Draft Agenda Open Source WG RIPE 85
by Marcos Sanz 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Dear all, please find attached the draft agenda for our upcoming working group meeting during RIPE 85. Looking forward to meeting you all there, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip & Marcos Sanz Open Source WG Chairs ---- Agenda RIPE 85 Open Source WG Session Wednesday, October 26, 10:30 - 11:30 (CEST) A. Administrative Matters * finalize agenda * approval of minutes from previous WG meeting(s) * review of action list B. "Cyber Resilience Act effects on OSS", Maarten Aertsen, NLnet Labs NLnet Labs is closely following a legislative proposal by the European Commission affecting almost all hardware and software on the European market. The Cyber Resilience Act intends to ensure cybersecurity of products with digital elements by laying down requirements and obligation for economic operators. In this short talk you'll learn what to expect in the Cyber Resilience Act and why this proposal may matter to you as a developer or user of open source software. If so, let's make sure that policy makers take into account its effects on open source development by professional organisations and volunteers alike. Do get in touch with Maarten when you have similar concerns, want to team up or can help us to provide technical expertise in the right places. C. "Infrastructure as code: Managing IXP services using terraform and the IX-API", Annika Hannig The fabric of the internet in recent years has become more and more flexible. Software defined networking enabled us to provision network services in the blink of an eye. Providing services on the internet nowadays involves, rather sooner than later, dealing with things like virtual circuits, peering and route servers. All this is now part of your infrastructure - just like the cloud compute instances where you are running your applications. In this talk I will cover what is what is infrastructure as code and what is terraform. How can you benefit from this, and how this tool can be used to provision services on an IXP using the IX-API. D. "ARTEMIS: An Open-Source Tool for Detecting BGP Prefix Hijacking", Lefteris Manassakis, Code BGP ARTEMIS (Automatic and Real-Time dEtection and MItigation System) is an open-source tool to monitor, detect, and mitigate BGP hijacks. In this talk, after a short introduction to the project, we will demonstrate ARTEMIS, how it works, and how network operators can use it for real-time BGP hijacking detection. E. Lightning Talks These are short updates on different relevant open source projects. They should be 5 mins (preferably) with a maximum of 10 mins (if space allows). No formal submission required ahead of RIPE, but please send a short message to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net by noon on Monday during the RIPE if you want to present an update. Selection of talks are done on Monday afternoon.

by Martin Winter 14 Sep '22

14 Sep '22

Everyone, The fall RIPE is coming up and this is the time for Open Source WG chair elections. Nomination period is from NOW until Oct 9, 23:59 GMT Chair selection is as follows: - If there are no nominations, then it will continue as is without any vote (all three of us are willing to continue) - If there is a nomination, then we will try to decide in a consensus (between existing chairs and nominees) on how to proceed - If the consensus fails (i.e. if one of the nominations wants to force a vote to replace an existing maintainer and there is any other disagreement), then we’ll have a public vote during the Open Source WG (Consensus between existing chairs and all the nominees) See https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/open-source-working-group/open-sou… for details. So if you want to become a OS WG chair, then this is the time to do so and speak up. Please send your nomination to opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net (mailto:opensource-wg-chairs@ripe.net) If you miss this chance, then the next nomination period is in one year (each Fall RIPE meeting) The new WG chair starts after the Fall RIPE meeting. Regards, Your current Opensource WG Chairs Martin Winter, Ondrej Filip, Marcos Sanz

Open-sourcing of the RIPE NCC’s RPKI core software
by Bart Bakker 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Dear colleagues, This is a cross post from the routing-wg mailing list, as we believe this might We are pleased to announce that we have published the source code used by the RIPE NCC for the RPKI back-end (the RPKI core) under the 3-Clause BSD licence on Github: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/rpki-core The RPKI core is the RIPE NCC's software for creating and maintaining RPKI objects based on the registry's current status and publishing these in the repositories. The RIPE NCC hosts the authoritative repository internally. We use the repository on Github to publish the source code externally. The first commit is identical to the source code in the RIPE NCC's internal repository at the time of that commit. The changes between releases are squashed and published to this repository on deployment, and the `main` branch reflects the code used by the production CA. We encountered several challenges while preparing this project for an open-source release. The main challenges were that the system uses proprietary elements that were part of the revision history and cannot be made public. Furthermore, it was not possible to review all historic commits. We plan to present our challenges while open-sourcing this project at RIPE 84. If you have any questions about this change, please contact the RIPE NCC's RPKI team at rpki(a)ripe.net. Kind Regards, Bart Bakker Senior Software Engineer RIPE NCC

Dear colleagues, Are you interested in deploying IPv6, but need to learn more about how it works? Do you want to try out a technology before putting it into production? Maybe you need to just test something out? Then join us at our upcoming event RIPE NCC Open House: Building Your Own Test Labs, taking place on Wednesday, 8 December. Read more about the Open House event here: https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-bu… <https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/open-house/ripe-ncc-open-house-bu…> We will talk to two experts - Ondrej Caletka and Max Stucchi - about the different choices you should make when you want to build your own test labs. Should you use hardware or virtual machines? Which software is best for a certain purpose? Do you want to run your labs in the cloud? The experts will look at different labs they developed and analyse their choices. We will of course open the mic for your questions. You can ask questions on topics like: • Why was a certain solution used? • How much time does it take to develop? • What security issues should you be aware of Take this opportunity to learn more about building test labs and share your experiences as well. Register at: https://meeting-registration.ripe.net/meeting-pub/registration?0&meetingId=… <https://meeting-registration.ripe.net/meeting-pub/registration?0&meetingId=…> I look forward to seeing you online.
