Group description
“Rough consensus and running code” has long been the unofficial motto of the IETF. While “running code” has traditionally referred to implementation experience, today a significant portion of that code is developed and maintained in open source communities. This reflects a deep-seated recognition that the Internet’s stability relies on the vital relationship between open source software and standardized protocols.
The Open Source at IETF Team bridges these two worlds. Our mission is to integrate open source communities into the IETF by hosting collaborative sessions at IETF meetings. The IETF Hackathon encourages development of running code related to IETF work in general, whereas this team focuses on open source code and the communities that develop, support, and use it.
In addition to the general team mailing list, this team will facilitate more focussed and topical discussions through specific lists. The current lists are below. New lists may be requested by the chairs via the team ADs.
- rtg-open-source@ietf.org (https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/browse/rtg-open-source/)
- yang-tooling@ietf.org
Though this team is organized under the Routing Area, it is open to open source communities of all parts of the IETF and complements the IETF Hackathon with building open source community relationships.
