[opensource-wg] Open-sourcing of the RIPE NCC’s RPKI core software

Hi Bart,

> We are pleased to announce that we have published the source code used
> by the RIPE NCC for the RPKI back-end (the RPKI core) under the 3-Clause
> BSD licence on Github: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/rpki-core
> 
> The RPKI core is the RIPE NCC's software for creating and maintaining RPKI

> repositories.

Great to hear and congratulations to the RIPE NCC for their decision 😊

> We encountered several challenges while preparing this project for an open-
> source release. The main challenges were that the system uses proprietary
> elements that were part of the revision history and cannot be made public.
> Furthermore, it was not possible to review all historic commits. We plan to
> present our challenges while open-sourcing this project at RIPE 84.

That sounds most interesting! Would you like to share all of this at one of the plenary sessions or you'd rather prefer a slot at the opensource wg?

Best regards and have a nice start in the week!
Marcos
