Infrastructure Working Group

This is an informal Working Group established to assess OSGeo's software infrastructure needs and provisions.

This group is no longer active - see SAC.

 * Project Infrastructure Migration is a very comprehensive overview of what tools the individual software projects are using now, both to manage their codebase and their communications.


 * Tools Spec is an attempt to write a user-oriented view of what people in different 'roles' expect to find on the site.


 * WebCom OSGeo Site Focus is a collection of site visitor use cases; when people come to the public front, what do they expect and need to find from OSGeo?


 * Geodata Repository is an overview of what metadata / archiving / redistribution facilities people have discussed wanting to offer through OSGeo


 * Software Stack is a collection of notes on what OSGeo software can be made available as a "demo stack" hosted on the telascience system.
