Subject: [DNSOP] Anyone else want to join the DNS group at the IETF 96 Hackathon?

DNSOP members,

FYI, we've got 20+ people gathering at the IETF 96 Hackathon on Saturday and Sunday, July 16-17, in Berlin to work on various "DNS / DNSSEC / DPRIVE / DANE" projects.

Anyone else who is around on the weekend is welcome to join us.

There are some projects that could use some additional help (including non-coding help such as documentation and user testing). You are also welcome to bring other projects to the Hackathon.

More info at:  http://ietf.org/hackathon/96-hackathon.html

You can see the list of projects and ideas at (scroll down to find the DNS area) on the IETF wiki at:
https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/96hackathon

The GetDNS crew has a number of projects underway, including TLS interfaces, a Universal Acceptance review and RFC5011 testing. Rick Lamb plans to make BIND work with smartcards without patches.  I plan to work on the code behind the weekly DNSSEC deployment maps.  I'm sure others will bring some projects, too, by the time it begins.

If you want to join us (on one or both days), you are asked to register for the Hackathon at: https://www.ietf.org/registration/ietf96/hackathonregistration.py

This is separate from the main IETF 96 registration.  In fact, you do NOT need to be attending IETF 96 to participate in the Hackathon. Other developers from the region are welcome to join in and help.

There's a group of us who have now done this for the past several IETF meetings and it's been a great experience and moved a number of DNS-related projects forward.  We would definitely welcome anyone else who wants to join us.

See (some of) you there,
Dan
