IETF 100, Hosted by Cisco! More information about IETF 100 here: https://www.ietf.org/meeting/100/ Thursday Speaker Series Topic — 3 years on: Open Standards, Open Source, Open Loop At IETF 91, many outrageous claims were emphatically made about the relationship between Open Standards and Open Source. Three years later, let’s take a look at how much progress has been made, if any; and discuss successes and failures. Communities of developers and engineers have fully formed Open Source efforts and are building large, effective communities without any documented standardization as a part of their strategy. How should SDOs interact with developers, communities and deployers of Open Source? There are claims and perhaps proof that Open Source now fully defines the industries "de facto Standards." Does the process of standardization and the contents and lifecycle of a standard need to fundamentally change?
