Subject: [opensource-wg] Call for Opensource-WG Presentations (RIPE73,
	Madrid)
Message-ID: <42B5E7CF-2836-4E6D-A2CF-9B6B8316409F@netdef.org>

The next RIPE Meeting is coming up again - your chance to present about 
some interesting Open Source

If you would like to give a presentation during the OpenSource WG 
session, then please contact us (the WG chairs).
In general, each talk is 15-30 mins (depending on how much time is 
needed).

If you have some idea and not sure how/if you should present something 
then feel free to contact us as well to discuss the idea.

For small project updates, we are planning to reserve 30 mins again at 
the end of the WG session.
These short 5..10(max) min updates/talks are decided on the day before 
the WG session on a time/space available base.
No need to submit anything for these talks at this time.

Thanks,
   Martin Winter & Ondrej Filip
   OpenSource WG Chairs

Subject: [opensource-wg] Call for OpenSource WG Chair Nominations (due by
	Sept 11, 23:59 GMT)
Message-ID: <DA15B803-21F8-493C-9492-7F0D1A51BD13@netdef.org>

Everyone,

The fall RIPE is coming up and this is the time for Open Source WG chair 
elections.

Nomination period is from NOW until Sept 11, 23:59 GMT

Chair selection is as follows:
- If there are no nominations, then it will continue as is without any 
vote (both myself and Ondrej are willing to continue)
- If there is a nomination, then we will try to decide in a consensus 
(between existing maintainers and nominees) on
   how to proceed - i.e. replace someone or add someone as a 3rd 
maintainer)
- If the consensus fails (i.e. if one of the nominations wants to force 
a vote to replace an existing maintainer and
   there is a disagreement), then we?ll have a public vote during the 
Open Source WG
   (Consensus between existing maintainers and all the nominees)
See 
https://www.ripe.net/participate/ripe/wg/open-source-working-group/open-source-wg-chair-selection-process 
for details.

So if you want to become a 3rd WG chair (not replacing any existing ones 
or if you want to force a re-election
vote against a specific (or any) current WG chair, then this is the time 
to do so.

Please send your nomination to opensource-wg-chairs at 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,
    Martin Winter
