I have an idea for one heck of a talk.<br>
<br>
"Beating the Bloat"<br>
<br>
Unfortunately there's too much on my mind (still) to come up with<br>
a summary of everything I could talk about in an hour. <br>
<br>
But I'd go into the history of this project...<br>
<br>
the amazing volunteer-ism, the structural and funding problems, the
failures, the successes, and where we'd<br>
like to go from here. In the proposed title above I'm referring to
"Bloat" in a more general sense, of the enormous disconnects and
latencies between academia, government, industry, the ietf, the open
source communities, etc...<br>
<br>
I know how passionately I feel about everything that happened and
continues to happen, and how I'd like<br>
to structure things so that in the future we can better respond to
potential internet emergencies.<br>
<br>
I have some fire in my belly on this (if, at the moment, ENOENERGY)<br>
<br>
I have to sit down and write up a lot of the last 16 months anyway,
just to get it out of my mind.<br>
<br>
But first up would be structuring what people outside the project
would "get", and truly "hear".<br>
<br>
As I've relied on you all as a wonderful set of brain amplifiers,
I'm interested both in what you'd like<br>
to hear, and in what this audience could 'hear', as I write up an
outline and a summary for submittal<br>
before friday's deadline.<br>
