Description

The CS3 community and the reference implementation Reva was started a few years ago, and meanwhile the community has grown significantly. Code- and other contributions are coming in frequently. ownCloud has based it's completely new product ownCloud Infinite Scale on Reva and took a significant share on Reva and other projects of the CS3 community as well.

This talk discusses how the recent developments have influenced the work on the CS3 project and how the evolving community would benefit from changes of the project.

Concretely, it raises questions and tries to propose answers in the areas of

  • A (re-) definition of what CS3 and Reva want to be
  • The layout of the project's code and its modules
  • The release cycle and maintenance promises
  • QA improvements and best practises for quality assurance
  • The governance of the technical direction
  • Community management and communication

The hope is that this talk will accompany a fruitful discussion of the bright future of Reva as the base of collaboration.
