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
