Open Source WG Chair selection over - Marco d'Itri to replace Martin Winter
In light of just one candidate and (so far) only positive feedback from the community and us chairs, I declare this selection over in agreement with the other co-chairs. As one of the founding WG Chairs (together with Ondrej Filip) at RIPE 66 in Dublin (first WG session at RIPE67) it's time for me to hand over the last part of the controls to new chairs. The working group started with BoF's at RIPE 66 and previous RIPE as Quagga/Bird sessions, but we liked the idea of getting the Open Source community and the Operator community closer together. Overall, I think we succeeded. We definitely had a few remarkable sessions. But this RIPE will be my 23rd RIPE as a WG chair and stepping down after more than 10 years in the same role sounds like the right thing to do. I will continue to look for other things to do in this community and potentially end up in a different role or WG as a chair in a different group. With that said, this RIPE 89 will be my last as WG chair and Marco d'Itri will start his new role as Open Source WG chair immediately after this RIPE meeting along with the existing other WG chairs Marcos Sanz and Sasha Romijn. Regards, Martin Winter Open Source WG co-chair
