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.
From our options of reduce quality, become more efficient, increase volunteer engagement, find a sponsor to support core activities, and reduce scope, reducing scope is our most viable and acceptable option. Other ideas are welcomed.
Questions we will ask in assessing which projects to keep include:
- 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)

- 24-Jul-2017 OSGeo-Live Final ISO
