Talk: Contributing to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
Time and Place 14.01.2015, 20:00 @ IT-Syndikat, Tschamlerstraße 3 (RSVP via eMail , we need to make sure that we have enough space and chairs available) Abstract The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is one of the leading standards developing organizations where the core Internet protocols are developed. With more than 100 working groups in 8 areas it covers a wide range of technologies, everything from routing to security. Like any other bigger organization it has a complex culture, organizational structure and many rules. Understanding this eco-system, in addition to the technology, is essential to successfully start new work and to finalize it within a reasonable time-frame. In this talk Hannes Tschofenig will explain his journey through the IETF starting at around 2000. The focus will be on the people that keep the organization ’ticking’ but will nevertheless help you to understand the structure and the processes of the organization. CV: Hannes Tschofenig is employed by ARM Limited, a company known for their widely used low-power microprocessors found in tablets,
