Named Data Networking (NDN) Project Newsletter for Jan-May 2018

The NDN project team compiles and publishes this newsletter periodically 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 held the 5th NDN Hackathon on December 16-17, 2017 at the University of California, Los Angeles, CA. For more information about the projects and their outcomes, please see the 5th NDN Hackathon page.
  • We held the 6th NDN Hackathon on May 12-13, 2018 at Florida National University. For more information about the projects and their outcomes, please see the 6th NDN Hackathon page for details.
  • We will be discussing NDN at the IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC) on May 20-240, 2018 in Kansas City, MO. For information about the program, see the IEEE ICC page.
  • The next Named Data Networking Community Meeting (NDNcomm) will be hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on September 19 and 20, 2018 at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD. Registration is now open until September 12, 2018. For more information see the NIST events page.

Technical News

  • We released version 0.6.2 of Named Data Networking Forwarding Daemon (NFD) and ndn-cxx library.
    The detailed NFD release notes and ndn-cxx library release notes are available.More details about NFD, tutorials, HOWTOs, a FAQ and other useful resources are available on official webpages of NFD and ndn-cxx.
