Goals

  • Meeting with Steering to review the purpose and objectives of the Roadmap Council

...

  • Goal is to talk a bit about two topics
    • The recurring theme of Roadmap Council - what it is expected to do vs. what it is really chartered to address
    • If the council is doing what it is chartered to do, then how do we communicate this to the community?
    • Charter is not to create a single roadmap for the community, but instead to try and align various efforts within the community

Roadmap Council Purpose and Goals

  • When the Council started, this was chartered to bring together representatives for service providers, representatives from interest groups, and working groups to align project goals
    • Coordinating and communicating regarding community sprints was also a significant undertaking of this group
    • Every IG and WG defined their documents differently - the Roadmap Council first saw to try and standardize this by offering templating
    • Beyond this, there was a whitepaper published addressing the state of the technology in the community
    • Roadmap Council meets every two weeks
  • Project Management and Community Sprints
    • This Council was chartered to assist with managing and aligning these
    • 2020 saw an entire year of activity, along with a retrospective
      • Three Goals:
        • Analysis of roadmaps and planning cycles
          • The results of this will be presented during the next Partner Call
        • Facilitating to get code back into core
        • Communicating with the community at large
  • When we discuss facilitating contributing to core, is this murky or problematic?
    • If so, what are the obstacles?
    • It comes with challenges given the size of the community, and it will never be trivial
      • There have, however, been real successes
      • User management pieces in Hyku were extracted into a Gem and shared with Hyku and Avalon
        • Who contributed to this?
          • Avalon Team contracted with Notch8, Northwestern paid for the feature with grant funding
        • Roadmap Council makes these efforts known, and interested parties could request involvement and contribute funding or resources
