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
Public Geospatial Data 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...
