Many of the features and enhancements that we are rolling into PeeringDB are visible through the UI and you might stumble across them, however our OAuth feature is normally under the hood so we want to draw your attention to it!

Please find more information on how we have implemented OAuth here: https://github.com/peeringdb/peeringdb/issues/131, do let us know by commenting on the github issue if you would like to see further enhancements to the functionality.

I view the OAuth functionality as one of the bigger innovations to the
PeeringDB platform in recent times. This will allow for a new generation
of tools & services to be build upon PeeringDB data & PeeringDB's
relation with its end users.

Peering Forum meetingtools could hook in a PeeringDB OAuth integration
to make the meetingtool onboarding easier. Networks that are present at
many internet exchanges would benefit from those IXPs offering to login
with a PeeringDB account rather than a IXP-specific account.

Maybe we'll get to the point where we can just hold our cellphones
together and shake, meanwhile via OAuth verification both parties know
that the other person is a representative of the ASN they claim to
represent - and the robots can proceed to set up all peering sessions.

I'm excited about this!

Kind regards,

Job
