[OpenWrt-Devel] [OpenWrt] TR-069 for OpenWrt

[Eric Schultz]

Jos and Dirk,

I'm delighted to hear that Technicolor is making their TR-069 solution open
source. When prpl proposed funding this work, I don't think any of us had
the sense of how many folks wanted to contribute in this area! Making more
code open source is always a positive in my book so bravo!

There do seem to be two areas of exploration here:

* Support for TR-069 and the various protocols details
* Integration into OpenWrt, including improvements to generalize the work
to support new protocols.

I think your idea for an in-person workshop is a great idea. While we were
planning on having a online meeting with the interested parties, I think an
in-person workshop is an even better idea. There's a lot of potential code
on the table and related projects to fund. I know from prpl's perspective
we want to make sure the result is valuable to industry and the community.
I don't want to put everyone on the spot so I'll contact individually
Felix, Luka and Wotjek and get their feedback (unless they'd like to
comment here). If everyone's in agreement, we can work out a time and place
that works well for everyone.

Thanks,

Eric
