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.
