I think we should create the PSC before trying to elaborate on any
development roadmap. Then, maybe check for OSGeo incubation? Does
anyone have experience with that? What's the best way to proceed and
how we determine PSC members?<br>

I agree this is confusing and maybe the roadmap helps
clear it up.<br>

<div>I You think about it, my proposal to PPA structure is
following:<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>* ubuntugis-development - development versions of
packages. Package version changes until they move to
'ubuntugis-staging'<br>
</div>
<div><br>
* ubuntugis-staging - staging versions which will be
prepared to move at the time of each new ubuntu
distribution release to 'ubuntugis-stable'</div>
<div><br>
* ubuntugis-stable - packages for all ubuntu distributions
(LTS an non LTS) which will never change versions for a
particular ubuntu distribution once released (only
bugfixes available) - packages for each new distribution
will be uploaded at the time of ubuntu distribution
release<br>
Packages will be supported for each ubuntu distribution
life time.<br>
<br>
* ubuntugis-backports - backported packages for LTS
distributions. Can be upgraded as time goes on for all
distributions<br>
</div>
</div>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
Maintaining packages in 'ubuntugis-stable' for LTS
distributions is long-term, responsible and boring task. This
task I see as candidate for dedicated maintainer which could
be financially supported by companies or organizations.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">I propose this structure change with
release of 14.04 LTS.<br>
