I understand the value of keeping history. Unfortunately, our IP
Policy right now doesn't permit this. But I'd like to see if we
change that in 2017.
The next steps are for you and Rob to create the organization.
Please be sure to follow the trademark usage guidelines. It needs
to be clear that the organization is at "arms length" from
LocationTech.
If an example will help, take a look at what Nedecho did with
Dirigible Labs
https://github.com/dirigiblelabs/dirigiblelabs
Note that I'm going to ask him to include a trademark statement
in the readme.
Note also that this is still a new enough concept for us that we
may ask for some tweaks (e.g. make the Eclipse Webmaster an
owner).

Hi Wayne,
That all sounds great. I think Rob's suggestion would almost
involve having a GitHub organization where we could spin up a new
project, contribute code, and see how things go.
If the project works out, it'd be great to move the project
between organizations and keep the history (assuming we had a
handle on the IP chain the entire time).
Is that kind of thing possible here? Also, what are the next
steps? Are Rob and I permitted to create a locationtech-labs
organization on GitHub?
Cheers,
Jim

My apologies for the delay.
There is precedent.
My further apologies, this hasn't made it into the
LocationTech version of the handbook yet, but the section on
"Community Portals" [1] mentions "Labs" sites as a specific
example. As long as the trademark usage guidelines for
LocationTech and other EF trademarks are observed, the EMO
will approve a request to create a "LocationTech Labs"
organization on GitHub.
Note that if you make the people who participate sign the
ECA, then moving their contributions into an official
LocationTech project later will be much easier.
HTH,
Wayne

Hi all,
I just wanted to give this a post-weekend bump; I think having
a way to test out shared code would be awesome!
Thoughts?

Hey PMC,
I'm proposing this idea: creating a GitHub
organization called "LocationTech-Labs", or some similar
name, which could house repositories for projects that
are not quite LocationTech-proposal-ready, but are being
hacked on by cross-organization locationtech committers.
These projects would follow the IP Due Diligence in the
hopes that the projects would get to a point that a
proposal and incubation makes sense.
This arises from the fact that the GeoTrellis team
and the GeoMesa team are combining forces for hacking
out python bindings for our frameworks. It's both a
feature we are currently working on for our separate
projects, and we figured it would be best, and most in
the spirit of LocationTech's mission of collaboration,
to work on them together. We have some code from each
side that we want to put into a single place. There's
other places we could host it (e.g. the GeoTrellis
GitHub organization); however the idea is that these
python bindings would eventually be a separate
collaborative incubating LocationTech project, and it
would be great to start in a repository that isn't
"owned" by any one of the contributors and is
LocationTech branded.
If this is a good idea, and if it's ok to call the
thing "LocationTech-Labs" or something similar what has
LocationTech in the name, I'd like to create one today.
I would give admin rights to eclipsewebmaster, and
invite PMC members (who's github handles I know) onto a
team that has write access and the ability to create new
repositories.
/ccing Wayne and Paul, who specifically I would like
to weigh in on the idea of creating an org with
"LocationTech" in the name, and if that's copacetic for
a PMC member to do.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Rob
