<hr />
<div>This is an effort of the [[Infrastructure Working Group]] to produce a definitive baseline spec for what online services the OSGeo Foundation, and the Foundation's projects, really need in order to be able to do their thing will full visibility, legitimacy and interconnectedness.<br />
<br />
== Critical Services ==<br />
<br />
=== Code versioning / repository ===<br />
<br />
'''Candidate:''' Subversion.<br />
'''Constraints:''' need to be able to import full version history from other SVN/CVS instances <br />
<br />
=== Mailing lists ===<br />
<br />
'''Candidates:'''Mailman (preferred),Sympa<br />
'''Constraints:'''<br />
* Needs searchable, index-friendly web archives <br />
* RSS feeds out very desirable<br />
* Web forum integration quite desirable<br />
<br />
=== Bug Tracker ===<br />
<br />
'''Candidates:''' Trac (preferred), RT (undesired), Bugzilla<br />
<br />
=== LDAP ===<br />
<br />
'''Candidates:''' OpenLDAP<br />
<br />
Centralise user management details. Used to store rights and permissions to distributed OSGeo systems, ideally also to SVN and bug tracker. <br />
<br />
=== DNS === <br />
<br />
Ideally with management UI so it's easy for nominated OSGeo people to create new subdomains when/if needed.<br />
<br />
=== Web Publishing System ===<br />
<br />
'''Candidates:''' Drupal/Civicspace (current [http://osgeo.osuosl.org prototype]), Plone/OpenPlans (possible future more application like goals)<br />
<br />
Needed for the foundation website at minimum.<br />
<br />
Nice to be able to offer to projects which are unhappy with the solution they currently have (GRASS,MapGuide in particular) but not obligatory for all to use. <br />
<br />
* See [[Drupal Portal]] for current CMS thinking for the main web site. <br />
* [[Web Migration Map]] covers not only web publishing but also web front-ends for other kinds of services and how persistence and ease of movement is going to happen.<br />
<br />
== Other less project critical but still desirable services ==<br />
<br />
=== Wiki ===<br />
<br />
=== Build/test farm ===<br />
<br />
[[OSGeo BuildBot Configuration]]<br />
<br />
[http://buildbot.sf.net Buildbot]<br />
<br />
=== Software stack demo site ===<br />
<br />
See [[Software Stack]] for rough old notes on how this could be. Space at this for telascience - many components necessary for a shiny [[Geodata Repository]]<br />
<br />
=== Geodata Repository === <br />
<br />
See [[Geodata Repository]] for outline - hosted at telascience<br />
<br />
''Please add more if you think of them... i'm sure i've forgotten some stuff''<br />
<br />
=== Community Tools ===<br />
<br />
General suite of tools that would put OSGeo on top, adding value to membership and engaging members<br />
