At the last RIPE meeting we discussed the start of a new working group related to Open Source Software in the RIPE community. The (current proposed version) of the charter was discussed a bit in this list in last october. The idea is to make a final decision (to go forward or not) on the WG at the upcoming RIPE meeting in Dublin and I invite everyone who is interested to join the mailing list https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/opensource-wg Feel free to subscribe and join the discussion on creating the new working group and the topics we try to cover at the upcoming RIPE meeting. If you have an opinion on what should (or should not) be part of the working group, then please join the list and express your opinion. Regards, Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip
