Agenda and goals

  • discuss charter

  • identify ideas/topics to pursue

  • determine workflow for preparing recommendations

  • schedule next meeting

Notes

Created a Google Drive folder to hold task force documents.

Discussion covered:

  • place for finding collaborators, what exists, and where interests lie
  • question of maintenance, who will test for new releases or update contributed app’s code?
  • based on past involvement in a number of open sourced projects, success/popularity is rare, more likely to be a few people involved, often the creator doesn’t want to be the gatekeeper for good
  • what do we do when the maintainer is no longer interested in the app/tool created?
  • would a Github organization that forks community repos work?  Not safe to assume everything is on Github.
  • discussed current catalog of Apps & Tools.  Need to better organize and keep up to date.  Should we contact each of the maintainers?
  • we need broad categories of problems/solutions for supporting tools e.g: visualization, search, client side tools,
  • leave room for emerging areas that haven’t been explored much

Action items

  • Ted will review the current list of apps & tools and determine who needs to be contacted about the status of projects
  • Will start a document for drafting recommendations
