As one of the world's largest vendors of modems and routers for carrier applications, making use of OpenWrt in a significant share of our install base, we want to support this initiative in a meaningful way. Concretely, we are willing to open source Technicolor's in-house TR-069 solution and thereby contribute to OpenWrt:

That is really nice to hear. For me personally it looks like the remote
management with TR-069 and similar protocols is one of the biggest
extensions commercial vendors add to the user space of OpenWrt to make
it fit their needs.

In addition to the TR-* family does this also include support for SNMP,
MIB, NETCONF, YANG ?

As a next step, we recommend to organize a workshop, at a practical location and time, where we put everything on the table and define the most appropriate path forward to the benefit of OpenWrt as a whole.

That's good to hear, would it also be possible that other interested
people can join such a workshop?

More than on the protocol itself, we believe that we should focus on the architectural enhancements required to support remote management in general.
