RE: IETF Hackathon at IETF 92, March 21-22, Dallas, TX

Charles,
Don't get me wrong this sounds like an awesome event and I commend you for 
championing and organizing it but on your post here:

Why are Cisco and Cisco DevNet involved?

It seems like this is an (Awesome) Cisco devnet event that is being collocated 
at IETF92 rather than an IETF event.
Just my 2c.

Hi Dean,

I think the short answer to your question is yes. A more complete version of 
that answer is available at:
https://communities.cisco.com/message/175254#175254

I have verified that you do not need to register with Cisco DevNet to view the 
content within the community setup for the Hackathon:
https://communities.cisco.com/community/developer/ietf-hackathon

You do need to login to post to it. This requirement could be relaxed, thus 
allowing anonymous posts, but I don¹t view that as a particularly good solution.

Cheers,
Charles
