<strong>ISC invites all local BIND administrators, system
architects, and anyone interested in DNS to attend our next BIND
Open Day on Friday, January 13, 2012. This is your opportunity to
meet, interact, and build a relationship with many of ISC's
engineers who have been coding DNS, crafting the standards, and
pushing the technology of the world's most deployed DNS software.
Interactive dialog is a core theme for all ISC events.</strong>
<p>We seek BIND operators to share their architecture, experiences,
and requirements for the future. The day will have a range of
“geek to geek” opportunities with ISC’s engineers – building the
operational understanding relevant BIND functionality.</p>
<p>The January BIND Open Day will focus on the future of BIND and
seeking guidance to insure operational relevance.</p>
<p>* The whole BIND 10 development community will be attending (ISC
and their partners).</p>
<p>* The day will start with a segue from BIND 9 to BIND 10 -
reviewing all the engineering design principles, approaches,
quality methodology, and open source access between the two
versions.</p>
<p>* You'll hear how the BIND Team uses Agile Scrum, and Test Driven
Development (TDD) to achieve code quality and visible development
goals.</p>
<p>* We’ll walk through the architecture and technology used in BIND
10’s development.</p>
<p>* You'll learn how your input can shape BIND 10 today, providing
operational "user stories" that would be used to enhance BIND's
progress.</p>

<p>TIME: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM PST<br>
</p>
<p>VENUE: Silicon Valley, California - specific location TBD,

location information in early January.</p>
<p><strong>Share your User Stories!</strong> The first lines of BIND
10 code were unit test derived from an Agile user story. We are
seeking operator’s User Stories that will evolve into new BIND
features, functions, and capabilities. Use the optional field
below to enter your User Story. For a brief outline of what we
mean by User Stories have a look at this entry in ISC’s Knowledge
Base: <a class="ext

<p>Are you a DHCP user? This “BIND Day” will have ISC’s full DHCP
Engineering Team in attendance. Let us know if you are interested
in break out sessions focusing on DHCP 4 and DHCP 10.</p>
<p>We look forward to meeting you in January!</p>
