This is a proposal for a Working Group to assess OSGeo's software infrastructure needs and provisions.
Focus
- Assess the OSGeo community's needs for code management and collaboration tools, particularly collecting requirements and feedback from the Incubation Committee and Website Committee
- Offer recommendations on future development directions to the Board
Participants
- Frank Warmerdam
- Jo Walsh
- Schuyler Erle
- Please add yourself
Meetings and discussions
- When there's enough to chat about, suggest a chat session time (perhaps one that works well with the existing Website Committee timings?
- If necessary, start a mailing list
Documents
- 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.
Use Cases
Non-software/operations Committee use case
The Geodata committee is the first attempt at moving forward on a non-software project Committee that isn't concerned with OSGeo internal operations, so we are figuring out a lot as we go along.
- Wiki works well for sketching out rough requirements - e.g. Geodata Repository
- Wiki doesn't work well as a shared editing environment for pages which are destined to go onto the "Official" site - e.g. Geodata Homepage Draft
- We need some way to get multiple authors working on pages for the "official" site, without having to check them back into a live repository on subversion, or branch the pages and then re-merge them...
