New Episode of Internet Innovators!*Crocker Reveals a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Internet History* Steve Crocker is known as the man who wrote the instructions for the Internet - in his twenties. But at one time, he was just a young graduate student trying to solve a set of problems. "We knew we didn't know all the answers - we were not going to design a complete system, we were going to design a toolkit," Crocker said of the "informal group" which included life-long friend Vint Cerf and other now-famous Internet pioneers. In fact, Crocker said when he was given the "clerical task" of writing down what they were doing, he had many a sleepless night. "I was fearful the mere act of writing down what we were thinking about might trigger a backlash," he continued. "No one had chartered us, we had no authority. I was afraid it might seem like we were being presumptuous - like we were insisting that we were in charge. It caused a number of sleepless nights," he said. *Watch the full interview NOW on NANOG TV.* *WATCH NOW <https://www.nanog.org/news-stories/nanog-tv/internet-innovators/steve-crock…>* *NANOG 84 Agenda is Live * *Save the date! * Coordinate your calendars now, so you are sure not to miss out on any of the incredible upcoming talks and social hours offered virtually + in-person!

by Nanog News 13 Jan '22

13 Jan '22

*“Hackathon” Solves Real-World Tech Issue* Code Developed during NANOG Hackathon Goes Live Hackathons are an essential part of NANOG conferences. They are designed as a “fail forward” space where mistakes can be made as learning, having fun + building community is the prime objective. And sometimes this perfect cocktail of sophisticated fun leads to solving real-world technical issues. The work done at the NANOG 83 Hackathon improved the PeeringDB Simple Search and resolved a vital search issue. Thus, allowing PeeringDB (a freely available, user-maintained, database of networks, and a go-to location for interconnection data) to provide more relevant search results for the end-user. The developed code during the Hackathon, officially went live early Wednesday morning (Jan. 12). NANOG had the opportunity to catch up with PeeringDB product manager Leo Vegoda to learn more. *READ MORE <https://www.nanog.org/stories/hackathon-solves-real-world-tech-issue/>* *Now Accepting Committee Nominations* The 2022 Committee Nominations are now open and run through Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022.
