464XLAT / RFC 6877 [Re: IPv6 Only Testbed at RIPE68]
by Tore Anderson 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi all, For those of you who are Linux users (or BSD/OS X hackers¹), and happen to encounter an application or service that doesn't appear to work correctly when connected to the IPv6-only network - do try and see if 464XLAT (RFC 6877) solves the problem before giving up and connecting to the default dual-stacked network. A Linux implementation can be found here: https://github.com/toreanderson/clatd I'd appreciate any feedback, suggestions, bug reports, and so on. I'm unfortunately not in Warszawa, but I am available on IRC (nick "tore"). [1] While clatd is developed and tested only on Linux, I believe it should be possible to port it to BSD/OS X. The actual RFC 6145 packet translations is performed by TAYGA (http://www.litech.org/tayga/) and as long as TAYGA works (I've never tried, but it is available in FreeBSD ports), it ought to be possible to adapt the currently Linux-specific commands in the clatd script that set up the network environment to their BSD/OS X counterparts. Patches are welcome! (Cc: opensource-wg) Tore * Marco Hogewoning > Welcome to Warsaw. Following the discussion at RIPE 66, and a > successful experoment in Athens last autumn, the IPv6 Working Group > is happy to provide you with an experimental network that is > configured to offer only IPv6.

Reminder: RIPE soon - last call for presentations
by Martin Winter 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Just a friendly reminder: The RIPE is coming up very soon. If you would like to give a presentation during the OpenSource WG session, then please contact us (the WG chairs) as soon as possible. We would like to finalize our agenda soon. (And if you haven't considered a presentation and are thinking about presenting something: At the last RIPE the suggestion came up for someone to talk as a user of OpenSource software in a ISP / Network provider to talk about the experience. Success(es), failure(s), etc.). We don't have a volunteer yet for this talk and would love to have someone talking about their experience. Either at this RIPE or the next one. Contact us if you think you might be able to do this) Thanks, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip OpenSource WG Chairs

call for chapters: Societal Benefits of Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge Resources
by Oswaldo Terán 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

*CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS * *Deadlines: 2st Proposal Submission: February 28, 2014; Full chapters: May 30, 2014.* Societal Benefits of Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge Resources A book edited by Oswaldo Terán and Jose Aguilar To be published by IGI Global: *Introduction* Freely accessible technologies and knowledge resources have generated important societal benefits and have become highly valuable and promising. They have been possible thanks to Free and Open Source Technology development projects, involving diverse communities and social processes. Very well known cases are the communities developing Linux, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Wikipedia. The maturity of these communities has allowed the emergence of Associations, Institutions and Foundations, such as, the Free Software Foundation and the Open Source Initiative. Also, communications via conferences, online networks and online platforms in order to increase community synergy, performance and impact, have appeared; *e.g.*, the software platform management and repository: http://sourceforge.net/. Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge Resources have a strong potential for generating Social Benefits (Endogenous Development, Social Autonomy, Social Self-Organization, Education and Learning, Organisational and Institutional improvement). Their promise resides in both the potential to create local communities cultivating their own know-how in accordance to the local social needs, and in the applications of their products. This has been particularly well cultivated in the traditions of ancestral societies. This book aims at contributing in understanding better and collecting relevant experiences in this subject, addressing issues such as the conceptualization of the phenomena, difficulties and challenges, as well as valuable applications. *Objective of the Book* This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential reference source, building on the literature and experiences going on in Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge Resources, opening possibilities for further research in this dynamic field. This text will not only contribute to the communities and researchers working in covered issue to have a common reference to understand better the phenomena they are involved in, but also to provide the resources necessary for policy makers, technology developers and managers to move and adopt Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge Resources. *Target Audience * Free and Open Source Knowledge and Technology communities, policy makers, academicians, researchers, advanced-level students, technology developers, and government officials will find this text useful in furthering their work, activities, and research exposure to Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge, assisting them in strengthening and advancing their own efforts in this field. *Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:* - Societal Impact/ Benefit of Freely Accessible Technologies - Societal Impact/ Benefit of Freely Accessible Knowledge Resources - Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge and Social Self-Organisation - Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge and Cultural/Social Autonomy - Free and Open Technologies and Public Policy - Freely Accessible Technology and Knowledge for Education and Learning - Freely Accessible Technologies and Sustainable Development - Organizational applications of Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge - Free Technologies and Production Chains - Future of Freely Accessible Technologies and Knowledge (globally or regionally, e.g., in China, in Europe, in LatinAmerica, in North America, in Africa, etc.) · Legal issues in Freely Accessible Knowledge Resources and Technologies · Free Technologies and Knowledge in Ancestral Communities and Societies *Submission Procedure * Full chapters are expected to be submitted by *May 30, 2014*. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Proposal should have: title, abstract, keywords and justification of the proposed chapter. Proposals should be submitted at: https://www.igi-global.com/login/?returnurl=%2fpublish%2fcall-for-papers%2f… *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com.

21 Oct '13

I hope everyone enjoyed the OpenSource WG at this past RIPE 67 in Athens. I would appreciate any feedback about the session (either on this list or mailed privately to the WG chairs at opensource-wg-chairs(a)ripe.net) Logistics? Selection of presentation? Quality of presentations? Quite a few things probably went wrong and I would really like to improve whatever we can for the next RIPE meeting. So please be open with feedback. For the ones who missed the RIPE, the talks and transcripts are online at: https://ripe67.ripe.net/archives/#Wednesday Thanks, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip (OpenSource WG Chairs)
