Open Source Cluster Breakout [1]
The ESIP Open Source Cluster breakout will consist of:
- A short introductory session to the goals and accomplishements of the Open Source Cluster (Licensing advice; governance and foundation models; community models; and best practices for open source) - Chris Mattmann will give this
- Short "lightning talks" from presenters culled from calls on the [email protected] [8] and to other open source communities. We will solicit open source talks from popular foundations including Apache, Eclipse, and also from within the science and technical communities.
- A discussion of next steps for the Cluster in terms of relationships to other ESIP groups (Products + Services; Geospatia; Cloud Computing, etc.)
We anticipate a lively discussion, opportunity for training in open source, and important outcomes including new case studies that the group will take on as posed by the audience, and from the discussion.
