Re: [location-iwg] Important: Top Level Project charter
FWIW, outreach is usually not included in these charters. It's a) an assumed activity and b) not really a defining part of the technical scope. 

HTH.

I missed your deadline; as I could not get this until my lunch break.

The one item touched on in the "mission" but missing from the scope is an "outreach" activity; basically packaging up spatial and toning down the expertise required to integrate this functionality in a business application context.

Quick attempt at a scope item:

* Bridge the gap between business application development and decades of spatial technology and terminology

(Yes this serves overlaps slightly with "Apply Model based design in the context of …."  but Model based design is just one approach)

Hi Guys,

Great to see work going on here with respect to spatial data systems.

If it's any help at all here was the charter that we used in the Apache SIS project,
started at the Apache Software Foundation in 2010:


Some of the Apache stuff won't apply but it will give you some idea of the type
of scope/etc. that you guys may want to deal with, or complement.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Everyone,

Our development process requires that we create a top level project (TLP). This project does not contain code and serves to define the roles and responsibilities within projects. Closely related with this top level project is a project management committee (PMC) which helps guide projects under this TLP.

It is likely that we'll create a TLP for each core area (mapping, storage & processing, etc.). For now, it makes sense to get started with a single common TLP.

I've written a first draft and posted it here in the wiki where others can review and contribute to it: http://wiki.eclipse.org/LocationTech/TechnologyTLP

If you would, please do take a moment to read and contribute feedback. The charter for this project is not long - roughly a page in length.

Sorry for the short notice... we would like to finalize this so that it can be shared with the Eclipse Foundation board for approval this month. Missing this deadline means we wait 1 month for the next board meeting which we'd like to avoid. Please send any feedback by 8pm EDT on Tuesday September 11th.

I will be continuing to edit and make revisions myself to factor feedback provided & what I learn from other TLP charters.

Thank you very much!

Andrew
