IETF(_at_)20 Guerilla Party Events for Tuesday
**I Wish I Had an IETF Tattoo Day**
Ever wished you had an IETF tattoo? Today, your
wish can come true with the hot-off-the-presses
temporary version of the IETF(_at_)20 tattoo. Pick up
a tat at the IETF(_at_)20 table. These aren?t as
limited as the grey beards but since we know the
tats will be coveted for those boring meetings
back in the office where you might want to come
in emblazoned with IETF body art, I will remind
you that these are first-come, first-served and
will be placed on the table at random times during the day. Be nice and share.
**Tuesday?s Social Gone Wild over IETF(_at_)20**
On March 21st, in conjunction with IETF65, Nokia
and the Internet Society cordially invite you to
celebrate IETF(_at_)20 in Dallas, Texas at the
traditional IETF Social. It will be held at
Eddie Deen's Ranch in downtown Dallas, Texas.
Planned festivities include:
* Reprise of David Clark's famous "rough
consensus and running code" speech from David himself.
* Acknowledgment of the founders of the IETF and
those that have played an important role in its growth
* Remarks from the current IETF and IAB Chairs
with a toast-off to the future of the IETF (so
start working on the toasts now?)
* Tons of good food, drinks and IETF colleagues -
from the first IETF all the way to the present.
* A cake worthy of the IETF - chocolate
sculptures and quotable quotes bring your camera.
Tickets are still available. Busses will be
leaving from the hotel. Paddles and life jackets
are optional. For driving directions, visit
http://www.eddiedeen.com/ranch_facility.htm
For the folks that can?t attend, we?ll be taping
the festivities and archiving video on the web in
a week or two. Crack a brew and watch on your monitor.
**IETF(_at_)20 Trivia**
One aside: Steven Bellovin, who wished he could
have been in Dallas on Monday to be part of the
real grey beard faction, thought the trivia buffs
in the crowd would like to visit http://ioih.org
The Institute of Internet History.
Visit today?s trivia event at
http://ietf20.isoc.org/trivia/. Take a minute or
two to test your knowledge of the IETF and get a
chance to be one of 20 lucky people each day to
receive a bag filled with IETF(_at_)20 goodies.
For today's (Tuesday?s) drawing, we will select
the first 5 submitters, 10 random names and the 5
last submitters from all entries. Timing is everything.
If you were a winner for Monday?s event, you
should have received an email from me telling you
so. Pick up your prize during the course of the
IETF65 meeting in the ISOC office. Office hours
will be posted with the winners list on the
IETF(_at_)20 table. The ISOC office is at the Opal
Room on Tower lobby floor across from Business Center.
Want to add your own trivia question? Send the
question and three answers (including the right
one) to ietf20(_at_)isoc(_dot_)org(_dot_) We?ll add it to future quizzes if we can.
**Miscellany**
IETF(_at_)20 Guerilla Partying is sponsored by ISOC
for IETF65. This is for entertainment. None of
your registration fees were used to support these
activities. No humans were harmed (but possibly
should have been) during the planning
process. No RFCs are available to further
explain this and none are planned. Yes, there
will be different activities each day. And, if
you don?t want to pay attention to the IETF(_at_)20
stuff because it makes you feel too young or you
are too busy trying to find all the good beer
places in Dallas, delete these messages.
**Monday?s Trivia Q&A**
1. For what document was the longest ever single
sitting working group meeting convened?
Host Requirements from 8 am until 2 am the
next morning. Masochists, anyone?
2. Who was the first chair of the IETF?
Mike Corrigan (say hi to him at the social)
3. The IETF had its own series of document
separate from RFCs and prior to Internet Drafts.
Name it and expand the acronym.
IDEAS - Internet Design, Engineering and
Analysis Series. We are so clever with our names, aren?t we?
4. Who was member #1 for the ISOC?
Jon Postel. Yes, he whipped out his
checkbook and threw the check across the table to
Vint. The rest is history. I?m pretty sure ISOC still takes checks.
5. Given an infinite bandwith and a round trip
time of 20ms, what's the maximum throughput of a
TCP connection assuming no negotiated options.
50 * 64K = 3200K
