Interested in participating in IETF or IRTF as a PhD student?

Sergio Aguilar Romero and Martine Sophie Lenders, PhD students in network engineering and computer science, attended and participated in the recent #IETF115 meeting in London with assistance from travel grants awarded by the Internet Research Task Force – read more about their experience on the IETF blog at https://www.ietf.org/blog/irtf-travel-grants/

First time at #IETF, our NTP lead developer David worked on Miroslav Lichvar's NTP v5 draft with the time protocol group.

David presented the hackathon results: two interoperable (experimental) NTP v5 implementations. Not bad for two days of work!

Another little research project we're still tinkering with after the #IETF115 Hackathon is Encrypted Client Hello (#ECH) for our connectbyname library. We'll be taking these experiences forward in our comprehensive #DNS tooling for #rustlang. https://github.com/NLnetLabs/connectbyname/commits/ietf115-ech

A quiet Sunday brunch after a busy week at #IETF115 – reconnecting with people, starting new projects, and joining new conversations around policy.

This #IETF115 in London, I stayed in a hotel whose foundations are on the London tube. I couldn't get the next scene from the Blues Brothers out of my head.

As a tradition, the #OpenSource #DNS developers had a dinner at the #IETF115. In addition to writing interoperable code, the developers of @nlnetlabs and @iscdotorg also have an interoperable taste for food.
debian developer offered to package CLATd for #debian at the #v6ops meeting at #IETF115

That alone was worth getting up at 0300 to attend the meeting for.
