The IO Foundation will be there in-person to support the advancement of Request For Comments (RFCs) that protect digital citizens by design.
You can find the meetings agenda here:
Jean F. Queralt will be presenting a HotRFC under the title "One diagram to stack them all".
With so many SDOs, supranational and local processes, technical codes, policies and all the rest, it is quite difficult to visualize which areas does a document impact in our digital infrastructure and devices.
OSI was a good start for its purpose and further models have been proposed to include other considerations that affect how technology is designed and implemented.
This talk will aim at proposing a more general diagram with the hopes of achieving a framework that can be used in as many scenarios as possible.
Location
Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
Come visit us at our Community Booth where we'll introduce you to our advocacy and explore how can we help you change the tech ecosystem so that it protects users by design.
