This was the final meeting of the
RRG. For months, there were no audio archives of the IETF 77
meeting, so I created an MP3 of the RRG meeting here. Now the
archives are available:
http://www.ietf.org/audio/ietf77/ but I haven't figured out which channel, for Friday AM, the RRG audio is on.
On 2010-09-06 I made some archive files
of the IETF RAM list and the RRG list to date, to help anyone who wants
to search these or load them into their own mail system.
All the files are in the sub-directory mail-list from this one. I
am not providing direct URLs, so please copy and paste the following
references to the URL of the current page. This is intended to stop search engines spidering the files.
There are three formats:
.zip
mbox format, in zip format (Windows PKZIP AKA WinZip etc.)
Mbox is a single file, with each
message's start denoted by a line starting with "From".
Consequently, any message which has such a line in its body has the
word replaced by ">From". I have named these files with
a .txt extension to make it easy to load them into a text editor for
searching. However, this won't necessarily work perfectly, due to
the low-level formatting of messages, such as with "=" at the ends of
some lines, which are not part of the message intended to be read by
humans.
You should be able to place the file, perhaps without the .txt filename
extension, in a local mail directory such as, for Thunderbird in
Windows:
C:\Documents and
Settings\uuuu\Application
Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\pppp.default\Mail\Local Folders
Where "uuuu" is your username and "pppp" is some gobbledygook for your
profile.
.gz mbox format, in gzip format
As above, taken from a Windows
Thunderbird system, but gzipped for convenience on GNU/Linux systems.
.tgz Maildir format, tar-gzipped
This is a directory, tarred and gzipped
(tar -cvzf outfile.tgz input-file-or-directory). The
directory is a Maildir, and so can be used by mailservers such as
Courier IMAPD or similar. All the messages are separate files in cur/ . Before targzipping, I made all the user
and group settings "root", so you will probably want to change them to
the user and group of your user account in the mail server.
RAM list archives
The official RAM list archives are:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ram/current/maillist.html
These contain no search function.
I first joined the RAM list on 1 April 2007. (I had somehow
missed mention of it when reading the Amsterdam RAWS material.) I
can't remember how, but at some stage I supplemented my archive with an mbox file going back to the
start of the list on 2006-11-17 when David Meyers announced its
creation:
We've created a new list, the Routing and Addressing
Mailing list (ram@iab.org), which is reserved for the
IETF community's discussion of the analysis of and
potential solutions to the continued growth in the size
and dynamics of the Internet's default free zone routing
table.
Lixia and I will be moderating the list. We're hoping for
focused discussions on the topic(s) at hand.
As far as I know, the files below cover the entire life of the
list. There are 1787 messages. The RAM list was deactivated on
2008-07-10, with everyone being directed to the IRTF RRG list.
To get these files, add these to the URL of the current page:
mail-list/IETF-RAM-2006-11-17-to-2008-07-10-maildir.tgz (3.2MB)
mail-list/IETF-RAM-2006-11-17-to-2008-07-10-mbox.txt.gz (2.3MB)
mail-list/IETF-RAM-2006-11-17-to-2008-07-10-mbox.txt.zip (2.3MB)
RRG list archives
The official RRG archives are at:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/rrg/current/maillist.html
. These contain no search function. These archives start at
2007-01-07. Message 00007 is the previous chair Avri
Doria announcing her replacement on 2007-02-05. There are
some discussions of scalable routing in March. My message on
SDRAM-based IP forwarding is msg00078 in these archives, and
dated 2007-03-31 in the archives US-based timezone.
So the archives below contain all but the first few dozen messages in
this phase of the RRG's work. These archives contain 7246
messages. The mbox file is 59,204,737 bytes.
To get these files, add these to the URL of the current page:
mail-list/RRG-2008-04-01-to-2010-09-06-maildir.tgz (21.6MB)
mail-list/RRG-2008-04-01-to-2010-09-06-mbox.txt.gz (17.7MB)
mail-list/RRG-2008-04-01-to-2010-09-06-mbox.txt.zip (17.8MB)
(The RRG list up to early October 2008 is searchable at:
