<div class="">Reducing scope of OSGeo-Live for next 11.0 release<br class="">
<br class="">
18 April 2017<br class="">
<br class="">
For our next OSGeo-Live release, 11.0, we propose to reduce the number of packages included, and only support a 64 bit distribution, (32 bit will be built but not tested or officially supported).<br class="">
<br class="">
Factors leading to this suggestion include:<br class="">
1. Some projects have dwindling communities and momentum.<br class="">
2. Increased OSGeo-Live scope has increased our core maintenance and testing.<br class="">
3. Reduced engagement from projects (partly due to less core time spent reaching out to projects)<br class="">
4. Missing our first release milestone in 9 years.<br class="">
<br class="">
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.<br class="">
<br class="">
Questions we will ask in assessing which projects to keep include:<br class="">
1. Is there an ACTIVE OSGeo-Live liaison person/people for the project? Prior list is copied to "Contact" column at:
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5BaEgQtgw4O1bXyeWMlM8XtAOhUgcjZ7Y2O0FZc2H0/edit?hl=en_GB#gid=2014800150" class="">

2. Has the Project Overview and Quickstart been reviewed and are they current and complete?<br class="">
3. Do OpenHub metrics reflect an active and healthy community: <a href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html" class="">
https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html</a><br class="">
4. Is the project being updated on OSGeo-Live with each release?<br class="">
