I'm just going to reiterate the call for interested people to contact
me. I'm not on the board, but restarting or forming a working group
isn't something that needs to the board to start off

The OSMF Board is looking at restarting the Engineering Working Group
with a revised scope to include handling paid software development.
This scope needs to be developed with existing and new volunteers, but
my ideas are that it would include
- Google Summer of Code,
- managing development to be paid by the OSMF by contracts and grants,
and
- collaborating with other organizations for multi-organization grants.
It would do this by by
- placing calls for proposals for paid work on topics like top ten tasks;
- accepting other proposals;
- defining an approximate distribution of OSMF funds for development
between primary/secondary/tertiary services, external services, and
new services;
- encouraging applications from skilled individuals who aren't
professional developers, professional contractors, companies, and others.
Once the scope and funding distribution guidelines are defined we
would want to start with low-risk projects involving experienced
people who need less management.
If you are interested in changing the EWG to handle these roles,
please let me know.
