  VIDEO – “It’s the Web, Tim, but not as we know it” #unhosted @isocny 

  On Tuesday March 26 2013, at Thoughtworks NYC office, the Internet Society’s New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) presented “It’s the Web, Tim, but not as we know it” in which guest Michiel de Jong explained unhosted, an open source solution for privacy and security in the cloud.

  The web started out as a platform for static documents. It then evolved into a platform for hosted software, that runs “in the cloud”, outside the user’s control. But html5 technology allows for a new option: “unhosted web apps”. Like documents, unhosted web apps are served as static content, which makes them cheap to publish. But like hosted software, they can have all the interactive functionality of a software application. In this new paradigm, the web is used to deliver the source code of the application, rather than delivering its user interface. Two years ago Michiel de Jong quit his day job as a scalability engineer, to work on free technology in exchange for donations. He now lives as a digital nomad and will be giving this talk remotely. This is a followup to the 2012 ISOC-NY/NYTECH event “New Techniques for Protecting Cloud Data and Security”

  Before Michiel spoke, there was brief presentation by Mozilla System Adminstrator Ben Kero on the new FirefoxOS for mobile devices.

  Remembering Aaron / Internet Freedom Day / Anniversary of SOPA/PIPA blackout 

  In a recent Wired article The Internet Deserves Its Own Holiday, writer Marvin Ammori suggested that January 18, the anniversary of the SOPA/PIPA blackout, be celebrated as Internet Freedom Day. The suggestion was well received and many event will take place this Friday, including this one in NYC. The unfortunate death of Aaron Swartz has both highlighted the issue and made the the day an opportunity for a wake. ISOC-NY will join other NYC groups on Friday to participate. Details below.

  What: Remembering Aaron & Internet Freedom Day
  When: Friday, January 18, 2013 6:00 PM
  Where: Temple Bar, 332 Lafayette Street (btwn Houston and Bleecker), NYC

  Benefits of Cloud for Video and Image – Jan. 17 #cloud #nytech 

  On January 17 2013 the New York Technology Council kicks  off their 2013 program with a compelling event – Benefits of Cloud for Video and Image that will explore the “Pros, cons, and risks of cloud for high-quality video and images”. This topic is likely to be a bit of an eye-opener as to the kind of thing NYC’s media professionals could do with the affordable gigabit or similar bandwidth available elsewhere, if and when it arrives here…

  Recognizing the interest to our members, NYTECH has kindly once again offered to discount their regular $20 event fee for ISOC-NYers who wish to attend. Register via our meetup page.

  What: Benefits of Cloud for Video and Image
  Where: Anchin, 1375 Broadway, 23rd Floor (@ W.37 St.)
  When: Thursday January 17 2013, 6.30pm

  VIDEO: Andrew Blum: What is the Internet? #nytc #nyc #internet 

  On Thursday October 11 2012 the New York Technology Council and ISOC-NY hosted author Andrew Blum discussing his book Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet. Andrew’s book, prompted when his Internet was disconnected by a squirrel, accessibly examines the raw physical infrastructure of the network, and the people who put and hold it together. Video is below.

  One point he made in the talk was that the only people that wouldn’t give him access to their inner workings were Google. Within days after the talk Google announced a new datacenter info website including a street-view walk-through their Lenoir NC data-center.

  NYC World IPv6 Launch event – Jun 6 @ NYU #ipv6 #v6launch 

  

  Organized by the Internet Society, World IPv6 Launch on 6 June 2012 is the designated date when organizations across the industry – including Internet service providers (ISPs), hardware makers, and web companies – prepare for and permanently enable Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) on their products and services as Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address space runs out.

  Last year, major web companies and other industry participants successfully enabled and tested IPv6 on their main websites for 24 hours on World IPv6 Day, which was held on 8 June 2011.  World IPv6 Day only involved websites,  and was just a day, this year in contrast the emphasis is across the entire spectrum of the Internet industry and is permanent.

  Similar to last year’s successful NYC event, on Wednesday June 6 2012 ISOC-NY will present an informal discussion and celebration meetup at NYU starting at 7pm EDT.  Among those attending will be Phillip Koblence, VP Operations (NYI), and Sagi Brody of Webair who will both give brief talks on their company’s IPv6 implementation efforts, after which we will repair to a nearby drinking establishment for social activities.

  What: World IPv6 Launch Discussion and Celebration.
  When: Wed. June 6, 2012  - 7pm-8.30pm
  Where: Courant Institute NYU, Rm 201, 251 Mercer St. NYC
  Who:  Free. Public welcome, especially network admins!
  Hashtags: #v6launch ; #ipv6
  RSVP: email | facebook | meetup
  Webcast: Not planned at this time.
