[openadx] OpenADx - Eclipse Working Group

["Riexinger Andreas (CC-AD/PRM-P)" <Andreas.Riexinger@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

 

as we presented at the OpenADx Workshop #4 in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, we would like to become an Eclipse Working Group.

 

Why do we want to become an Eclipse Working Group?

 

The Eclipse Foundation provides a Legal Framework for Discussion and Collaboration:

• to prevent Anti-Trust issues
• a Legal Entity for common work, e.g., hosting/imprint of Website, domain ownership
• a member neutral promotion organization
• a funding body for common funded projects
• a marketplace for idea sharing and solution provisioning
• Application of Eclipse Foundation mechanisms like the open standardization process

 

Our Ideas we have therefore

• Neutral Community Manager, organizing and fostering the community
• Neutral Web Portal for AD solutions (including but not exclusively those provided by working group)
• Commonly funded development projects
• Commonly funded standardization projects
• Tradeoff: Openness for collaboration vs. dependable planning and achievements in work packages

 

 

We think about two phases for setting up the working group:

 

• Phase 1 – Incubation period (1 year – start after community review – see also Working Group Process -> https://www.eclipse.org/org/workinggroups/industry_wg_process.php)

• Open Charter
• Preparation of Working Group Collaboration and Charter
• Initiation of First Work Package(s)
• Process creation

• Work Package proposals
• Working Group Funding
• Steering Committee and Decision Making

 

• Phase 2

• Final Charter for Working Group Work
• Established Work Packages
• Defined Processes

• Steering Committee
• Funding

 

 

I ask you to support us in defining both phases!

(I am currently in clarifications with the Eclipse Foundation, what will be the prerequisites for participating in Phase 1, so I will keep you posted!)

 

Please give me feedback, if you will join Phase 1!

 

Thank you for your answer!

 

Best,

Andy

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
