Re: OpenSource vs. IETF Standards

Hi Max,

There have been a several conversations on this topic and I am sure there
will be many more as there are logical connections between open standards
and open source.  There are also very clear points where the two are not a
fit, for instance, when there is no need for multiple interoperable
implementations.

One of the discussion threads has been around CodeMatch (described in the
following google doc):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12kbFDwzhecC1DLtVEo3ruLuFZMCtiSwd5US0I44v96Q/edit#heading=h.pz5w8aj4nbgs

I posted it to this list and a couple of other lists and integrated
feedback received.  I do have a couple of comments that need to be worked
into the document that were received last week, but it is otherwise
up-to-date.  A mailing list was set up for those interested in helping to
develop the idea and we met while in Toronto to determine next steps.  The
mailing list for those willing to help develop is 
CodeMatch-develop(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org.
 When we are ready to test out it's use, there will likely be another list
for users of CodeMatch (meant for standards and open source participants).

Dear IETF-ers,

At the last ietf (90), it was mentioned that extensive discussions about
the relationship between IETF standards and OpenSource have taken place..
and I was wondering if anybody could point me to the archives of that
thread.

I am asking because I definitely do not agree with what has been said at
the meeting - but I would like to understand the reasons for those
statements by reading about what was discussed.
