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.
Registration for the Hackathon is Continue reading
The Battle Of The InfiniBands
When it comes to HPC, compute is like the singers in a rock band, making all of the noise and soaking up most of the attention. But the network that lashes the compute together is literally the beat of the drums and the thump of the bass that keeps everything in synch and allows for the harmonies of the singers to come together at all.
In this analogy, it is not clear what HPC storage is. It might be the van that moves the instruments from town to town, plus the roadies who live in the van that set up …

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

Introducing Docker Community Leaders – Formerly Known as Meetup Organizers
As we continue to grow, we’ve been thinking of ways to better serve the Docker community and give more visibility and recognition to the people who don’t just organize events, but who also teach, mentor and volunteer in their community.
What’s New?
- New name! These folks don’t just organize meetups, they are leaders, mentors, teachers, speakers, and volunteers in their local community.
- New mascot! About time right? What better animal than the social dolphin to represent this amazing group! Our community leaders are pros at juggling several tasks and filling multiple roles at the same time.
- New Docker Community Events site! We’ve brought the community to docker.com making it easier than ever for you to find a local event! Learn more here.
They spoke and we listened
At each DockerCon, we host a Summit for our Meetup Organizers to make connections, review best practices, and give feedback on what we’re doing well and what we can do better. In Austin, the group reviewed their program as a whole, and came to the decision that the title Meetup Organizer didn’t fully encompass the complete role they played in their local community. After the conference, we continued the conversation, and they Continue reading
