ISC develops and distributes three open source Internet networking software packages: BIND 9, ISC DHCP, and Kea DHCP. BIND 9, ISC’s Domain Name System (DNS) software program, is widely used on the Internet by enterprises and service providers, offering a robust and stable platform on top of which organizations can build distributed computing systems. ISC DHCP implements the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for connection to an IP network, offering a complete solution for implementing DHCP servers, relay agents, and clients. ISC DHCP is a mature program with many features, but it can be cumbersome for operators to maintain. Kea DHCP is ISC’s newer DHCP software, and is designed for modular extension, dynamic reconfiguration, and high performance.In addition to our open source software, ISC also operates critical Internet infrastructure in the form of the F-Root server, one of the 13 Internet root name servers that power the global Internet. Through F-Root, ISC pioneered the use of global “anycast” in DNS.Our staff’s contributions are instrumental to various Internet governance and community initiatives, and ISC engineers have written or co-authored more than 100 of the technical standards (RFCs) that are essential to interoperability on the Internet.

The North American Network Operators’ Group (NANOG) is dedicated to the ongoing advancement of an open, secure, and robust Internet – by inspiring, educating, and empowering our community to meet the ever-changing demands of a global network. The key to building the "Internet of tomorrow" is ensuring that everyone is welcome, included, and represented. NANOG has committed itself to improve DEI efforts within our community. Changing the status quo is only met by intention, not by accident.

Hooked On Driving (HOD) is a community of people who love their cars, love to drive, and enjoy driving them in the controlled environment of a road course - they love track days. Founded in 2004 as a high-performance driving experience (HPDE), with seven regions across the U.S., we enjoy driving our cars closer to their potential than is prudent on public highways. At Hooked On Driving, fondly known as HOD, we encourage drivers young and old to learn more about the capabilities of their car and develop a higher level of skill than comes from traditional highway driving. As a result, our drivers are MUCH safer on the scary public highways! HOD drivers share a common passion, amazing experiences, BIG FUN, great friends, and a hobby/sport for a lifetime. And with run groups that include a full beginner driver development program, a well-established Intermediate group, and a very fast and competent Advanced group, the HOD ladder provides a path for everyone to achieve their individual goals. HOD is non-competitive, with drivers driving fast and well, in an environment focused on safety first, without car-to-car incidents. The result is the leading safety record in the HPDE industry and customers who are having BIG FUN, rather than stressing on the ultimate lap time or pushing too hard to pass that bully in the blue beast. HOD is also very proud of having inspired hundreds of drivers to move to racing programs, while remaining loyal to HOD, by practicing their skills with us – and referring friends and family to join the community. Many graduates are also now serving as Driving Coaches with HOD.
