Project Meeting 2018.08.02

Project Management / Pooled Funds Collaboration

• We discussed ownership of VE resources now that the pooled funds contractor has been selected. A few ideas discussed include:
  • VisionEval.org continues to maintain a fork of gregorbj and WSP/CS forks off of the fork. Both gregorbj/RSG and WSP/CS work in their repos and then collaborate through the VisionEval.org fork.
  • gregorbj transfers ownership to VisionEval.org and then gregorbj forks back and WSP/CS forks VisionEval.org.
  • Maybe VisionEval.org re-forks at the end of the AASHTO and ODOT contracts?
  • We'll cancel Liming's pull request and the Pooled Funds can coordinate with him
• I'm going to clean-up the gregorbj issues, wiki, etc. so it is focused on our scoped work. This means closing non-scoped issues, revising the roadmap, etc. --> this is now done
• We should have a meeting with the development team ahead of the AMPO peer exchange so we instill confidence in the new pooled funds participants that we have a collective plan.
• We will accept the pull request for the VE RPAT EV upgrades to the gregorbj project. This way we can get all our stuff into one nice complete, tested, and documented effort.
