Summer of Code: Event notification service for the IETF
The IETF Tools team is looking for student applicants to work on a Summer of Code project in which an event notification service for the IETF would be created. The likely mentor for the project is Henrik Levkowetz. The project will be done with Internet2 as the mentoring organization. If you know of students who might be interested in participating, please pass this along to them. If you are a student with some coding experience and interest in open-source development, please consider applying. Assuming the project is successful, Google will pay the student doing it $4500. The deadline for applications is May 8, 2006. The project description follows (from http://transport.internet2.edu/soc2006/ideas.html). Summary: Put together an event notification service for the IETF where people can subscribe through a web interface for personalized notifications, and provide notifications through any of the following mechanisms: RSS, Atom, Mail, and Web-pages (individually customized). This work will be done in collaboration with the IETF Tools team. Background: Work in the IETF is carried out in more than 100 different working groups, with around 2000 active document at any given time. For any single participant, only a small subset of this work is of immediate interest, but when anything happens that is of interest, he would like to know as early and clearly as possible. The subset of interest to any one participant is also generally different from that of all other participants, so individually customized notifications would be optimal. A browsable view of the process is available through document overview pages for individual working groups, but this needs to be complemented with a notification service for events such as draft updates, new drafts, last call announcements, published RFCs, new working groups, etc. Some constraints: Individual events will be provided in a single format, to be agreed on. The notification service should store events by time and classification, and offer a web interface by which individual subscription to a subset of events is possible. The interface should dynamically build the offered selection criteria based on the field types already seen in incoming events. Events should be transformed from the canonical format to RSS, Atom, Mail, and HTML format. There is a strong preference for the system to be coded in Python. -- Stanislav Shalunov http://www.internet2.edu/~shalunov/ This message is designed to be viewed at an angle of 45 degrees. ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf

It would be strange to use one of the many RSS formats while there is a technically superior IETF standard (RFC 4287). This being said, discussion mailing lists (not announce mailing lists) are not very well handled by current syndication formats, mostly because of links between messages of a same thread.

RE: IETF Meeting Survey - Last Call
Well, obviously, those of us that did the survey should be rewarded by having the consensus results acted upon ... if people don't like the results in Montreal, they'll have more of an incentive to take the survey at that time. More seriously, Ray might get more of a result if he sent the request to the list of people that actually attended the Dallas meeting (they know who we are, after all) rather than just sending it to the ietf list.

I at least do not take it for granted that Shim6 solves ALL our needs in this space. For instance, it could be that we need more than one solution for the continuum that starts from large organizations and continues through medium and small size organizations to homes and hosts. Shim6 looks like a very promising solution for some parts of this continuum, but it is up for discussion whether something else is needed too.

Thinking about interim meeting dates
As Ray pointed out in his note, there are only 74 days until IETF 66, so if your working group has been noodling about holding an interim meeting, there's not a lot of time to pick dates/places and announce them, since the requirement is 30 days advance notice plus 30 days prior to an IETF meeting (see http://www.ietf.org/IESG/STATEMENTS/Interim-meetings.txt for details). You should probably also allow at least five minutes for AD approval :-) Thanks, Spencer - Original Message - From: "Ray Pelletier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 5:47 AM Subject: IETF Meeting Survey - Last Call All; More than 1,250 of you attended IETF 65 in Dallas and many others attended sessions remotely.
