After nearly 3 weeks at home (my longest stretch since last August), I’m off to join the already-in-progress APRICOT 2015 in Fukuoka, Japan.<\/p>\n

For those who don’t know, the annual APRICOT (Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies) is a:<\/p>\n

Ten-day long summit consist[ing] of seminars, workshops, tutorials, conference sessions, birds-of-a-feather (BOFs), and other forums all with the goal of spreading and sharing the knowledge required to operate the Internet within the Asia Pacific region.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Learn more about APRICOT and all of the prestigious organizations who collaborate to help make it happen here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty massive event, and there is a ton going on next week. I’ll start with a couple of the activities I’m most involved in. Next, I’ll rundown a few other potentially exciting\/informative\/important sessions that caught my eye.<\/p>\n

Operators and the IETF BoF<\/h2>\n

I’m very pleased to announce that I will be hosting a BoF on Wednesday, 4 March from 17:30 – 19:00 (local, UTC+9) in rooms 502 + 503<\/strong> to talk about our project to address the perceived gap between Operators and the IETF. This project has become about more than just operators though, we’re really trying to make it easier for newcomers to bring real-world experiences into the IETF process.<\/p>\n

I will be presenting the results from our 2014 survey of operators but the real purpose and value of this session will be the discussion in the room. We understand the problems, now let’s start finding solutions, together!<\/p>\n

Read more about this project here<\/a>, read the IETF Internet-Draft with detailed survey results here<\/a>, and then come to the BoF and help us continue this conversation! Want to get a jump start? Whether or not you’ll be in Japan next week, you can join the \u2018synergy<\/a>\u2018 mailing list and join the discussion today.<\/p>\n

One thing that makes this super exciting is that we are already testing ideas generated from this project. The IETF Help Desk is one such idea, which we’ll get to see in action in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n

IETF Help Desk @ APRICOT 2015<\/h2>\n

Following our success with the alpha run at NANOG 63<\/a>, we’ll be continuing to test the IETF Help Desk<\/a> concept next week at APRICOT 2015. The IETF Help Desk is designed to be your one stop for all your IETF questions.<\/p>\n

Reminder: This is not an official (read: approved or funded) IETF activity. We\u2019re just a bunch of folks who happen to participate in both the IETF and APRICOT who\u2019ve volunteered to staff the table and help our fellow community members.<\/em><\/p>\n
