Introduction to The Internet Society's Deploy360 Programme - Megan kruse

Megan Kruse: I'm Megan Kruse and I'm happy to be at an ARIN meeting for the first time in a few years and not as a staff member. So no responsibilities. I'm here to tell you what I've been doing for the past two years or so with the Internet Society. We have a new initiative -- new as of a year and a half ago we officially launched -- called Deploy360. Our main mission is to increase real world deployment of the standards that are coming out of the IETF. We have three main topics at the moment. They're IPv6, DNSSEC, and routing resiliency and security. So the problem that we see is that the IETF creates these standards and then they say, okay, we're done. Standards done. And there's nobody to fill that gap in and go to the operators and say: And here's how you do it. So that's the gap that we're trying to fill. We've also -- if you go Google "how do I do IPv6," you're going to get millions of hits, so -- and some of them will be 15 years old and completely irrelevant. So we're trying to kind of be the best ever repository of information and get the real hands on information into the operators' hands so they know what they're doing and how to proceed. So there are four main components of the program. The web portal is everything. It's got all of the tutorials and white papers and case studies and videos. There's tons of information on there and we're constantly adding to it. And we have five main audiences that we're trying to reach. They're developers, network engineers, consumer electronics manufacturers. And two more. We're very active on social media. All of our resources that go out are put out over Twitter and Facebook and Google+ and RSS feeds, trying to engage as many audiences as we possibly can. We add them to LinkedIn groups that are related to DNSSEC or IPv6, things like that. We do a lot of videos. We have outside speaking engagements such as this one where we go to network operator groups. We go to IPv6 summits. We were just at the Rocky Mountain IPv6 Summit last week. Dan York, my colleague, is at SIPNOC. That's a voice conference. He's there this week. And World IPv6 Congress. All sorts of events all over the place. And we actually have our own ION conferences. We do three or four a year. We try to hit different continents. This is very much a global effort. And we're just trying to spread the word out. And it goes two ways. We're trying to get the people that have done it in the room with the people who need to do it. And then we're also trying to get feedback from the people who need to do it saying -- just to find out what do you need from us. We'll either create it or we'll go find somebody who has already done this how to document, what do you need, how can we help you. We're really trying to get you the information you need, but you need to tell us what it is you need if it's not already on the web portal. I have an animation, who knew. So just let that fill in apparently. There we go. So this first one, this is how you can get involved. This first one might be preaching to the choir a little bit, but go to the website, poke around, look at the resources, see what's there, see what you can use to actually get IPv6, DNSSEC, things like that, deployed. And give us feedback: what worked, what didn't, what can we add, what was clear, what was not clear. Look through the resources and let us know how we can help. Spread the word. I'm sure all of you have completely updated all of your networks to be IPv6 and DNSSEC ready. Right? But maybe some of your customers or clients have not. So spread the information to them, give them the information that they might need. And, again, if they come back to you and say this wasn't clear, let us know. We're constantly adding things and tweaking the information on the site. So we have the ability to add content and create new content and change it up so that it is helpful if you don't find it exactly what you need right now. And then this is the part where I'm really hoping you can help us out is we have a product -- we have a roadmap for each topic, and this is the holes we see, the things we need to fill in, the case documents, the case studies, the tutorials. Take a look at the roadmaps. And maybe you or your company has already written some of this stuff and we can add it to our site. Maybe you can work with us on a case study of how you deploy DNSSEC in your own, for yourself. So work with us to create new content, and we will credit your work. We're happy to spread the love a little bit. So that's kind of the bulk of it. I only have six slides, so probably didn't need 15 minutes. We're all over social media. Here are the links. You can also go to internetsociety.org/deploy360 and poke around. I'll be here for the next few days, so contact me or contact us at deploy360@isoc.org. And we'll be around. Also, following up on Aaron's presentation, if you're going to stick around for CaribNOG, I'm going to channel my co-worker and give his presentation on the local BCOP efforts. If you have any questions and you're not going to stick around for CaribNOG, just find me and I'm happy to answer questions. If you have any questions, go for it. John Curran: Any questions for Megan? (No response.) John Curran: Thank you, Megan. (Applause.)
