Please note although these might sound like rhetorical questions they are not, i am honestly interested in how the board envisions this to work. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
Re: [OSM-dev] Restarting the EWG
Hi Paul, Thank you for this announcement. Wouldn't improving OSM API with valuable features be appropriate with such a funding? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.7 How does OSMF feel about that?

[OSM-dev] Restarting the EWG
The OSMF Board is looking at restarting the Engineering Working Group with a revised scope to include handling paid software development. This scope needs to be developed with existing and new volunteers, but my ideas are that it would include - Google Summer of Code, - managing development to be paid by the OSMF by contracts and grants, and - collaborating with other organizations for multi-organization grants. It would do this by by - placing calls for proposals for paid work on topics like top ten tasks; - accepting other proposals; - defining an approximate distribution of OSMF funds for development between primary/secondary/tertiary services, external services, and new services; - encouraging applications from skilled individuals who aren't professional developers, professional contractors, companies, and others. Once the scope and funding distribution guidelines are defined we would want to start with low-risk projects involving experienced people who need less management. If you are interested in changing the EWG to handle these roles, please let me know. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
