Subject: [saag] Important open-source activities...
Precedence: list

Hiya,

The IESG have recently been discussing how the IETF would
work better with or for open-source communities. As part of
that it'd be good to get some appreciation of which open
source activities folks consider important (and why). And
of course there are multiple directions here - e.g. where an
IETF activity has fed directly into an open-source activity
and the opposite where the IETF end up documenting something
already done by some open-source community.

As part of that analysis, an utterly reasonable question
was asked: yeah, but which open-source things are important
to IETF participants?

So, which bits of open-source do we in the security area
of the IETF consider important and why? And what could
we do better? (For any sensible definition of "we":-)

BTW, those are deliberately open questions - answer in any
way you like, (but pithily please:-) to the list or to
Kathleen and I off-list if need be. (If we see a bunch of
offlist answers, we'll summarise those back to the list.)

And since this is really information-gathering, there's
no need for us to disagree with one another on the list
(but I expect we won't resist that specific temptation, as
usual:-)

Thanks,
S.
