This section is the curated public record. Anything we link here is on someone else's site, under their byline, in their own words. It is the place to go when you want to see what is actually being said about vCon in public, by whom, and where.
If you arrived here from the home page looking for evidence that vCon is more than a single vendor's idea, the layers below are where that evidence lives.
The IETF process is itself the strongest evidence that vCon is being built in the open. Specific public statements from carriers, platforms, regulators, and civil society organizations show up across the subsections.
- The standards process. The IETF VCON working group datatracker page is the primary source. Charter, drafts, mailing list archives, and meeting minutes are all public and permanent. See also IETF Sessions.
- Industry adoption and analyst framing. Conference Keynotes and Articles & Press collect talks and longform writing from TADSummit, TADHack, Telecom Reseller, Medium, and analyst blogs.
- Audio commentary. Podcasts, anchored by Jeff Pulver's ongoing Substack series, is the rolling commentary track on vCon's adoption.
- Related standards work. SCITT is the IETF effort vCon pairs with for lifecycle integrity. Talks linking the two appear in Conference Keynotes and Podcasts; the longer treatment is at SCITT and vCon.
- Get oriented quickly. Pick one talk from Conference Keynotes and one article from Articles & Press. Forty minutes will give you a working mental model.
- Cite vCon. When you need a durable link for a deck, blog post, or RFP, prefer the primary sources: IETF datatracker pages and the dated, linked entries in each subsection. Podcasts pins one item, the Pulver Substack, at the top.
- Track the working group. IETF Sessions is the closest thing to a primary source for where the spec is going next.
- Find a quote. Entries in each subsection run newest first, by the date of the talk, post, or recording. Entries whose source gives no date sit at the end of their section.
- IETF Sessions: IETF VCON working group sessions since 2023 with recordings and materials, plus the next scheduled interim
- Conference Keynotes: TADSummit, TADHack, Generative AI Expo, and other event talks
- Podcasts: audio interviews, including Jeff Pulver's ongoing Substack series
- Articles & Press: longform writing, press coverage, and analyst commentary
We link to public material by the speakers and authors who produced it. We do not characterize positions of organizations beyond what those organizations have said themselves in public, on the record. If you want to know what a given carrier, platform, regulator, or civil society organization thinks about vCon, follow the links to their own words.
