Thanks for the idea, David, and for being the first NuPIC-Community project.
Here's how this will work.... 1. https://github.com/orgs/nupic-community is not owned by Numenta, but by the NuPIC community itself. It is a group project, currently with three "owners" (David, Fergal, myself). Any owner has administrative rights to projects in the repository. As new projects are submitted into nupic-community, the maintainers of each project will be added to the owners list. 2. Projects within nupic-community must be open source, but can have whatever OS license they wish (as long as it's legal*). 3. Numenta has no control over projects within this GitHub organization. Each project continues to be copyright of the author(s). 4. The Numenta Contributor License does not apply to repos in nupic-community (unless you desire it). 5. The Numenta open source development process [1] and workflow [2] also do not apply (unless you desire it). 6. Anyone may ask to transfer ownership of their repository into https://github.com/orgs/nupic-community, and I encourage you to do so. 7. Project owners are responsible for handling the day-to-day operations of their projects. This includes development process, dealing with contributions, issue tracking, etc. 8. This mailing list may be used to discuss projects within nupic-community (if this becomes distracting to uninterested parties on the list, I will create a new mailing list dedicated to nupic-community projects). In short, this is really just a way to collect NuPIC-related open source projects into one place and encourage community development and cooperation. I really hope this becomes a hotbed of NuPIC activity, and THE place to go see what people are doing with NuPIC. Do you have an OS project that uses NuPIC or toys around with HTM theories? If so, consider making https://github.com/orgs/nupic-community your project's home. You'll get more visibility, you'll automatically be associated with the leading NuPIC-inspired projects that community members are producing, and you'll still have the same control of your code, licenses, and copyrights. * IMPORTANT NOTE: Because of the nature of GPLv3, projects that in any way include Numenta intellectual property or NuPIC source code (or deploy with NuPIC code) MUST stick with the same GPLv3 license of NuPIC. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html for details.
