Download PDF (326 KB)

Fedora Commons is happy to post the draft of the first Fedora Commons Technology Roadmap. This is the beginning of a community process for governing technology development in Fedora Commons. The roadmap summarizes the strategic vision of Fedora Commons that guides development, documents the themes and priorities of our community summarizing the needs we will address, and provides a plan for the software releases we hope will enable those who adopt our technology.

This draft presents our:

  1. Vision — Information on the Fedora Commons organization and its strategic goals.
  2. Themes and Priorities — Describes the application areas, strategic use cases, and requirements characterizing the purposes and needs which Fedora Commons is working to satisfy. This section also helps describe the scope and priority for our work.
  3. Release Plans — Lists Fedora Commons' development projects and their work products including a timeline for their availability.

This is a draft and a living document. In the future it will be moved into a new Fedora Commons Wiki as an interactive service to keep users, developers, vendors, and decision makers informed on progress towards software releases and provide community access to development tools that encourage participation. But don't wait, please join the process and send us comments by email, on the Fedora Wiki, or –best– on the fedora-commons-users mailing list on SourceForge.net.

The most current Engineering Punchlist is available in the March issue of HatCheck.
