IETF Summer Week

Timeframe:

Backcasting from a mid-May registration

To Do!

  • Name & frame the week (Ideally DONE by May 6!) (Brainstorm in This GDoc)
    • Naming - Boris has a handwritten list, highlights of which have been transcribed into the GDoc linked above. T
    • Framing - unearthing the intersections of tech / arts / media / research, leveraging the presence of IETF being in town!
  • Plan location/vibe for afterparty Sat, July 27
  • Create a consolidated lu.ma calendar where people can add their events
    • Set up a subdomain at dwebyvr.org
  • Extend invitation to the network
    • Internet Access

What's confirmed:

  • Our Networks in 312 Main on Sat, July 27
  • The whole IETF event series; the conference is quite expensive, but the first Sat/Sun (codesprint) is quite open.

Other audiences

  • Interdisciplinary arts / tech / media / research

Other ideas

  • Get a (physical) badge for attending the week!
