type="cite">Reducing scope of OSGeo-Live for next 11.0 release
<br>
<br>
18 April 2017
<br>
<br>
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>
<br>
Factors leading to this suggestion include:
<br>
1. Some projects have dwindling communities and momentum.
<br>
2. Increased OSGeo-Live scope has increased our core maintenance
and testing.
<br>
3. Reduced engagement from projects (partly due to less core time
spent reaching out to projects)
<br>
4. Missing our first release milestone in 9 years.
<br>
<br>
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>
<br>
Questions we will ask in assessing which projects to keep include:
<br>
1. Is there an ACTIVE OSGeo-Live liaison person/people for the
project? Prior list is copied to "Contact" column at:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5BaEgQtgw4O1bXyeWMlM8XtAOhUgcjZ7Y2O0FZc2H0/edit?hl=en_GB#gid=2014800150">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5BaEgQtgw4O1bXyeWMlM8XtAOhUgcjZ7Y2O0FZc2H0/edit?hl=en_GB#gid=2014800150</a><br>
2. Has the Project Overview and Quickstart been reviewed and are
they current and complete?
<br>
3. Do OpenHub metrics reflect an active and healthy community:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html">https://live.osgeo.org/en/metrics.html</a>
<br>
4. Is the project being updated on OSGeo-Live with each release?
