What’s wrong with the IETF. And what’s right
I have not counted the IETF’s I have attended; I only know the first RFC on which I’m listed as a co-author was published in 2000, so this must be close to 20 years of interacting with the IETF community, and I’m pretty certain I’ve attended at least two meetings a year across that time, and three meetings a year in most of those years. Across that time, there has never been a time when I have not been told, at least once, “the IETF is broken.” And there has not been a single time I cannot remember agreeing with the sentiment.
So, how is the IETF broken? The trend that bothers me the most right now is the gold rush syndrome. A new technology is brought into the IETF, and if it looks like it might somehow be “important,” there is a “land rush” as people stake out new drafts, find use cases, find corner cases, and work to develop drafts and communities around those drafts. This generally results in a sort of ossification process, where there are clear insiders and outsiders, an entirely new vocabulary is developed, and the drafts fly so fast and furious there is Continue reading
The Dawn of New Digital Rights for Finnish Citizens
I’m pleased to introduce our new project New Digital Rights MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), that will teach citizens about their personal data rights through GDPR and MyData frameworks. It is funded by the Internet Society’s Beyond the Net Funding Programme and made possible with volunteers.
The project is a partnership between ISOC Finland Chapter and Open Knowledge Finland. Other NGO’s and associations like Electronic Frontier Finland, Faktabaari, and student organisations will be engaged.
The aim of the project is to make citizens more aware of their digital rights, initially focusing on explaining GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and MyData. The solution is to educate people through a MOOC-platform and series of workshops that create content and train people and organizations to use it.
MyData is the biggest part of our work in Open Knowledge Finland at the moment and we have made a whole conference around this Nordic model of personal data management. It is very much entwined with the changes in the GDPR and we felt that while we made people aware of relevant changes in the European data protection, MyData could be explained in parallel to the GDPR, in a separate, cross-referenced module.
As of now, there will not Continue reading
Les débuts des nouveaux droits numériques pour les citoyens finlandais
J’ai le plaisir de vous présenter notre nouveau projet MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) de droits numériques (New Digital Rights) qui enseignera aux citoyens leurs droits en matière de données personnelles à travers les frameworks GDPR et MyData. Il est financé par le programme de financement Beyond the Net de l’Internet Society et rendu possible grâce à des bénévoles.
Le projet est un partenariat entre ISOC Finland Chapter et Open Knowledge Finland. D’autres ONG et associations comme Electronic Frontier Finland, Faktabaari et des organisations d’étudiants seront mobilisées.

The New Way of Generating IPv6 – SLAAC EUI-64 Address Format
There was an old way of generating Interface IPv6 address using SLAAC process (Stateless autoconfiguration). You simply configured that you want SLAAC autoconfiguration and the interface IPv6 was generated by squeezing “FFFE” in hex (11111111 11111110 bits) between two parts of physical MAC address of that interface. Then, after a while, several comments came to IETF about the use of predictable Interface Identifiers in IPv6 addresses. They were pointing to the ease of correlation of host activities within the same network and across multiple networks. If Interface Identifiers are constant across networks this is negatively affecting the privacy and security of

Construcción de Infraestructura Comunitaria
Cuando Internet no llega a lugares remotos, un modelo que funciona muy bien es aquel en el que la comunidad construye la red para llegar a Internet (no esperar que un proveedor llegue a su comunidad sino construir la red para llegar hasta el proveedor más cercano). Eso implica varios desafíos y requiere cambios tecnológicos, legislativos, nuevos estándares y comunidades que sean capaces de construir y operar la infraestructura comunitaria.
Las redes comunitarias tienen características únicas que requieren una evolución y mudanzas disruptivas tanto en las tecnologías como en la gestión de los recursos (aprovechamiento de la infraestructura pública, gestión del espectro, recursos de Internet, etc.).
Las experiencias prueban que existen muchos modelos que hacen sustentables y efectivas estas redes comunitarias. Ahora debemos comenzar a formalizar y generalizar esos modelos para conseguir la escala e impacto necesarios. Debemos promover cambios en reglamentos y en tecnologías, en gobiernos y en empresas, en fabricantes de equipos y en software open-source. Será necesario organizar y capacitar a las comunidades, involucrar a las ONG para que tengan la capacidad y recursos para ayudarlas, convencer a las empresas que esto no afecta sus negocios y ser sensibles a las necesidades y diferencias de las Continue reading

Data-driven development with Cloudflare Mobile SDK
If your app loads critical resources over the network, it's relying on your user's mobile network connection to deliver an engaging experience. Network errors occur in 3 to 12% of app sessions depending on infrastructure reliability and user geography.
How much engagement are you losing in your app to network errors? Chances are, you don't know.
We didn't either, until we built a free tool that helps Android and iOS developers visualize and understand their mobile app's network utilization.
Introducing Cloudflare Mobile SDK
Our SDK helps you identify slowdowns caused by balky or too frequent network calls, so you can focus your development effort on optimizing the lowest-hanging fruit.
Modern app developers already heavily instrument their apps to identify UX impacting events: they measure and collect launch time, session length, crash rates, conversion events, and lots more, using a multitude of different metrics packages and services.
Web developers look at similar data. They also pay tons of attention to their resource waterfall, mapping their critical rendering path, and understanding which resource loads are synchronous, which are not, and which block rendering. JavaScript even exposes an API to collect waterfalls in the browser programmatically.
It's time to bring the same visibility Continue reading
How Do We Connect Everyone to the Internet? An IETF 101 Technical Plenary
How do we connect everyone, everywhere, to the Internet? What role do “community networks” play in helping connect more people? How can we best use wireless spectrum and what are the issues with that? How can satellites fit into the picture? And what is the state of satellite technology? And what about the role of “space lasers”?
All that and more was the subject of yesterday’s featured panel at the Technical Plenary at IETF 101 in London.

Comment connecter tout le monde à Internet? Une réunion plénière technique de l’IETF 101
Comment connecter tout le monde, partout, à Internet? Quel rôle jouent les «réseaux communautaires» pour aider à connecter plus de gens? Comment pouvons-nous utiliser au mieux le spectre sans fil et quels sont les problèmes avec cela? Comment les satellites peuvent-ils s’intégrer dans l’image? Et quel est l’état de la technologie par satellite? Et qu’en est-il du rôle des “lasers spatiaux”?
