss: I gave my sorry pins I gave my pin to the guys actually the technical lead of it and so on both meets once sometimes it meets twice and then, at the end of that, with the area directors in the and the bath folks determine if there is consensus to do, you know, create a working group.

C

I RTF is officially part of the IAB. The oversight group focused on research. They meet at the same time. Of course, there's an RFC, 75 or 18 one of the things they do. Is they present a networking prize. The one of the one or two I think sometimes it's been three of the best papers on networking. How I can fool the router into sending all my packets to you know India, for example, they get sponsored to come to the IETF to present their paper, it's kind of cool stuff.

C

It's a way to get some academic involvement applied. Networking research workshop it met last IETF. It meets annually in conjunction with the IETF first two days. It's very it's part of the ACM Association for Computing Machinery, very much a academic organization, even more so than the IEEE RTF. Think I RTF is Advanced. Research & Development in an engineering organization and our W is actually academic.

C

No cost free to attend highly worthwhile, presumably it'll be at the next at IETF. 108 I forget what that is. Think California.

C

The plenary as I mentioned, take the ballroom up and this time there's no technical part of the plenary. It's just administrative and management of the organization's themselves.

C

Hackathons, the hackathon meets Saturday and Sunday no cost if you had signed up or next time, if you want to come and work on something you sign up, you get yet another t-shirt. Free food, I think about two. Three hundred people are the current one. This year there will be a small reception with the best results of the hackathon. You know, prizes hand it out and so on. The way it works is there's a wiki page where you sign up for topics.

C

Partner, you sign up for topics or you join, or you sign up to work on existing projects.

C

There have been a lot of interrupts sessions, so TL s1 3 was that the hackathon for a number of times quic, is currently at the hack of found DNS privacy DNS over TLS things like that. Are there networking in social events the ITF attendees list, 106 attendees mailing list right now it's about to switch over from. What's the best way from the airport, through customs, to the hotel, and now the main discussion will be hey, anybody have a social ticket, can I buy a social ticket? Can I sell a social ticket?

C

This one was from Singapore two years ago. Was the aquarium I forget the name of the park pitot at this time. The picture on the right yeah right, that's from the ITF sisters, that is an organization of people who identify as women identify as female. They have a social lunch which anyone you know who feels appropriate can sign up. They also have activities during the week that are all listed in the agenda.

C

More side meetings ongoing experiments with the agenda to find more unstructured time. Some working groups don't like constrained in meeting and think it's all waste a time, it's better to have more hallway conversations more one-on-one, more sit down together in small study groups so and I mentioned the tutorials. No deep dive this year. This meeting and the hot RFC this evening, ok meeting adequate etiquette behavior when you're attending a working session. You general, you probably know for the most part, what working groups you're interested in you.

D

C

You're here it helps to read the documents beforehand: behave respectfully, tolerantly, talk, listen enjoy yourself, get some sleep, that's a silly thing, but the meetings you know the day starts at you know: breakfast. Is it or eight or nine side meetings you may or may not have any the first time around, and then the sessions run until 6:00 or 7:00 at night and then the barb off start, which is a informal gathering. Let's go to a bar. In the past, the IETF has drained hotels of all the beer they have.

C

Maybe not here, but you.

D

C

And that runs you know until 11 o'clock at night, I learned this really great finished drinking game where you sing a song and say new everybody drinks and by the second or third round you stop singing you just say new when everybody drinks, but it's fun and you know you're working with colleagues. So it's not just you know drinking to get drunk. But if there's a lot of technical discussion going on the whole day is involved with technology and protocols and networking and it extends through dinner and through the night.

C

So even if you're, not physically tired or even if you're, not physically jet-lagged your mind is exhausted. I guarantee it get some sleep behave respectfully and tolerantly.

C

We try to all be adults and there's some things about a code of conduct that I'll mention later on Newark. The IETF is always looking for areas where we can help make the internet better.

C

If there's some idea of some protocol that makes sense to evolve, we do less well with api's, but we, but if their protocols or work where you want to communicate over the internet, doing something you know: videoconferencing, multi conferencing, that stuff is WebSocket space. Here's how to do it! I'll just skip over this one, since it's unlikely to have partly unlikely to have. You know like to have new ideas coming forward, the slides we gave a tutorial on it one year ago in bang talk session, etiquette, okay, that's yo! Who will co-chair back me?

C

He won't be here. You didn't make it over from Israel this time, speak directly into the mic. You'll often hear the phrase, especially if you're not used to it. People go eat. The mic eat that mic and.

B

That means you know you gotta.

C

Get really close, the mics here are good in other. In other venues, they've been not so good, say your name every time you speak part of the reason. The main reason why that's done is there? Are somebody typing it? So it's visible online so that people who are watching remotely say via medical and what the livestream you know the live streaming. They know who's talking after a while, you can tell there are certain people like and people will go, you know by Tuesday will be yeah.

B

C

Saul's, Akamai and I want to say that, and you know it's hard. It's also to encourage. You know to you, have to acknowledge and take credit blame or be associated with the things that are said at the mic blue sheets, it's on blue sheet of paper. Historically, it was always on blue sheets.

C

We just like tradition, so we kept it you sign in and when you sign in, you agree to follow the practices of the note well, which you all remember, was the first two slides or slide staying for technical questions and comments are always welcome. Not, and that means not like you know, that's really a stupid idea, but have you considered that maybe eight bits for a network is not wide enough?

C

That's a better way of saying it. On the other hand, people have known each other for decades, so there will be people who come to the mic and go because I've known you for 20 years. That's really stupid. You should do it this way, don't listen to them, don't take their. You know, don't take that behavior is the way to go. Every working group has a back to back channel side channel instant messaging jabber mention that in a little more detail later on resources, people, the key people are Secretariat.

C

This is the pay the paid staff who handles all of the all of the logistics see picture of them there. They wear these blue polo shirts. They run they're, often seen at the registration desk swear. You picked up your badge they'll run around the meetings. If you have any problem with logistics or you like you're completely lost, they will answer you on Friday, as the meeting begins to wind down, they all change into Hawaiian shirts, but they're. Very nice people.

C

Also, we have the RFC editor series and the IANA staff, the assigned numbers, those determined. You know those keep. The registry of like I, said DNS runs on 53 SSH runs on 22 mail runs on 25, say: I got two digit numbers: I can't do for you um a notable thing about them. In addition to being friendly and helpful, they will have desks in the same registration area and throughout the week they have candy.

C

So if you need a quick pick-me-up grab, a piece of chocolate or sour tart or whatever they have Jay Daly is our new executive director. He is paid staff runs. You know the one who signs the checks on the direction of the board negotiates with hotels. Does all of the kind of stuff you've probably seen some emails from him talking about who the hosts are for the subsequent meetings coming up, I think with Cisco mentioned to do Bangkok. Next year he comes from I sock.

C

Sorry, the the DNS side of the house, I can couldn't think of this term. So we know he understands. You know the technology, it's a good guy, the Ombuds team. We try to be relaxed friendly and welcoming to everyone if you have concerns or issues or feeling, pressured or uncomfortable or made to feel or see someone else being made to feel uncomfortable. Please find one of these people. If you can't find one of these people find them helpful, Secretariat staff and talk to them.

C

Allisyn, Pete and I just grew up like in her name. Sorry they're all light long-term ietf people and they will make sure your issues and concerns are addressed and handled, badges and dots. I, don't think we've done it yeah.

C

We did a couple, so I have a blue dot, which means I chair a working group, the color codes, and most of these things you won't care about you'll care about the blue dot for somebody who's a chair, and if you look in the upper left corner of the upper right corner, there's a smiley face, I didn't see, many of those I mean they're, not doing it, but that normally means come and ask me questions about the IETF I'm happy to answer your questions.

C

If you don't see those anybody with a dot should be able or helpful or willing to answer your questions because they didn't they're in a leadership position as part of what leaders do. Oh.

C

Ribbons there's a sore ribs at the bottom. You know you probably got or seen the newcomers attendees there's also nowadays, a jar of ribbons and markers to the side and people can write their own jokes and paste them to the bottom of their label by the end of the week, and certainly by the after your second or third IETF.

C

There are no funny jokes, it's just you know same ones over and over newcomers resources, the DAO of the ITF, what it means to have rough consensus and running code deliberately modeled after you know the Buddha philosophical document of how the ITF works. This newcomers page there'll, be a newcomers page for every IETF.

C

So on tutorials.

C

More meeting resources, there's a wiki, the wiki before the meeting is usually done, monitored, especially by local people. Who will tell you the best way to get from the airport to the hotel? How to use the MRT in this case, there's a first-time attendees mailing list, if you're not on it, consider it joining it. The ITF sisters, as I said, is a support group for women. People who present this female women and there's other mailing lists the social lists travel companions. We have a slight lightweight program for spouses, significant others.

C

You know social activities for them to keep them busy, while you're busy nerding out.

C

All the information, so there are two websites listed here, the top one and the one on the right, the data tracker, or also known as DTI etf org. That's the site where you'll find everything about the working groups, everything about the drafts, everything about the RFC's who's come now who's car and all the mailing lists. Every mailing list has a charter that says you will. You know by the end of first quarter.

C

Will do this by the end of second quarter will do that, but in the third quarter will do that no working group ever meets its deadlines milestones. They always get revised, they're the phrases it's aspirational, but DT dot, IETF toward org, slash, WG, slash and then the working group name TLS, W, ugh DNS, op whatever, and that will bring you to a page that looks like the one you see here.

C

Multiple tabs talk about this specific overall working group stuff, the tab default startup tab is all the documents that are working and you can see when it started. How many pages it is what the status is, if it's still a draft, if it's been waiting for, you know, review and so on. The tools page links at the bottom page pages to the left is of less importance. This is for folks who want to know well, which RFC sited the most by any other RFC or where can I find tooling on how to turn.

C

You know, markdown or XML, into an RFC document that stuff's on the tools page more and more people are using are more and more people are migrating from using the tools to using github which we're developing better tooling, for if you're, if you know so, you can often many groups now are putting their documents on github periodically taking a snapshot and posting it to the data tracker for official IETF release.

C

So github is like the author is working copies and people can make pull requests and raise issues on github they get addressed or they get delayed, or that discussed in the mail in the working group, email and then a draft is posted. You know periodically to the data tracker remote participation to find media call folks attended to see I face-to-face attendance is not required only if you want to serve on the nominating committee, but you had to have attended a mold out of five meetings to get to know people we support remote attendants completely.

C

It generally works seamlessly these days. You can see the remote stream over there on the far right me. Deco is a tool it's browser-based, so on it works really well the network. If you haven't already, there are multiple networks. This you know encrypted legacy, ipv6 ipv4, the name and password for all of them is IETF.

C

The only reason to have a name and password is so we can encrypt it to keep private, keep your privacy. It's really fast. It's free in this hotel. You know the hope. The Swiss hotel on the Fairmont in general, its free in the main meeting hotels, you'll, never find Hotel. Internet is fast and is cheap as it is the ITF meeting um local hosts and the sponsors you know bring in equipment and donate it if you've noticed you might see.

C

For example, if you go to web search engines right now, it might think that you're in Zurich or Prague, because the IP addresses haven't been updated to geolocate properly it's the same equipment that was in Prague back in March, there's quiet space called the terminal room for historical reasons. There are no terminals, there's power, wired, Ethernet connectivity, there's a help desk and a printer in the registration area.

C

If you need to print off your boarding, pass right on Thursday, that's what everybody does jabber every working group, so DNS op, the DNS Operations Group- will have a jabber room at group chat at DNS off at Jabra, ETA org, you just you know, search for jabber, client, there's a number of free ones. There's a number of phone ones available. You have to get an account on a server somewhere and then you can participate. One of the things at every meeting is a jabber scribe will write down in the room the name of who's.

C

Speaking at the mic, the page number of the slides that they're on so people who are remote can follow along. If somebody remotely says I want to say something at the mic, they type it the jabber scrub, gets to cut to the front of the line and say relaying for pollo outers. This DNS record is invalid. Whatever the comment is.

C

Above all, above anything else enjoy the fireworks we actually had fireworks in Prague four years ago, two years ago, that was a really nice social event. The one this year is supposed to be pretty nice too lots of smiling faces lots of enthusiasm. You can see the guy in the blue t-shirt. There is making a point to one of his colleagues.

C

It is pretty amazing and pretty unusual time it's not like a regular conference conference, the work that we do and the quality and the breadth of the work we do will depend on you as well as everybody else. Who's here, I think, is about a thousand people. 1,100. Those kind of stats will be presented at the plenary.

C

Have fun it's a good time be nice. You know, fill your head full of lots of cool technology and come away with wow. I really want to do this. This isn't this and then slow down and figure out. You know what's actually manageable questions your feedback, the link on the slide title is wrong. It's off by one. It should be 106. That's what the survey the link in the main body of the slide is correct.

C

There is a team at U for educational. We run the Karen and I are the co-chairs. We run these tutorials, we have a chair, we organized a lunch for the working group chairs. We meet every session that talked about what's new and talked about other issues, we helped do the deep dives and someone like that. We're very much interested in what feedback you have to give one session.

C

We got like three people feedback and then I think the past now we're running between one and two dozen people actually fill out the survey and it's not a contest, but I always look to see if we got better ratings than any of the other groups in the ITF. So be honest, you don't have to tough things up. Oh.

C

Okay, so let me mention humming, there's a number of reasons why we hum, for example, you can't look around and see who you know. If we raise hands and say you know, okay, how many people found this worthwhile. You know you could be intimidated or coerced into voting for someone else or not encouraged to vote the same way. Somebody else does you can't see who's really humming, you can't.

C

We want a rough consensus of the room. We want to know how most of the people the room feel, and it's really hard to you can't hum loudly I mean probably here at the mic. I can hum loudly than any of you out there, but you know so. The way humming works is we'll say: okay, we're gonna, do a consensus call, and so the chair will say what the options are and it will typically be. Did you find this session useful and the choices are yes no or I need more information?

C

Okay, so you can vote more than once hum more than once so less. How many people you know? Did you find this session useful? Please hum now? If the answer is yes,.

C

Okay, please hum now. If the answer is no so and please hum now, if you don't have enough information to decide, okay, great so most people know so we we had a rough consensus. Most people seem to think it was useful. We'll confirm that on the mailing list we won't, but that's what we would do next is we'd say most people found this session useful, valid reason to say: I, don't know yet is you know, ask me at the end of the week, but that's the way.

C

You know all consensus, questions and humming works that way. Okay with that, we got about three or four minutes left. Are there any questions? If so, just you can come to the mic? I.

D

Tried to register the jabo, but it seems like that. That's a process, I said a problem that you cannot register J, ID I, don't know why. If.

C

You search for like free jabber account. You should be able to find some. You don't have to register on the ietf server of jabber server anywhere. It can get you an account that will then let talk to the ITF server, so look for like free jabber account and you should get like a dozen sites. You can sign up on come to the help desk or come see me I can help you with that.

A

Travis Spencer quick question: will there be like tutorials this week on writing RFC's, like the details of that got, you.

C

Know there are there aren't, maybe yes, there are going. There is a in the video library. There is a section on like the mechanics of how you write a tutorial, the structure of the XML or the markdown. There are some we in the past we've had tutorials on how you do the Security section, security considerations area in general. The best way to learn is like read in existing RFC an area or you know, read the drafts. The progression is. The working group has drafts the drafts. Our editors or authors are picked by the chairs.

C

They progress through multiple revisions and so reading and commenting on drafts. Is you sort of pick it up as a side note, we can consider general, you know guidelines on how to write RFC's. We might we'll take that back and cuz. You know look at it.

D

The slide on the a part try to search for write down the Playstore I could not.

C

The simplest way to find it near this is, if you go to the meetings page on the IETF website. It'll have a direct link, I think to the apps. There are two I know in the Android store. There are two apps one of them ends you install it and it says IETF 99, that's the wrong one. It should okay. I can try a screenshot if you want.

C

All right, we basically ended on time. Thank you very much have a great week.
