ION Belgrade: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, do tada!
Deploy360 organised its fifth ION Conference of the year on 23 November 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Belgrade, Serbia. This was co-located with RSNOG 3, the Republic of Serbia Network Operators Group meeting, and attracted over 85 participants.
This was also the occasion of our 25th and last ION Conference, as after a run of seven years, we plan to focus more on targeted events with regions. The Internet ON (ION) series of conferences started in San Francisco back in 2010, subsequently taking in 22 countries in five continents to raise awareness and encourage deployment of IPv6, DNSSEC, DANE, TLS and routing security. More than 2,000 participants from network operators, governments, academia and commercial enterprises have attended the conferences, and during this time global IPv6 deployment has increased from barely registering in 2010 to well over 20% today.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our series sponsor Afilias for making all this possible.
Turning to the event though, Megan Kruse opened the proceedings with an overview of the Deploy360 programme, followed by ISOC Board Member Desiree Miloshevic providing an update on the activities of our ISOC Serbia Belgrade Chapter.

Automate End-to-End Latency Measurements
Here’s another idea from the Building Network Automation Solutions online course: Ruben Tripiana decided to implement a latency measurement tool. His playbook takes a list of managed devices from Ansible inventory, generates a set of unique device pairs, measures latency between them, and produces a summary report (see also his description of the project).

REGISTRATION FOR THE NANOG 72 HACKATHON IS OPEN
Welcome to the NANOG 72 Hackathon brought to you by NANOG
The NANOG 72 Hackathon will bring network operators together in a room to develop new ideas and hacks for internet networks. Tools and software beyond those provided by vendors and existing open-source projects are needed to keep networks up and running. By gathering together at NANOG 72 to collaboratively hack on code or hardware, develop ideas, and documentation we can open up the possibilities. And we will have fun while doing it!
Registration for the Hackathon is open on a space-available basis to all interested attendees of NANOG 72. All skill levels are welcome and participants are expected to actively participate in the hacks. Hackathon participants will be automatically added to an email list after registration is complete in order to receive information and updates. At the end of the hack participating teams will be given the opportunity to briefly present their ideas and determine the top 3 teams. Lightning talks may be submitted to summarize the Hackathon experience and results for the larger NANOG 72 attendee base.

Passing on the CEO Baton
The Internet Society has come far in its 25 years, and as its CEO for just some of that time I feel immense privilege in having been part of the organization’s continued growth and evolution.
Now, more than ever, I feel that the work we all do is the most consequential any of us will do in this challenging time. I continue to be inspired by the Internet Society, its staff and its loyal community every day.
So, it was with very mixed emotions that at the recent Internet Society Board of Trustees meeting in Singapore, I informed the Board that I will not be seeking an extension of my contract as CEO when it is due for renewal at the end of 2018.
With so many accomplishments behind us and at a time when the Internet itself is in the midst of rapid change, I firmly believe that the Internet Society is primed and ready to take on a stronger, more influential role in shaping the future of the Internet for the next generation of users. Knowing this, it also feels like the right time to pass on the CEO baton to the next generation of Internet Continue reading

What I learned at my first Cloudflare Retreat
For the last seven years, Cloudflare has taken the entire company off site for a few days at the end of the year for a company retreat. Back in 2010, this meant five people from the San Francisco office. This November, we had 453 employees from our San Francisco, Singapore, London, Champaign (Illinois), New York City, Washington (DC), and Austin (Texas) offices spend time together in Monterey, California.
Knowing that so many teammates would be coming in from all over the world, we used the days leading up to the retreat to hold global team meetings, conduct a session of our home-grown Making Great Managers workshop, and brought in Valerie Aurora from Frame Shift Consulting to lead Ally Skills workshops for the entire company.
On Thursday, buses departed from Cloudflare headquarters and took us all down to Monterey. Our CEO, Matthew Prince, delivered opening remarks over lunch. During his talk, we learned about the imminent acquisition of Neumob, his thoughts about growing pains and how to successfully scale, and were reminded that we are at our best when we are inclusive of everyone. We reflected on how far we’ve come and got an inspiring glimpse of where we are Continue reading
