[Recentattendees] IETF 90

Can’t make it to Toronto? Participate remotely! The IETF offers a number of ways for remote attendees to audit or even contribute to IETF sessions throughout the meeting week.

First, register for the meeting. There is no cost to register as a remote attendee and by registering you will insure that you receive important updates on agenda changes and other things of interest to meeting attendees. Please register here: http://www.ietf.org/meeting/register.html and select “remote participant” as your registration type. 

General remote participation information can be found here: http://www.ietf.org/meeting/90/remote-participation.html. Below is a breakdown of some of the main services available. 

1) Meetecho 
The Meetecho platform provides a synchronized view of the audio/video stream from the meeting room, which includes slides being presented and the presenter, as well as official IETF Jabber room. Meetecho will be supporting six of the eight concurrent working session tracks, along with both the Administrative and Technical plenaries. If you have a comment or a question, Meetecho enables you to ask it even if you are not in the room. In addition, Meetecho will be streaming many of the Sunday tutorials sessions. For more information on how to join a Meetecho session, or to watch a recording after the session has concluded, see here:http://ietf90.conf.meetecho.com/.

2) Audio Stream
If you only want to listen to the sessions (or if the session you are interested in isn’t supported by Meetecho), the audio stream is a good choice. All working sessions are streamed; see here for more channel-to-room assignments: http://www.ietf.org/meeting/90/remote-participation.html#audio.

3) Jabber Rooms
All IETF meeting sessions have a corresponding Jabber room. See here for link to the meeting agenda with corresponding Jabber rooms: http://tools.ietf.org/agenda/90/. Whenever possible, an in-room volunteer monitors the Jabber room; this volunteer will stand at the microphone for remote attendees and relay their questions into the meeting room microphone so that people in the room can respond. More information on the IETF Jabber service is available here: http://www.ietf.org/jabber/.

4) Mailing Lists
The 90attendees@ietf.org is for general discussion of things happening at the meeting; join the list if you want to hear about Toronto restaurants, meeting room temperatures and other topics of interest to those who are physically present at the meeting. Subscribe to 90attendees here: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/90attendees. 

The 90all@ietf.org list is for important announcements only and is not a discussion list. You automatically subscribed when you register as a remote participant. Being on 90all is essential if you want to hear about changes to meeting agenda or other important announcements. Subscribe to 90all here: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/90all.

5) Live Video and Text Streaming of the Technical Plenary on Monday, July 21st. The technical topic is network topology and geography. See http://www.ietf.org/live/ for more information.

After the meeting we will be sending a survey to all remote participants to get feedback on their experience; if you participate remotely, we’d love to hear from you! And don’t forget to follow @ietf on Twitter!

Only 3 days until the Toronto IETF!
