Hi everyone,

first, sorry for the interruption on the code discussion..

I'm running a Open Source Routing BoF at the next RIPE meeting 
(https://ripe65.ripe.net/) at the end of September in Amsterdam. I would really 
love to get someone (or more) working on XORP to join in some form at the 
meeting and give a (very short, ie 5..10 min) talk on the highlights of XORP, 
where to use it, strengths etc.

We had a quite successful roundtable at the last RIPE meeting, but 
unfortunately only with people working on Quagga and Bird. 

The goal for this meeting is to see if there is potentially enough interest to 
start a Open Source Working Group at RIPE and have regular updates and 
interaction with the ISP to promote an open source alternative in the ISP 
community (Not necessarly restricted to Routing software, but at least a heavy 
focus on it).

Any chance for anyone to join the next RIPE meeting? Or if not, then maybe 
someone is willing to "donate" a few short slides to explain the goals and 
where XORP is used? I'm a Quagga person and really don't know enough about XORP 
to speak about it.

Here is the (current version) of the abstract of the BoF session:
> Abstract:
> This roundtable is planned as an interactive session on open source software 
> in the community. We will begin with an update on Quagga and Bird and then 
> have an open discussion on issues, suggestions and visions related to the 
> projects. If you maintain any other Open Source software relevant for the 
> RIPE community and want to make a quick presentation as well, then please 
> contact the presenters. We would be happy trying to include additional 
> projects

I'm happy to change the abstract to officially include XORP if someone wants to 
join. 

Regards,
   Martin Winter
