IETF | IETF Code Sprints

The IETF works on a broad range of networking technologies that provide the foundation for the Internet's growth and evolution.
While most IETF work takes place online, meetings and other events such as Hackathons provide in-person opportunities to advance work within the IETF.
The IETF is the premier Internet standards organization. It follows open and well-documented processes for setting these standards. Once published, those standards are made freely available.
The global IETF community works together in many different ways to produce high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet.
By supporting the IETF today, you are ensuring a free and open Internet exists tomorrow.
IETF Code Sprints develop the tools that support the work of the IETF.
IETF Code Sprints, organized by the IETF Tools Team, bring together volunteers from the IETF community to work on code for the IETF Datatracker, mailing lists, and other tools used by the IETF community. Some people may be working on improvements in existing functionality, others may be adding exciting new functionality. IETF Code Sprints are held in conjunction with each in-person IETF Meeting and also online between in-person meetings. All code will becomes part of the open source tools used to develop IETF specifications.
The Code Sprint for IETF 127 will be held on Saturday, 14 November 2026. Details about the next Code Sprint are posted to the codesprints mailing list and/or the Code Sprint notes page for the meeting just before the sprint is held.
The Code Sprint for IETF 128 will be held on Saturday, 06 March 2027. Details about the next Code Sprint are posted to the codesprints mailing list and/or the Code Sprint notes page for the meeting just before the sprint is held.
