Is there a process for proposing/announcing virtual bar BOFs?
With QUIC set to be published, there are quite a few folk who are interested in alternative approaches that meet very different use cases and take approaches that are outside the QUIC design constraints. So while it is not necessarily the case that any of that work will ever become a WG or RG, there is a lot of experience that folk would like to discuss and socialize.
For example, I have a scheme that is specifically designed for transactional and streaming Web services that combines the capabilities of TCP/HTTPS with those of SOAP+WS-Security. In the process, I think I understand the original design mistake in the SOAP approach. This is definitely not stuff you would want to support Web Browser use cases but it is definitely stuff that is relevant to IoT and transactional services.
I am aware of at least three other transports, each optimized for slightly different cases. This is the sort of thing we would usually meet in the bar to discuss or hold a formal Bar BOF. It would be good to discuss under NOTE WELL.
