Hello,
if you were at Akademy, you heard me present about the Open Invention Network (OIN) \
[1], one of the community sponsors of our conference. OIN is a royalty-free patent \
pool that creates a patent-non-aggression zone for free software by building a \
massive cross-licensing network. What software is covered by this cross-license \
agreement is defined in the OIN Linux System Definition (the details are all public \
on our web site, see below). I manage the process of maintaining and updating the \
Linux System Definition for OIN.
KDE software is covered in the definition, but not in the latest version. KDE 3 and 4 \
packages are included. I would like to see the KDE frameworks and key shared \
libraries included. The system definition includes reusable components, applications \
("leafs" of the dependency tree) are usually not included. The Linux System is \
updated every 18-24 months. We just finished one round of updates, so now is a good \
time to think about nominating updates to the latest versions of "legacy" KDE \
packages, and nominating new packages for inclusion.
I am looking for somebody in the community to act as a "champion" for these \
nominations. Since I am involved in the review process in a stewardship role, I \
cannot also act as the nominator. The job entails working with the community to \
select the packages, put them all together in a spreadsheet, and then working with \
the OIN tech committee until the nomination is accepted. This needs to be completed \
by roughly mid 2019.
Who wants to work with me on that?
Best,
Mirko.
