Re: [Live-demo] Fwd: About mapslicer/maptiler related to openHub

2017-04-25 Thread Cameron Shorter 

Hi Angelos,

So what do you suggest we do about MapSlicer? I'm wondering whether the 
project is still a good candidate for including on OSGeo-Live.


1. Is the project still useful and used?

2. Does the project have a community behind it?

3. Do we have a point of contact for the project?

4. If we do keep the project, I suggest we should create OpenHub metrics 
for it.


Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Vicky,

Mapslicer was forked from MapTiler in the past (since MapTiler
went proprietary), so there was never an OpenHub page. We tried to
keep this project alive.

Hi Angelos, ActivityWorkshop,

OSGeo-Live automatically show metrics from openHub [0]. During
our visual inspection we found that openHub has a delay on
updating the metrics, and we plan to contact OpenHub to update
the metrics of all the OSGeo projects, including yours.

But before doing that, we need to verify that we have the
correct information about your project [1] and that the code
locations [3] are reviewed by your openHub manager [2].

Can you please have a look at your project’s OpenHub settings
and reply to confirm that the information is correct.
I volunteered to gather the information, so you can reply to
me directly.

Re: [Live-demo] [OSGeo-Standards] What should we do about OGC Standard writups on OSGeo-Live

2017-04-25 Thread Cameron Shorter 

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your response and URL. Could you please update us on current 
status and schedule for OGC documentation.


* Is the documentation at 
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html considered 
draft, ready for production, other?


* Is there a maintenance program in place to ensure that this 
documentation is continuously kept up to date? Eg: to update existing 
documentation whenever a new standard is published.


* It appears that the URL provided only mentions WMS KML, SLD, SE, CSW 
standards. Is there any commitment to generate documentation for other 
standards?


Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Cameron,

OGC would very much like to be the source of documentation where 
possible to keep you from duplicating effort! Perhaps you could link 
to our material where it is current and useful (as you referenced in 
your mail) and I will be sure to keep you informed as we accelerate 
our “implementer-friendly” standards documentation. Examples of such 
documentation can be found here:

http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html

Where the OSGeo community has developed superior documentation, you 
may want to stick with that material until we get our material ready.

To date, OSGeo-Live documentation has included write ups of a number

However, this documentation hasn't been maintained for a number of years.

As we go through rationalising what we continue to include on 
OSGeo-Live, we are wondering what should be done about OGC standards 
text on OSGeo-Live.


I'm aware of the OGC has created some material [2], which on first 
glance looks to be more complete and more current than the OSGeo-Live 
material.


I'm interested to hear thoughts (especially from the OGC) on what we 
should do in moving forward.


* Should we drop OSGeo-Live write up of OGC Standards all together, 
as it is not core business of OSGeo? (This would free up some space 
on OSGeo-Live)


* Should we provide a reference to a OGC Standards URL? If so, where 
would that be?


* Should we make a copy OGC standards into OSGeo-Live docs? If so, 
who will take responsibility for writing and maintaining the build 
scripts.


* Would the OGC want to investigate using OSGeo-Live's existing 
translation community to translate OGC docs? If so, how should this 
be approached and who would like to coordinate it?


Thoughts will be welcomed.

Re: [Live-demo] Motion: Move from 2 releases to 1 per year

2017-04-25 Thread Daniel Kastl 
I think rolling releases would be nice.
If a project has a new release and misses the deadline for a new OSGeo Live
release, it will have to wait another year.
Or even worse, if a new release contains a bug, it will be difficult to
provide a fix for a long time.
However, the arguments for one release per year are absolutely valid.

How about a mix of both?
I think there are projects, that are fully or almost automated, and that
rarely cause problems.
Projects, that follow certain criteria to allow automation, could be
included in rolling releases, and projects, that require a lot of manual
work, will only be updated once per year.
Eventually this will help to push some projects to provide Debian packages,
and some projects that update rarely, will probably be OK with one release
per year.

All,

I like the rolling release idea, it will allow for a always up to date version 
of things.  The Stable (yearly) release will always be floating in the 
background too.  Not so sure about the Yearly release schedule though.  Maybe 
Yearly at a minimum?  There might be those instances where a yearly cycle won’t 
sync up with OSGeo project, event, etc.

Still a +1

We will likely also be putting out rolling releases which have been untested.

Reasons:

* As per prior discussions, we want to use our volunteer time more efficiently.

* We have improved build processes to be agile and efficient. However, our 
final test process still has significant manual testing. In particular around 
reviewing and updating documentation, and testing quickstarts.

Please comment and or vote on this proposal.
