Why did Google sponsor the 73rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) this month (Nov 2008) in Minneapolis, MN? What is Google’s interest in IETF and standards anyway? And what about open source? In this show, host Dan York sits down with Chris DiBona, Google‘s Open Source Programs Manager, to discuss these and other questions.

This interview with Chris DiBona was recorded at the IETF 73 meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on November 18, 2008. As you can probably tell, my camera was placed on a piece of furniture about ten feet away from where Chris and I were sitting. The audio was simply recorded with the camera’s microphone and then I did some post-production to try to bring the volume up a bit. And yes, that was the very high-end suite in the hotel that Google was given as a result of sponsoring the event.

In case you are wondering, I am working on how to make this Emerging Tech Talk show available as a video “podcast” that you can subscribe to and download into a media player like iTunes or a device like an iPod or iPhone. The challenge is that I also want the videos to be searchable and findable in YouTube. It’s also insanely simple to upload videos to YouTube from within iMovie ’08 – and I’m trying to do this show with as little overhead and process as possible.

I looked into seeing if I could simply subscribe to the YouTube “channel” via iTunes, but that doesn’t work for a couple of reasons. First, the YouTube ‘voxeovideos’ channel feed isn’t in a form that iTunes seems t be able to recognize. Second – and more importantly – the videos on YouTube are all in Flash video format, whereas iTunes/iPod/iPhone all need the m4v format.

So it would seem that I need to host the videos elsewhere in the appropriate iTunes/iPod/iPhone format and then also upload them to YouTube. I can obviously host them on our site – and I may do that – but we’re not really set up as a video streaming/download site. Yes, I can find a WordPress plugin, and that is an option. I’ve also looked at blip.tv in the past and it seems a range of similar services have emerged over the past couple of years. The question really is for any of those sites what their intellectual property license is like (a.k.a. Terms of Service) and whether or not they allow companies to upload videos. There is also admittedly a cost factor, i.e. do they charge and if so how much?

So that’s the scoop… probably next week after US Thanksgiving I’ll dig into it a bit more… if any of you reading this have any ideas that you care to leave in the comments, they are certainly appreciated.

Fun, fun, fun…

In this final show from IETF 73 in Minneapolis, Dan York offers a few final thoughts about the IETF, IPv6 and NAT, and the use of ENUM for resolving SIP addresses.

Dan York is still up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the 73rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and in this show he talks about the conference so far and some of the discussions within the Realtime Applications and Infrastructure (RAI) area around how to work more effectively on the specifications around SIP. The “rai-discuss” mailing list Dan mentions can be found at: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rai-discuss It is a open, public mailing list that anyone who is interested can join and participate. The Internet-Draft Dan mentions about is draft-matuszewski-p2psip-security-requirements. The IETF 73 meeting continues through tomorrow (Friday, November 21, 2008).

In this show, Dan York talks about his week at VoiceCon San Francisco 2008, the sessions he was involved with, the eComm dinner he attended and then a bit on the importance of the Microsoft / IBM announcement about the instant messaging (IM) interop that they are doing between Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) and IBM’s Lotus Sametime. He also discussed why this is of interest to Voxeo. (Here’s a hint.)

Welcome to “Emerging Tech Talk” a new video podcast that I’m launching here on the Voxeo blog site. In this introductory episode, I am simply explaining a bit about what I intend to do with this show.

Or watch via YouTube:

As I mention, I’m not entirely sure how often I’ll be uploading these episodes. I know that this particular week I’ll have a couple of episodes up online. I anticipate that some of the episodes will be me speaking, as in this one (although hopefully not that often from airports), some of the episodes will be interviews, like the one I’m putting up tomorrow, and some of the episodes will be screencasts.

I also need to work out some of the details of publishing a video podcast through the WordPress MU platform we are using, so this podcast is also a way for me to try out some of the technology.

I’ve got some interesting topics already lined up and it should all be fun over the next while. If there are topics you would like to hear me talk about, please do send me an email. And please do subscribe to the RSS feed to keep up with our latest episodes.

Thanks for watching… and I look forward to sharing the journey into emerging technology with you.
