[pgrouting-users] Motion for Project Steering Commitee and call for participation

[Daniel Kastl]

Hi Miyawaki-san,

I'm glad to hear that you want to join. I already thought Orkney went
offline ;-) .... but I know it's March, and March is really busy, isn't it?

The Wiki page about PSC I wrote this weekend was just a proposal and I
copied it more or less 97% from Mapserver. Because my English vaocabulary is
not very good in that field of work.

For Venka it looked a bit scary, but I don't think it's as hard work to be a
PSC member of pgRouting as it seems to be. If anyone wants to make some
changes there, let me know. I will probably take out the IRC part.

Daniel

>> Hi pgRouting list members,
>>
>> For some time already there hasn't been much activity in source code
>> commits and new releases. The last release has been quite long time ago.
>>
>> We (Anton Patrushev and Daniel Kastl) want to boost project activity and
>> make it easier for others to join and influence pgRouting development.
>> Looking at successful OSGeo projects we think that it should become easier
>> to participate for everyone, and decisions should be made more transparent.
>>
>> To get started Anton and I are in favor of establishing a PSC (Project
>> Steering Committee) for pgRouting.
>> A good description of the role of a PSC can be found in the GRASS project
>> wiki: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/RFC1
>>
>> We believe that having a PSC would be the initial step for pgRouting to
>> become more "open", to handle project management properly, to improve code
>> quality, to hopefully extend functionality and of course to attract more
>> developers and users.
>>
>> To start an initial Project Steering Committee we're now looking for
>> candidates.
>> Since the number of people who have been involved so far is rather small,
>> we welcome anyone who has strong interest and/or motivation to participate.
>>
>> Especially I would like to to invite the following people to participate
>> in the pgRouting PSC:
>>  - Frederic Junod (Camptocamp)
>>  - Ema Miyawaki (Orkney)
>>  - Stephen Woodbridge (Imaptools)
>>  - Kai Behncke (FOSSGIS e.V)
>>  - Venkatesh Raghavan (Osaka City University)
>>
>> If any other individuals/companies are interested, please raise your voice
>> now!
>>
>> Looking forward to hear some feedback,
>>
>> Daniel
