<p>Dear Angelos,<br>
<br>
in the first place, thank you for accepting the evaluation of the
ETF for its incorporation to OsGeoLive and the great work for the
Community.<br>
In this regard, we would kindly like to know if you have any
estimated date when to provide us with that feedback.<br>
</p>
<p>Additionally, as we are very committed to the inclusion of the
project in OSGeoLive (and assuming that it is not approved), we
would like to progress with further actions on our side,
requesting information regarding the next steps to take, if
possible. We are following the instructions on the wiki [1] and
also going through the repositories and observed the inclusion for
other projects, but we would like to know if we are in the right
track.</p>
<p> Thank you in advance.<br>

<br>
<br>
o *What does the application do and how does it add value
to the <br>
GeoSpatial stack of software? * <br>
+ It is an open source testing framework that allows <br>
validating spatial data, metadata and web services in
<br>
Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) according to
defined <br>
Abstract Test Suites and Executable Test Suites.
Executing <br>
these validations may increase the level of
interoperability <br>
of SDIs by improving the compliance of geospatial
data, <br>
metadata and services. <br>
o *Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which
versions <br>
of the standards? Client or server? You may wish to add
comments <br>
about how standards are used. * <br>
+ The ETF testing framework allows GIS data providers
and <br>
solution providers to check whether data sets,
network <br>
services and metadata meet the requirements defined
on <br>
specific Abstract and Executable Test Suites. The
concepts <br>
in ETF are based on ISO 19105 and the OGC
Specification <br>
Model which underpin the standards used in SDIs. <br>
+ Validation capabilities span a wide range of OGC
standards. <br>
For example, tests to validate WMS, WMTS, WFS, WCS,
SOS and <br>
CSW are available, which are also partially reusing
the OGC <br>
TEAM Engine suite. <br>
o *What language is it written in? * <br>
+ Java, HTML, JavaScript, CSS <br>
o *Which version of the application should be included in
the next <br>
OSGeo-Live release? * <br>
+ ETF 2.0 <br>
<br>
* *Stability is very important to us on OSGeo-Live. If a new
user <br>
finds a bug in one application, it will tarnish the
reputation of <br>
all other OSGeo-Live applications as well. (We pay most
attention to <br>
the following answers): * <br>
o *If risk adverse organisations have deployed your
application <br>
into production, it would imply that these organisations
have <br>
verified the stability of your software. Has the
application <br>
been rolled out to production into risk (ideally risk
adverse) <br>
organisations? Please mention some of these
organisations? * <br>
+ European Commission, Joint Research Centre (use of
the ETF <br>
testing framework as the core component of the
INSPIRE <br>
Reference Validator) <br>
+ Organisations in several EU Member States at the
national <br>
and regional level (using the ETF testing framework
to <br>
replicate the tests of the INSPIRE Reference
Validator <br>
and/or extending these tests to include tests to
check <br>
compliance with national requirements) <br>
o *Open HUB <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.openhub.net/__;!!DOxrgLBm!UvR1kftQcLgI0pIHnKKusY23bweSMhF9CdWZjAsWPgY49H9cK9Rs5HIqNIO4Ob1OtMqComw$"><https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.openhub.net/__;!!DOxrgLBm!UvR1kftQcLgI0pIHnKKusY23bweSMhF9CdWZjAsWPgY49H9cK9Rs5HIqNIO4Ob1OtMqComw$></a>

<br>
Could you please ensure that your project is registered
with <br>
Open HUB, and Open HUB has been updated to reference the
correct <br>
code repository(s) for your project. What is the Open HUB
URL <br>
for your project? * <br>
+ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.openhub.net/p/etf-validator">https://www.openhub.net/p/etf-validator</a>
<br>
o *What is the size of the user community? You can often
answer <br>
this by mentioning downloads, or describing a healthy,
busy <br>
email list? * <br>
+ There is a mature user community developed around the
main <br>
implementations of the ETF testing framework. For
example, <br>
the number of downloads of the INSPIRE Reference
Validator <br>
(the most popular implemetation of the ETF) is
approximately <br>
between 1 and 3 hundreds for each release (see <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp">https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp</a>

href="https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp"><https://hanadigital.github.io/grev/?user=etf-validator&repo=etf-webapp></a>)
<br>
and the discussions in the issue tracker demonstrate
the <br>
healthy and busy user community (see <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/">https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/</a>

<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/"><https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/issues/></a>).
<br>
o *What is the size of your developer community? * <br>
+ Currently, the developer community is mainly limited
to the <br>
two organisations which are funding the development
of the <br>
ETF, i.e. the European Commission and interactive <br>
instruments (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en">https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en</a>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en"><https://www.interactive-instruments.de/en></a>).
Sometimes, <br>
developers from organisations deploying the ETF at
their <br>
premise contribute code with ad hoc pull requests.
Funding <br>
to improve the developer community is currently
available <br>
and the submission of the ETF to the OSGeoLive is one
of the <br>
steps to increase such community. <br>
o *Do you have a bug free, stable release? * <br>
+ Yes, ETF 2.0 is the latest stable release: <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0">https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0</a>

href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0"><https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases/tag/2.0.0></a>
<br>
o *Please discuss the level of testing that your project
has gone <br>
through. * <br>
+ The ETF has a continuous integration cycle
established in <br>
the GitHub repository, where contributions to the
source <br>
code (which have to adhere to the contribution
guidelines <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Contribution.md"><https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Contribution.md></a>)
<br>
pass through automatic validations. Subsequently, the
<br>
changes are manually reviewed and approved by the ETF
<br>
Technical Committee <br>

href="https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Technical_Committee.adoc"><https://github.com/etf-validator/governance/blob/master/TOR/Technical_Committee.adoc></a>.
<br>
o *How long has the project has had mature code. * <br>
+ The project is active since 2007 (see <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases">https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases</a>
<br>

href="https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases"><https://github.com/etf-validator/etf-webapp/releases></a>);
the <br>
latest stable release (v.2.0) was released in 2019. <br>
<br>
* *OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications that people can use
rather <br>
than libraries. Does the application have a user interface
(possibly <br>
a command line interface) that a user can interact with? (We
do make <br>
an exception for Incubated OSGeo Libraries, and will include
Project <br>
Overviews for these libraries, even if they don't have a user
<br>
interface.) * <br>
o Yes, the ETF testing framework has a user interface. <br>
<br>
* *We give preference to OSGeo Incubated Projects, or Projects
which <br>
are presented at FOSS4G <br>

* *With around 50 applications installed on OSGeo-Live, us core
<br>
packagers do not have the time to liaise with every single
project <br>
email list for each OSGeo-Live release. So we require a
volunteer <br>
(or two) to take responsibility for liaising between
OSGeo-Live and <br>
the project's communities. This volunteer will be responsible
for <br>
ensuring the install scripts and English documentation are
updated <br>
by someone for each OSGeo-Live release. Also test that the
installed <br>

2. Install .deb files from a PPA <br>
3. Write a custom install script<=== preferred option* <br>
* <br>
*Can you please discuss how your application will be
installed. * <br>
o Write a custom install script <br>
* *OSGeo-Live is memory and disk constrained. Can the
application run <br>
in 512 Meg of RAM? * <br>
o No. A machine with at least 4 GB Ram (8GB are
recommended, 16 GB <br>
and more if a large set of XML files are tested) <br>
* *How much disk space will be required to install the
application and <br>
a suitable example application? * <br>
o It depends on the tests executed, but 1 GB HDD can be
enough. <br>
* *We aim to reduce disk space by having all applications make
use of <br>
a common dataset. We encourage applications to make use of
the <br>
example datasets already installed: * <br>
