I thought the January (1.15) release solved this ‘uncertainty’. So basically we have a clean slate. Isn’t this just a matter of adding data to both DDRs for the time being? All the updates to OpenDDR since 1.15 are clean, right...?
I am also under the impression that once DeviceMap gets its legs we will fold up OpenDDR and point everything back to DeviceMap. Right? So basically here is what I was asking for: 1) Commit all data (and code) updates to DeviceMap under the Apache ‘rules’ 2) Mirror the commits back to OpenDDR as legacy support From: Werner Keil Sent: Monday, May 27, 2013 4:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: DDR data: openddr -> devicemap Reza/all, Good point. Thanks for raising this. There could be legal/licensing issues preventing this, but from a pure technical point of view, mirroring this in either direction (from DeviceMap to OpenDDR might actually be the easier direction also from a license / legal perspective) should be not a bit issue. In a project some while ago in Austria we did that between Hg and SVN, doing the same between Git and SVN would not be too big of a deal either. Thoughts, opinions?

The OpenDDR data is at 1.18: https://github.com/OpenDDRdotORG/OpenDDR-Resources The DeviceMap DDR is using the original 1.15 data contribution: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/devicemap/trunk/openddr/data/src/main/resources/devicedata/ Personally, I feel this data is one of the cornerstones of the project. Here is my point and concern: -The DeviceMap project should be the primary source for housing and updating the DDR data. Can we please start keeping the data in the DeviceMap SVN upto date? -We need to better present this data as one of the usable aspects of this project My second point leads me to my next goal for this project which is to really revamp our website to better convey what this project is about: -Provided the latest and greatest DDR data, updated monthly. We should have a link present on our hopepage for users to easy download our DDR data -Provide source code for developers to embed device detection logic in their applications -Provide a device detection web service -Provide a way for users to test devices against our DDR solution and submit requests, bug, defects, etc. After my presentation next weekend, im going to put 100% of my effort in hitting my 4 goals for the website. If anyone would like to help, please let me know. Also, here is my VUG presentation. Please look it over and let me know if you have any feedback. http://www.rezsoft.org/vug7/dclass.ppt Thanks again for everyone’s contribution to this project! Reza
