I'm writing to excitedly share a new research funding opportunity from M-Lab that I hope will be of particular interest to this group and your networks. M-Lab is seeking three Research Fellows for a six-month fellowship starting in January 2022. The program is directly inspired by the conversations that took place during the most recent IAB workshop on Network Quality and we hope it will provide the resources needed to carry forward the momentum generated throughout the sessions. You can read more about the Fellowship below, but the tldr; is that we're looking for projects that will utilize M-Lab’s longitudinal, open dataset and/or platform to identify under-recognized Internet performance metrics that can be used to improve end user performance and expand Internet performance research beyond the measurement and optimization for bandwidth. We are open to working with students, post-docs, and independent researchers. Each Fellow will be awarded 30,000 USD each and funds will be paid directly to the researcher. Applications are due December 6th. For more information see below or visit our website. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out directly to me or to apply(a)measurementlab.net <mailto:apply@measurementlab.net>. Please also share with any colleagues who might be interested!

The fellowship will begin in January 2022 and complete in May 2022. The M-Lab team will provide data analysis support, research guidance and community networking opportunities. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Relation between QoE and network metrics like bandwidth/latency/loss * Novel metrics that can be computed on existing NDT data * New measurements/experiments that could be deployed on M-Lab to diagnose network bottlenecks * Characterizing paths measured by M-Lab clients; stability of paths, relation to paths of interest (eg., paths to content) or network characterization * Proposals for new experiments to be hosted on the M-Lab platform * Identification of biases in M-Lab data * Implementing ideas introduced during M-Lab’s Community Call on Latency, Bufferbloat and Responsiveness <https://youtu.be/GW5C24YKAh8>and/or the IAB workshop on Network Quality <https://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/network-quality/> Eligibility: Students, post docs and independent researchers are welcome to apply.

IETF hackathon & Interesting thread on the list
by Vesna Manojlovic 30 Sep '21

30 Sep '21

Hi, the IETF112 has a (virtual) hackathon coming up: 1-5 November 2021 https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/112hackathon At the same time, there's an interesting discussion going on , on their list: someone suggested a project on e-tax & APIs... Some people complained that the project is: - maybe not relevant - maybe too political - maybe not technical enough ... BUT some other people defended it as: - it might become relevant - technical is political - the spirit of the the "hackathon" is to explore & mix the skills https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/hackathon/zV_XmUnMgTHNe8PtF9D4ELaj69Y/ Good lessons to learn about our future hackahtons :) Ciao, Vesna
