Infrastructure Working Group

This is an informal Working Group established 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

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

• 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.
