Speaking of Standards

I don’t know how many of you reading this “Speaking of Standards” blog are also reading our blog portal, subscribing to the main Voxeo blog feed or following us on Twitter, but if you aren’t, I thought I would mention here that I recently launched a new video blog, “Emerging Tech Talk” and that last week three of my shows were specifically about the 73rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) held last week in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The shows were:

• Emerging Tech Talk #004, introducing the IETF

• Emerging Tech Talk #005, about the RAI area, SIP, P2PSIP Security and more
• Emerging Tech Talk #006, with a wrap-up of the week and mention of NAT for IPv6 and a bit about ENUM.

I also recorded some video interviews there at IETF 73 with Eric Burger of the SIP Forum, David Bryan of P2PSIP fame and Peter St. Andre of the XMPP Foundation. I’m aiming to put some of those up soon.

The Emerging Tech Talk video blog will not necessarily focus on standards… it will really be about whatever bright shiny objects I happen to be chasing at the time… but sometimes standards will factor in to it. You are definitely welcome to subscribe to the show feed if you would like to stay up on what I am doing – and comments are definitely welcome. (And yes, I will be making it available as a “podcast” that can be subscribed and downloaded to your computer, iPod or iPhone.) If you are a YouTube user, you can also subscribe to our “voxeovideos” channel directly inside of YouTube.com

This week I am up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at the 73rd meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The meeting has been quite good, and I’ll write more about it in a future blog post. For the moment, though, I thought I’d share some pictures of some of what’s been going on. The pictures you see are mostly of some of the meeting sessions. I also took some pictures of some of the “graybeards” who have been around the IETF for a while (at the request of one of the people involved.

You’ll also see some pictures of the Minneapolis Skyway System which interconnects a huge number of buildings in the downtown region and which allowed me to walk from the Hilton Hotel over to the social event at a place called “GameWorks” without any coat. There are a couple of pictures of the social event, as well, which was held last night for a few hours. (And I can report that there is absolutely no danger that I’ll be leaving Voxeo for the pro bowling circuit after bowling a whopping 83… )

After that brief bit of socializing last night, I was back at it this morning with meetings starting at 7am that went all the way until after 8pm tonight. Two more days to go…

UPDATE: Well, it looks like I still have some work to do with our WordPress MU site to allow embedded Flickr sets. Until I can solve the issue, you will need to just go to this URL to see the photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/danyork/sets/72157609499485588/
