Hi: I'm hoping this is the correct address to start a discussion about potentially becoming an incubator project?
I'm co-PI on the Open OnDemand project (http://openondemand.org/), which is an open source project currently in use at nearly 400 research computing centers all over the world. The project has been in development for about a decade now thanks to several NSF grants. We are looking at submitting within the next month another proposal to the NSF's Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems (POSE) solicitation (https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2022/nsf22572/nsf22572.htm), which is targeted at helping established open-source projects like ours transition into a robust 'ecosystem'. A key element of that is putting in place things like governance, sustainability, and community engagement models. I was made aware of the Apache Incubator because Airavata is one of your projects. While I realize Open OnDemand might fall a bit outside your typical project, what I'm really hoping for is to find some sort of entity that we could utilize a significant portion of the $1.5M available budget from the POSE program as consultants to help with the overall process of transitioning Open OnDemand to a true open source ecosystem, since my colleagues and I have no experience whatsoever in that, nor do we necessarily have sufficient time available to execute such tasks. Is this something you all would be interested in or could provide some guidance on? Thanks. ----------------------- Alan Chalker, Ph.D. al...@osc.edu<mailto:al...@osc.edu> 614-247-8672 My working hours may not be your working hours.
