As a service
Requirements and vendors«Requirement X.X: … and secure that the system efterwards can be maintained and developed upon by other suppliers …"
” Requirement X.Y: … The code must be transfered to the client …"
" Requirement X.Z: … can be used freely by other public and private agencies and vendors
Open source – What do we hope to gain?
- Based on existing solutions
- Transparency
- More competition, potentially
- More with less
- OOS-projects leads to standardization
Ownership
- Take ownership of development
- Give back to the community
- Ask for OSS as a customer

First impressions
Positive
Open Source (Yay!)
Community based (Woo!!)
People behind seem to 'get' community.
Not so positive
Hard to find information
Seemingly non-active/responsive forum
No technical support forum to speak of.
Hard to find information
Documents on digitaliser.dk:
A project description
A list of contributors
Scribbled notes from two meetings
Hard to find information (2)Documents on wiki
Adminstrator documentation (setup)
Developer documentation (coding standards)
Promises, promises, promises:
What is ShowMap?
Guide for new contributors
Roadmap (outdated)
Non-active/responsive forumForum on digitaliser.dk
10 threads since december 2010
5 of them has no responses
No technical support forumWay of support: Through your supplier
Which is fine for your company's installation.
But not for testing and/or private purposes
Various whiningRuns only on Windows (.NET)
No ”Installation for Dummies”-guide (ie. targetted at ME).
RecommendationsAn introduction to where to find resources and
how to interact with the community in general.
Basic installation guide
Encouraging use of the forum ”Open Sourcing” the technical support from the suppliers
Success
