As mentioned at the end of today's Open Source WG Session, I would like to discuss and get some thoughts from the community on this topic. Recap for the ones which missed the session: The last 2 RIPE meetings were virtual without the usual hallway talks. Our current charter states: "The aim of the Open Source Working Group is to foster discussion among developers, Internet Service Providers and the rest of the RIPE community about open source projects related to the RIPE community" With virtual meetings, the "discussion" outside of the short WG session is much more difficult. RIPE is doing a good job trying to keep the RIPE as a "meeting" and not turning it into a "conference", but the lack of the physical meeting changes many things. Probably much easier to attend, but then some Open Source contributors prefer to meet with the community and get a 2-way exchange. I don't necessarily think we need to change anything, but I would like to have this discussion here on the list to see if there are ways to improve on how we function as a WG. If you have any good ideas, then go ahead and mention them here. Please keep in mind that this is not a discussion of virtual vs physical meetings. That decision is up to RIPE, not the WG. This is just on how we, as a WG, could potentially work better on virtual meetings. Let's discuss. Any cool ideas? Martin Winter Open Source WG Co-Chair

I found the SpatialChat thing surprisingly nice for the "hallway discussion" part. (I'm generally somewhat sceptical on "fancy new things", but it *really* worked well for meeting old friends, drifting towards some discussions and away again, and all this) Gert Doering -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?

For the online IETF 108 and 109 Hackathon, we made use of gather.town with some success. The IETF chartered a working group to address the topic, "Stay Home Meet Only Online (shmoo)", https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/shmoo/about/. One of the drafts discussed within the content of this working group is one I put together for running the IETF Hackathon, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-eckel-shmoo-ietf-hackathon/. The draft covers IETF Hackathons in general, with some sections devoted to online only versions of it. Comments and contributions on the draft are welcome. You are also encouraged to read and comment on the summary of the recent IETF Hackathon, https://www.ietf.org/how/runningcode/hackathons/109-hackathon/.

good to see the new documentation about Hackathons! Would you like to publish a short summary on RIPE Labs?

I hope you find it interesting -- it was very different from our previous events, both for being online-only and for focusing on adding only one SW to multiple HW platforms, some existing & some new...
On 10/30/20, 3:20 AM, "opensource-wg on behalf of Gert Doering" I found the SpatialChat thing surprisingly nice for the "hallway discussion" part.
We have used SpatialChat too, in addition to Zoom - for exactly those reasons: it's more informal, and sparks creativity through being able to be more "silly" and less serious... And because there are multiple "rooms" available, just like in the real hackathon. So people could gather based on preferences: languages, projects, spaces to relax...

Great post. Thanks for sharing. It is really helpful to hear both what worked well and what did not in order to help improve future events. That said, congrats on the great accomplishments of the breadth of participation.
