Hi All,
I thought it would be worthwhile to send a last minute reminder, in
case folks did not notice the new tutorials listed on the agenda:
The IETF EDU team is proud to be presenting two new tutorials in
Vancouver this afternoon, as part of our IETF Sunday tutorial
series. Although this message only covers the new tutorials,
nformation about the other tutorials being offered this afternoon can
be found here:
http://www3.ietf.org/meetings/70-Sunday_Sessions.html
We will be hosting a new technical tutorial at 3:00pm today (Sunday)
in Salon 3.
Title: The Use of XML in RFC Protocols
Presenter: Tim Bray
This tutorial will cover the following topics:
- How to think about whether XML is a good choice
or not for use in an Internet protocol. There
are alternatives which are often superior choices.
- If you are going to use XML, how to think about
inventing your own language as opposed to using
an existing one, with a review of some popular
languages you might want to consider adopting.
- If you are going to design your own language, how
you might go about doing so. This would include
discussion of:
-- verbosity vs. terseness
-- the use of schemas, and the choice of
available schema languages
-- extensibility
-- i18n and encoding issues
The EDU Team is also presenting a new process tutorial at 3:00pm
today (Sunday) in Salon 2.
Title: The IETF Document Lifecycle
Presenters: Alice Hagens and Margaret Wasserman
This tutorial offers an overview of producing documents in the IETF,
from version 00 of an Internet-Draft to publication as an RFC. We
will cover the working group process, and the required and suggested
contents of an Internet-Draft, including information from IANA staff
about writing IANA Considerations sections. We will walk through
the lifecycle including authorship, WG draft, IETF Last Call, IESG
evaluation, and what to expect during the RFC publication process.
We will provide a set of helpful hints to authors about formatting
rules and editorial policies that often improve the quality of the
resulting documents. We will summarize the states of the RFC
publication process and provide an opportunity to ask questions of
RFC Editor staff.
For people who are not attending the Vancouver IETF, the slides from
these tutorials will be available after the IETF meeting on the EDU
Team website (edu.ietf.org) or in the IETF 70 proceedings.
Thanks,
Margaret
