GCompris

Sponsor: Kevin Ottens

Manifesto Compliance Plan

Values

Open Governance

Already open goverance to some extent, anyone with a KDE account can contribute, mailing list and IRC available.

Focus point: mailing list under used, people tend to mail directly Bruno in private. Proposed action: push contributors toward the mailing list for discussions.

Free Software

All GPL v3+, no brainer.

Inclusivity

No barrier known toward the contributors.

Innovation

Not really applying to this area, that said, spearhead efforts on Android, Windows port and such.

Common Ownership

All clear no known barrier, anyone can contribute directly.

End-User Focus

Perfectly in target, software for children and schools.

Commitments

  • Code of Conduct: supported
  • Contributor License Agreement: none
  • Established practices: CMake + Qt like most, code reviews except for most active core contributors
  • Source materials hosted on our git infrastructure (in playground/edu)
  • Online services, some are not on KDE infrastructure: website, wiki, mailing list, voice assets, gcompris.net emails, source tarballs, binaries for windows, mac, android (+ payment system), use KDE's bugzilla
  • KDE Licensing policy: a few copyright headers missing, otherwise following it
  • KDE branding guidelines: no reference to KDE yet
  • No patents
  • Agrees to transferring the GCompris brand in case of bus rampage :-)

Proposed actions:

  • website + wiki + gcompris.net: should propose continuity plan to sysadmin
  • mailing list: should migrate to KDE infra
  • voice assets: should migrate to KDE infra
  • source tarballs: should migrate to KDE infra
  • binaries: to be discussed on kde-community again to finally answer if yes or no we're fine with hosting on KDE infra those binaries which have a code to unlock them fully

Benefits

No brainer, already participating in Randa, posting on planet, etc.
