Taking about https://lf-energy.atlassian.net/wiki/display/SHP/OpenSCD. Asking about clearance for starting with maintainership responsibilities.

Repository maintainer (as currently defined):
Ultimate authority on a specific OpenSCD plugin/core. The maintainer is trusted to make decisions for a specific set of functionality bundled within a plugin/functionality.
The maintainer's responsibilities include:

  • Coordinates development/review work in the repository


  • Controls access to the repository


  • Prioritizes work in the repository (where possible)


  • Is responsible for the quality of the code / quality level / architecture


  • Prepares and authorizes releases of the repository


  • Enforce a proper code/solution architecture to keep the maintainability and flexibility in the future


  • Make any decisions on the direction of the repository


Daniel mentions ownership of plugins. Number of public repositories: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/26054

GitHub Actions: https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions

Would be good to define the home of the plugin, so we do not get abandonware.

Fred: Oepn source was discussed more in PACworld; Questions where asked

Product vision:
    The current description is lacking a marketing pitch. It should get a high level vision where people can relate to.
    Fred mention that the product vision needs to more end-user focused; 
    Tamas suggests: Open substation communication designer
Other suggestion: add digital substation;
The OpenSCD is not checked against trademak issues
Fred does not want to invest time in the product vision / 

Christian: place reminder in the calender to discuss the
