[opensource-wg] OpenSource Discussions at upcoming RIPE Meeting

Hey everyone,

things are slowly moving into place. We now have a slot at the next RIPE meeting in Dublin, but still trying to confirm the length of it. We hope for a 2 hour slot as it was discussed at the closing plenary during the last RIPE meeting.

We have a few ideas on what should/can be presented, but would love to get more feedback from the community. Is there some OpenSource software you are using in your network and we should try to get some of the authors to attend? Maybe you know them personally? Anyone here involved in OpenSource and wants to give an update on the project?

Additionally, I would like to do some roundtable to talk about financing OpenSource software. I would love to get a few people involved in OpenSource projects to come and talk about their success and struggle - and have a discussion with the community on why they give (or don't give) any support in financial or any other ways to an opensource project.

Now is the time to speak up: What do you like to hear / discuss in relation to OpenSource software? Which projects should we try to invite?

Discussion is open...
