Development environment

Github is the base for the the development, technical and architecture documentation. Github allows workflows with pull-requests that can help in defining the and structuring the architecture and feature decisions.

Github Actions will be used for continues integration. Rabah has experience with this.

Communication channels

The idea of the communication is to be as open as possible (open governance). This allows other to trace requirements and join relevant conversations.

The LF energy slack channel will be the chat communinication channel for the CoMPAS project; a new Slack channel will be made.

High level and generic requirements and feature will be described in the architecture documentation on Github.

Github issues will be used for technical issues and low level requirements/userstories.

The mallinglist can de be used of more formal communication.

TSC

The technical steering committee will arrange a meeting once a month (for now). Every one can join the meeting to listen.

The project will follow the technical charter. Sander will be invited to join the TSC.

Extra question for next TSC meeting: How do we discuss existing requirements? Some kind of refinement?

Contributions

GE and RTE will try to get developers available by the end of september to contribute to the CoMPAS project.
