Forty years ago, 21 people gathered for the first meeting of what became the Internet Engineering Task Force or #IETF . Every day billions of people use the open standards and technologies developed in the IETF. And nearly 8000 volunteer IETF participants from around the world collaborate in more than 100 working groups evolving those open standards and making the Internet work better!

Happy 40th to the #IETF!
I enjoyed 15 years of my career with the IETF, traveling the world, making friends, publishing Internet-Drafts and RFCs. 😁
