The NDN project team compiles and publishes this newsletter monthly to inform the community about recent activities, technical news, meetings, publications, presentations, code releases, and upcoming events. You can find these newsletters posted on the Named Data Networking Project blog.
Community Outreach
- We are pleased to announce that NIST will host a two-day workshop on Named Data Networking on their campus in Gaithersburg, MD on May 31-June 1, 2016. Day 1 theme will focus on the Internet of Things, Day 2 theme will cover Big Data and Big Media. Please find the agenda and links to registration and hotel information online at http://www.nist.gov/itl/antd/named-data-networking.cfm. Registration will close one week prior to the workshop.
Technical News
- We announced the first public release of a micro NDN forwarder as a browser extension built with the NDN-JS library. The initial work on the extension started during the 2nd NDN Hackathon at UCSD last month, with a small team of developers. The group demonstrated the JavaScript-based ChronoChat app in two tabs inside the same browser seamlessly communicating with each other without any dependency on external NFD service. This group’s effort won the Best External Impact award (See http://2nd-ndn-hackathon.named-data.net/).The extension source code gets packaged with the NDN-JS codebase at https://github.com/named-data/ndn-js/tree/master/tools/micro-forwarder. The Firefox Add-on package: https://github.com/named-data/ndn-js/raw/master/tools/micro-forwarder/ndn-micro-forwarder.xpi
The Chrome extension package: https://github.com/named-data/ndn-js/raw/master/tools/micro-forwarder/extension.crx
