OSGeo-Live metrics going public in next release
DRAFT
1 February 2016
With the upcoming OSGeo-Live 9.5 release, we will make OpenHub metrics very visible, adding a "Metrics" tab from the main OSGeo-Live page, which links to our existing OSGeo-Live OpenHub summaries.
Most OSGeo-Live projects have very compelling metrics, demonstrating an established and active development community. However, there are a few projects where OpenHub metrics are dated, incorrectly suggesting a lack of project activity. As such, I encourage all projects to review their OpenHub metrics before the next OSGeo-Live release, and update where appropriate.
Start by looking here: http://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html
About OSGeo-Live
OSGeo-live is a Lubuntu based distribution of Geospatial Open Source Software, available via a Live DVD, Virtual Machine and USB. You can use OSGeo-Live to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything.
Projects being considered to be retired from OSGeo-Live
Following on from reviewing OSGeo-Live metrics, there are a couple of projects which we consider are candidates for retiring from OSGeo-Live.
- GpsDrive - no recent activity. Has critical errors preventing building. https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1601
- tinyOWS - no recent activity, and open errors: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1233
- QGIS Server - should this be merged into QGIS?
We are interested to hear feedback or comments on whether these projects should or should not be retired.
