Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Labs
Frank, Looks like it just needs some fleshing out in the details, you didn't leave much out. :c) One question, should the templates be focused or somewhat generalized so a single template can work for all, or maybe some general questions with a business/technology focused group of questions added on, there may also be need to have a set of question related to the specific project itself, possibly originating with the author, I like the second method, because it allows some flexibility in how the interview can proceed, the general questions can be sort of the base stuff that everyone should answer, that sort of thing. bobb On Oct 6, 2007, at 1:10 AM, Frank Warmerdam wrote: blammo wrote: All, This is the exact type of thing I was thinking about for project promotions that OSGEO could be instrumental in. I also had a thought related to this, this afternoon, related to this, I was thinking about a project classification of OSGEO Registered for use by any project that applies in any way shape or form, then there is a list of project to keep track of, then you could put as many intermediate steps or tiers in place over time to progress projects against. I would be interested in (trying) to help with something like this, but I wouldn't want to examine the same types of projects that I'm trying to promote, I would need to do other different types of projects. You might start things out by setting up a few questionnaires that interviewers could start from for the different types of projects as templates, and then let the interviewers go from there, should keep things similar in nature between projects but also allow for the interviewers to dig deeper if needed. Bob, I've written up a few of my thoughts on a revitalized Spotlights effort at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Spotlights While clearly you can't interview yourself I don't see any big issues with conflicts of interest on related projects as long as you can keep enough distance to ensure the result is reasonably understandable to the general OSGeo audience.

Bob, I see the template questions being quite different for people, sponsors and projects, but I also think they should just be a starting point and the interviewer and interviewee should have quite a bit of freedom to go where they need. I've added a list under editors for potential editors to indicate an interest in helping.

(hint, hint!) http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Spotlights#Editors I've been following this thread with interest and I'm willing to conduct interviews with Spotlight candidates, so I've added my name to the wiki page. To maintain a pace, as Frank suggested, of a few interviews a month, several editors will be needed. And furthermore some mechanism is needed to connect between each spotlight candidate and a certain editor.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Labs
All, Frank Micha, Ok, I added myself to the list too. So, what's first, trying to set up a template? Who's going to be the first (new) guinea-pig for a subject? should we try setting up the template based on a known subject or a made up one? I'm mostly interested in new projects at this point. But I'll try anything once. bobb On Oct 6, 2007, at 10:41 AM, Frank Warmerdam wrote: blammo wrote: Frank, Looks like it just needs some fleshing out in the details, you didn't leave much out. :c) One question, should the templates be focused or somewhat generalized so a single template can work for all, or maybe some general questions with a business/technology focused group of questions added on, there may also be need to have a set of question related to the specific project itself, possibly originating with the author, I like the second method, because it allows some flexibility in how the interview can proceed, the general questions can be sort of the base stuff that everyone should answer, that sort of thing.
