Luka, there isn't a clear structure and most of the Working Group Activity is happening at the RIPE Meetings.
But in general, a long time ago I started the WG with the idea to have better communication between Open Source Developers and Internet Providers. Traditionally, we focus on Open Source Software focused in the networking space, but there are no fixed rules on what is included and what not. We tried to adjust a bit based on our personal experience, background and feedback from the community here on the list, during the meetings and privately. If you go to https://www.ripe.net/community/wg/active-wg/os/, then you see our charter (and some outdated examples of Open Source Projects). Most of it is centered around the meetings and the presentations there. (And there are some awesome presentation in the RIPE Archive to watch) (And if this is not clear: All the presentations can be watched live through streaming during the meeting and are available afterwards in the RIPE archive at https://www.ripe.net/membership/meetings/ripe-meetings/archive/ ) Sometimes it's an update on some Open Source project, an Outlook to a future version, discussion on funding or licensing, failed projects (always great to learn from failures from others!), Community building, Testing, etc. The list is not conclusive and we are open to anything anyone can think would help an open source project for this audience (we try to limit it a bit to Open Source in the network space, but there are no clear guidelines and we are happy to discuss how far this stretches. Also, we are only humans and some projects can be used in interesting and unusual ways) Here on the mailing list, similar topics are welcome. You will also see discussion about potential events at other conferences or discussion on some rules for conduct (as templates for projects). So basically, the community is what we want it to be. So sorry, no formal member guide.
