Contribution and credits policy BCP draft
by Maria Matejka 09 Aug '24

09 Aug '24

Dear fellow OSS WG participants, following up on my talk today, I'm sending here the BCP draft for further discussion. > Open-source projects SHOULD publish their contribution and credits policy and > be open about how (and if) people can contribute. Open-source project > maintainers SHOULD adhere to the published policy and update it when > circumstances change. > > To create such a policy, maintainers can use a [policy guide](https://github.com/contribution-credit/policy/blob/main/policy_guide… > as a starting point. Maintainers are advised to be as open and friendly as they can. For reference, you can also [replay my talk](https://ripe88.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/) or [see RIPE 87 OSS WG session](https://ripe87.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/os-wg/). And here are some previous relevant threads in this list: - [first draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2023-December/… - [second draft](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-January/0… - [article at LWN](https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/opensource-wg/2024-May/000270.… And that's probably all information you may need for context so please comment and roast this BCP draft. Happy contributing and crediting! Maria -- Maria Matejka (she/her) | BIRD Team Leader | CZ.NIC, z.s.p.o.

"The European Union must keep funding free software", open letter to EU about NGI
by Vesna Manojlovic ＠ RIPE.net 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

Dear community, this is an open letter, published by more than 42 organisations & individuals, as a reaction to the announcements by EU to stop funding NGI: https://pad.public.cat/lettre-NCP-NGI Next Generation Internet (NGI) programmes, since 2020 part of European Commission's Horizon programme, fund free software in Europe . This year, according to the Horizon Europe working draft detailing funding programmes for 2025, NGI is not mentioned any more as part of Cluster 4. Therefore, I share this call with RIPE community, to gather support & influence EU to keep on funding free software. Regards, Vesna Manojlovic -- Senior Community Builder RIPE NCC
