Modelado Foundation Value Proposition

Target Communities

Existing XStack Projects

• Project on xstackwiki main page

Value-Add

Community Development

• What is this?

Collaboration Infrastructure

• xstackwiki
• mailing lists
• conferencing/meetings
• multi-project coordination (e.g. coordinated high quality releases)
• release engineering (build/test/deploy)

Project Infrastructure

Team Collaboration

• git repos (public and private)
• gerrit
• bug tracking
• distro creation and deployment
• integration (e.g. single sign on, gerrit+git, tooling/IDE, etc)

Services and Tools

• git/gerrit
• bug tracking
• IDE/tooling
• web server (distros, repos)
• automated build/test/CI

Open Source Process

• How does/can/should 'open development' work in the large? (many projects, many developers, many years, many consumers)
  • Example: Eclipse Development Process
• Maintain quality (over teams, releases, etc)
• Continuous Innovation

Provisioning - Build/Test/Deploy/Install/Update

• apt, rpm, osgi, etc

Maintenance and Support

• No HeartBleed. Avoid Tragedy of the Commons Problem
• Support Contracts with Enterprises, Developers, Users

IP Management

• Licensing for commercial and non-commercial distribution models
• consistent, clear policies wrt copyright, licensing, patents

Project Mentoring, Education, and Training

• Project Education: Rhythm of Open Development
  • Releng 'in the large' (100 projects, 1000 developers, > 1 million consumers)
• Developer Education: How to use exascale APIs, sw abstractions, tooling (debuggers, etc)

Architectural Coordination, Collaboration, and Direction

• Councils: e.g. Architecture and Planning Council at EF
  • Open, based upon participation, not controlled by one or few members

SW Integration Services

• Exascale Computing for Data Analytics
• Simulation for Scientific Computing...i.e. Research and Education
