After a period of inactivity, the '''Engineering Working Group''' has been re-established by [[Board/Minutes/2021-07#Vote_to_approve_the_proposed_Engineering_Working_Group_charter\|board decision on 2021-07-30]]. The group is still in its infancy and is welcoming additional members! == What we do == The Engineering Working Group (EWG) is charged with * Handling software development paid for by the OSMF == Prospective budget == Our first budget will outline further detail, and is subject to change after the WG[[Working_Groups\|Working Group]] forms and we have initial meetings. * Estimated 50k initial budget, same scale as [https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/File:Microgrants_working_document_snapshot_2020-01-13.odt the trial run of microgrants in 2020]. * 50% of funding to core OSM software used to edit OSM or OSM-specific software run on the OpenStreetMap website * 30% of funding to OSM QAquality assurance and analysis tools and OSM-specific software in common use (category ~~named~~name to be ~~TBD~~determined) * 20% of funding to consumer-facing OSM software and new software == Meetings and minutes == A schedule for Engineering Working Group (EWG) meetings is still to be determined. See [[Engineering_Working_Group/Minutes]] for meeting minutes of the EWG's [[Engineering_Working_Group/History\|previous incarnations]].
