> Hi MIL-OSS!
>
> This something thats been discussed on the list more than a few times, but it seems its time to JFDI.
>
> So we (some miloss'ers, govvies, industry) are starting the: The Codice Foundation
> The Codice Foundation is an industry-led consortium providing infrastructure, support, education and export control advice to communities of government-focused developers, engineers and organizations producing open source projects.
> Code to be here: codicefoundation.org
>
> Kit says it best:
> We are in the early initialization phase of a new industry-led foundation focusing on software developed by, or for governments (specifically US and its coalition partners/friends). We're modeling ourselves off of Apache and Eclipse, and appending some of the unique requirements revolving around government industries.
>
> There are obviously a number of requirements and needs that this could grow into. That is where you come in: help to define the roadmaps and more importantly make sure this helps solve the issues of software code management, reuse, IP, etc. etc. for you/company for our government. (This is not meant to be only for the military, btw)
>
> Phase 2:
> We are going to start to better define needs and requirements and really develop the roadmap at MIL-OSS 4.
>
> So if you are interested in volunteering / helping out please attend the working group meeting. We'll have a few sessions on Codice during the conference as well as a deeper dive on Wednesday.
>
> Please discuss, I think this is an idea who's time has come and its time to solve it once and for all
