Meeting proposal to organize the project #6778
Comments
I'm in! Despite the current state of affairs, OSRM is still the best open-source option out there for some use-cases, plus it has a somewhat huge user-base, so we probably have some margin to make things move forward. |
I'm in as well. |
@DennisOSRM @danpat @mjjbell @SiarheiFedartsou interested as well ? |
👍🏽 |
I'd love to sit in. Never really had the chance to work myself into OSRM, the interest is still there though |
Definitely 👍 |
I'm interested, but honestly my current level of participation is about my limit, so I'm not sure I have a lot to offer these days. Raising small children and spare-time open source contributions are not very compatible. |
I know that feeling :) But yes, definitely up for this. |
I think it would be a good idea! Maybe some map-companies would be interested to support the further development of this project. |
Sorry for the late response. On a practical note, it looks like the Discussions tab is enabled now, so we can encourage the use of that to alleviate Issue pollution. |
I am interested in this meeting, if it has not happened yet. Let me know! |
I am interested too! |
I'm interested too! |
I'm interested too! let me in. |
Hey, I just got an idea. Opinions? |
Love the initiative. Yet, OSGeo isn't OSRM. Can you elaborate a bit more on the goals? |
Well, it would be nice to at least have more people in community who can constantly contribute into OSRM with new features, bug fixes, code reviews etc(I believe it is hard to argue, that there is a problem with that now, right?). May be it is too naive, but I thought that joining it could help with it 😀 I was thinking about different ways of how can we attract new people and probably financing (or some another form of support) from such foundation could help in it. But frankly I did have a chance to only read a very brief info about that, so I will invest more time collecting info on the topic... |
My feeling is that the main thing that would change the momentum is a clear governance model, and joining a foundation might indeed help for that. During the Mapbox days, that has never been an issue: there was a roadmap and manpower to push things forward, whatever the direction. This has been highly beneficial for the project, but probably most users have become accustomed to just wait for new releases. We need to acknowledge that just waiting for the open-source magic to happen is currently not enough. Joining some kind of foundation could help with bringing a community of users together (companies, institutions, individuals), and asking the right questions about how to define the common high-level goals and find ways to achieve them together (direct contributions? funding? hiring maintainers?). |
I would like to propose a meting to state on the project and see what we can do to organize a bit.
I have in mind how we can merge acceptable long stating PR, and more. Like make new release new, fix CI, enable the Github community forum to avoid stacking help requests in the issues...
I don’t know if it is the case, but maybe we can raise some fund from company using it to this pay this maintenance job, or even make new devs.
