Descoping OSGeo-Live for next 11.0 release
18 April 2017
For our next OSGeo-Live release, 11.0, we propose to de-scope what is included.
Factors leading to this suggestion include:
- Some projects have dwindling communities and momentum.
- Increased OSGeo-Live scope has increased our core maintenance and testing.
- Reduced engagement from projects (partly due to less core time spent reaching out to projects)
- Missing our first release milestone in 9 years.
We are faced with the choices of:
- Reduce quality.
- Not being considered, as quality is high priority.
- Become more efficient:
- Done already.
- Increase volunteer engagement:
- Volunteers are always welcomed.
- Find a sponsor to support core activities:
- Would be awesome, but we're not counting on this.
- Reduce scope:
- This is our most viable option.
Questions we will ask for each project:
- Is there an active OSGeo-Live liaison person for the project?
- Has the Project Overview and Qucikstart been reviewed and are they current and complete?
- Do OpenHub metrics reflect an active and healthy community: https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html
- Is the project being updated on OSGeo-Live with each release?
Key Milestones
- 5-Jun-2017 OSGeo-Live Feature Freeze (final application versions installed)
- 19-Jun-2017 OSGeo-Live delivered to UAT (final application versions installed - Beta stage)
- 24-Jul-2017 OSGeo-Live Final ISO
- 14-Aug-2017 FOSS4G 2017 Boston
