hackathon discussion at RIPE 78 opensource-wg session
by Charles Eckel (eckelcu) 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

Happy New Year Everyone! RIPE has hosted several very successful RIPE NCC Hackathons. I have helped IETF and MEF start and run a series of Hackathons. I spoke about these at RIPE 76. There was a suggestion from Vesna at that time to create a common page on which we post information about such events. The current RIPE hackathon page (https://labs.ripe.net/hackathons) is a good start. I would be happy to add to this. I would like to propose having some time at RIPE 78 to discuss open source efforts like these various hackathons, what is working well, what is not, and how we can improve them. For example, the IETF hackathons need to be better about turning hackathon code into contributions to projects that are easy to find, use, and contribute to any time rather than just in the context of the hackathon. Another example is competition. Some people think hackathons are perceived as being too competitive and non-inclusive. I do not agree, and I try to make it very clear that the IETF hackathons are collaborative and open to newcomers, but the fact I need to keep stating this means there is a problem and an opportunity to do something better. What do others think about having some time in the opensource-wg to share information, ideas, issues, and potential solutions? Would it be better to have a workshop? What about doing both? Martin and Ondrej, I understand this is your call to make, so I hope you do not mind me posting here to help get a sense of interest and help refining the idea. Cheers, Charles

FOSDEM DNS devroom CfP
by Peter van Dijk 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hello Open Source WG, After a successful and packed half-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2018, we are happy to announce a full-day DNS devroom at FOSDEM 2019. As with last year, we hope to host talks anywhere from hardcore protocol stuff, to practical sessions for programmers that are not directly involved with DNS but may have to deal with DNS in their day to day coding or system administrators responsible for DNS infrastructure. We have been allotted a room on Sunday 3 February 2019. We expect to schedule 30 minutes per talk, including questions, but if you need more or less time, we can discuss this. If you have something you’d like to share with your fellow developers, please head to pentabarf at https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM19. Examples of topics are measuring, monitoring, DNS libraries, and anecdotes on how you’ve (ab)used the DNS. Here’s the 2018 schedule, for your inspiration: https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/track/dns/ . The deadline for submission is December 1st. If you have a FOSDEM pentabarf account from a previous year, please use that account. Reach out to dns-devroom-manager(a)fosdem.org if you run into any trouble. See you there! Cheers, Peter van Dijk, Shane Kerr, Pieter Lexis, and Kees Monshouwer

DMARC Solution Applied to this Mailing List
by Adam Castle 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Dear Working Group, As more email providers enable Domain Message Authentication Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), some people find they can no longer receive emails from the mailing lists they are subscribed to. We have deployed a Mailman setting change to address this problem. After consultation with the RIPE Working Group Chairs, we have enabled the DMARC "Munge From" setting on all RIPE mailing lists. This means that if your email service provider has DMARC enabled, you will continue to receive all emails sent to this mailing list, but the "From" part of the header will change. If you don't have DMARC enabled, you won't see any change to the emails you receive from this mailing list. You can find more information about how we have been handling DMARC in the following RIPE Labs articles: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/dmarc-and-the-ripe-ncc https://labs.ripe.net/Members/adam_castle/ripe-mailing-lists-and-dmarc To ensure all working group participants are aware of the changes, I am sending this mail to all working groups. If you have any questions or encounter any issues on this mailing list, please let me know. Many thanks. Adam Castle Web Services Manager RIPE NCC
