(Initial description of the 2021 incarnation of EWG)
After a period of inactivity, the '''Engineering Working Group''' has been re-established by board decision on 2021-07-30. The group is still in its infancy and is welcoming additional members!
The '''Engineering Working Group''' is being brought back in a different form for 2017. The primary aim in the short term is to coordinate "Google Summer of Code" projects (see [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-02-28|kick off meeting notes]]). Beyond that the future direction remains to be set.
 
== What we do ==
EWG existed for a long stint between 2011 and 2015 with the mission to assist and guide the community-driven development of OSM-related source code and tools, including
 
The Engineering Working Group is charged with
* Running events that help developers connect with people with ideas (e.g: designers, usability experts).
* Creating and maintaining resources to lower the barrier to entry into the OSM development community.
* Guiding the development process by suggesting priorities and setting goals.
* Providing assistance for [[Engineering_Working_Group/Developer_Events|Developer Events]].
 
* Handling software development paid for by the OSMF
The Engineering Working Group can be reached via email at engineering@osmfoundation.org
* Putting out calls for proposals on tasks of interest, and accepting proposals on other tasks
* Offering a platform for coordination of software development efforts across the OSM ecosystem
* Managing OSM’s participation in software mentorship programs
 
For handling paid development, "tasks" include development of new features, maintenance of code, documentation, and other tasks that improve the developer experience. We encourage applications from skilled individuals who aren’t professional developers, professional contractors or companies, as well as those who are. In our first round we will look for projects that don’t need much management and will apply the principles of the [[Hiring Framework]].
__NOTOC__
 
We encourage standardization and shared efforts between projects by bringing together developers with similar interests. This work also includes responding to emails and directing people at other people or appropriate resources.
== 2013 Plan ==
 
== Join us ==
 
We are looking for people with experience with the OSM software ecosystem, developing software, or managing software development.
[[File:EWGPlan2013.pdf]]
 
While we're in the process of setting up an official email address, please reach out by contacting one (or more) of the EWG's members directly.
== Minutes ==
 
== Who we are ==
Minutes for meetings (& IRC logs) in reverse chronological order:
 
* [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/pnorman Paul Norman]
=== 2020 ===
* [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Tordanik Tobias Knerr]
* [[osm:User:Roland.olbricht|Roland Olbricht]]
* [https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/rsavoye Rob Savoye]
* Adam Hoyle
 
== Prospective budget ==
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2020-04-16|16 April 2020]] - GSoC proposals
 
Our first budget will outline further detail, and is subject to change after the WG forms and we have initial meetings.
=== 2018 ===
 
* Estimated 50k initial budget, same scale as microgrants
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2018-04-05|5 April 2018]] - GSoC proposals
* 50% of funding to core OSM software used to edit OSM or OSM-specific software run on the OpenStreetMap website
* 15 March 2018 - GSoC
* 30% of funding to OSM QA and analysis tools and OSM-specific software in common use (category named TBD)
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2018-03-01|1 March 2018]] - GSoC, TTT
* 20% of funding to consumer-facing OSM software and new software
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2018-02-13|13 February 2018]] - GSoC, TTT
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2018-01-15|15 January 2018]] - GSoC planning
 
All code written must be open-source and available without charge.
=== 2017 ===
 
We would like to budget for administrative assistance for meeting minutes, document management, and other administrative tasks and believe this is best handled through existing contracts the board has in place.
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-08-29|29 August 2017]] - flying GSoC students to FOSS4G.be
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-06-22|22 June 2017]] - grading the TTT short list
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-05-30|30 May 2017]] - minor updates on ongoing projects, mailing list
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-05-02|2 May 2017]] - grading TTT, the mailing list and sponsoring events.
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-04-21|21 April 2017]] - a slight trouble with the GSoC slot allocation.
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-04-11|11 April 2017]] - grading GSoC students, got 70 ideas for TTT.
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-03-28|28 March 2017]] - GSoC is going its way; preparing the TTT list.
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-03-14|14 March 2017]] - pinging GSoC mentors and the Top Ten Tasks thoughts.
* [[Working Group Minutes/EWG 2017-02-28|28 February 2017]] - kick off and GSoC coordination.
