By: PRHUB To enter the “I Spy Ethernet IEEE 802.3” contest, individual contestants are asked to submit a photo or a sketch of an example of how Ethernet is being deployed presently or how it might be deployed in the future. All entries will be posted on the IEEE-SA Ethernet Anniversary Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ “This contest is all about the future of Ethernet and its positive impact on humanity. And there’s so much more to explore on a global scale in the areas of energy, healthcare, education and more,” said Bob Metcalfe. “The ‘I Spy Ethernet IEEE 802.3’ contest will help generate new and exciting ideas about what’s possible with Ethernet technology and get more people thinking and talking about as yet unimagined Ethernet applications that will help change our lives.” In addition to the contest and promoting the benefits of Ethernet technology, the IEEE 802® November Plenary Session (http://www.ieee802.org/ Open to all plenary session attendees and to the public, the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee is hosting an Ethernet 40th Anniversary Celebration on Monday, 11 November 2013, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. As part of the celebration, Bob Metcalfe will be the featured keynote speaker. “Along with meetings, tutorials and networking opportunities, the IEEE 802 Plenary Session in Dallas will host study groups, working groups and committees that aim to work on furthering Ethernet’s success and bright future,” said Paul Nikolich, chair of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee. “Having Bob Metcalfe as the keynote speaker at the Ethernet 40th Anniversary Celebration is truly an honor. I’d like to thank Bob for his continued commitment to IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards and our collective work to further progressing the technology he created.” Another opportunity at the IEEE 802 Plenary Session is the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee University Outreach Program (http://802world.org/ The purpose of the program is to increase the understanding of the importance that IEEE standards hold within engineering technology, observe the standards development process, and encourage participation in IEEE Standards Education Committee programs, including applying for student application paper grants, and more. “For participating university students and faculty, the day will start with a brief orientation session followed by an opportunity to observe the sessions in progress, ending with a wrap-up session providing further opportunities to ask questions and provide feedback,” said David Law, chair of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Working Group, and distinguished engineer for HP Networking. “We encourage all students and faculty of universities to participate in what will be a very rewarding day of observing the IEEE 802 networking standard development process.” About the IEEE Standards Association The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized standards-setting body within IEEE, develops consensus standards through an open process that engages industry and brings together a broad stakeholder community. IEEE standards set specifications and best practices based on current scientific and technological knowledge. The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of over 900 active standards and more than 500 standards under development.
