1. dev.globus a framework for open Globus development Lisa Childers Argonne National Laboratory University of Chicago

2. ISSGC, July 2006 2 Why is Globus Software Open Source? l To allow for inspection u for consideration in standardization processes l To encourage adoption u in pursuit of ubiquity and interoperability l To encourage contributions u harness the expertise of the community

3. ISSGC, July 2006 3 Why is Globus Software Open Source? l But distributing code under an open source license does not guarantee open development! l Open development requires open processes l So we have created dev.globus to facilitate contributions u http://dev.globus.org/

4. ISSGC, July 2006 4 The Details: What is dev.globus? l Governance model (based on Apache) u individual development efforts organized as projects with consensus-based decision making l Infrastructure u code repositories (CVS, SVN), mailing lists, issue tracking (bugzilla), build system, wikis

5. ISSGC, July 2006 5 Three Types of dev.globus Projects l Projects that produce technologies u GridFTP, RLS, Java WS Core, … l Projects that produce documentation l Projects that produce distributions u The Globus Toolkit is a dev.globus distribution project Several projects now up-and-running, with more on the way

6. ISSGC, July 2006 6 You Can Begin Participating in Globus Development Today! l Monitor and comment on Globus development discussions; recent threads include: u GT 4.1.0 release production work (gt-dev@globus.org) u On GRAM JSDL support (gram-dev@globus.org) The Globus mailing list page: http://dev.globus.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists l Submit bug fixes and other contributions l Start your own Globus project!

7. ISSGC, July 2006 7 Incubator Process in dev.globus l Entry point for new Globus projects l Process facilitated by the Incubator Management Project u from first contact to becoming a Globus project l More information on the incubator process http://dev.globus.org/wiki/Incubator/Incubator_Process
