=== Working Group ===

−
OSGeo systems (outside CollabNet) will need a system administration group of some kind.  That might be a formalized version of this working group (though this group is pretty focused on assessing needs rather than building out systems), a new committee (or working group) or possibly a working group within WebCom (taking their mandate broadly).  For the time being lets call this group the ''OSGeo System Administration Working Group''.

It will need to consist of trusted volunteers, since they will require priveledged access to administer the systems.  Group responsibilities will include:
 
−
 
 
−
* Setting up OSGeo systems at Telascience.
 
−
* Providing backup and recovery capabilities. A key feature we are offering projects is ''well administered'' systems to minimize downtime and other discontinuities.
 
−
* Installing software components (ie. Plone, Confluence, Trac) used for collaberation.
 
−
* Installing software for testing and demonstration (ie. our software and dependencies).
 
−
* Installing and managing authentication services (ie. LDAP).

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

This group is no longer active - see SAC.

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

Those interested in planning and running of facilities hosted at telascience - LDAP, Geodata Repository, build and test farm, demo Software Stack - should look into the System Administration Committee

Participants

Members who defected to the System Administration Committee

Meetings and discussions

  • If necessary, start a mailing list to get this off the discuss list.
  • #osgeo on irc.freenode.net for rolling discussion - if necessary, have an irc scheduled chat.

Documents

  • Infrastructure Proposal is a work-in-progress to outline what OSGeo needs to provide, both for the running of the foundation and for the software projects, in terms of online hosted services.
  • 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.
