Vizuri has been working on a Mobile application that interfaces with the RHEVM API and allows Administrators to manage RHEV via their tablet or Smartphone. The application is targeted to run on iPhone, iPad and Android devices, but our current Proof of concept has only been tested on Android devices. Our next iteration is focused on iOS compatibility and is progressing well.
Our intention has always been to open source this project and it seems like an oVirt subproject would be the perfect place for this.
Would this be a good sub-project candidate and what steps would we need to take?
Well, I'm not on the Board to help there, but it sounds like a great idea to pursue. While you are open sourcing, you might find some of the materials here helpful: http://www.theopensourceway.org/wiki/Organizing_a_community_-_checklist http://bit.ly/TOSWWikiUpstream That is the upstream where my team at Red Hat works on this sort of "how to do things the open source way while teaching others to do the same"-material. One item I am cleaning up for putting upstream is the process we use to help open source projects at Red Hat - the process I used when checking that this oVirt open sourcing effort hit the right points. (No worries, it does, and then some!) If it might help you all, let me know, and I'll turn up the burner under that upstreaming. cheers - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
