Dear OpenZaak community members,
We see our role as ["Providing long term product sustainability"](
https://about.publiccode.net/activities/codebase-stewardship/goals#provid...)
in codebase stewardship. We should provide this infrastructure to the
entire community as that lies outside of the mandate of any individual
organization whilst everyone depends on it for their operational continuity.
As you know during the last technical steering meeting important issues
were raised concerning the existing testing and deployment infrastructure.
Due to a change in the business model of the services used, the OpenZaak
test and deployment infrastructure will become unavailable if no action is
taken.
In the short term, we propose to take over responsibility for the existing
infrastructure. We can do this by paying for the services. In the
mid-to-longer term we strongly recommend a transition to another more open
and accessible platform.
To achieve a healthy and strong community around OpenZaak, regardless of
what's stated above, we request public organizations to become members of
the Foundation for Public Code Vereniging. Membership is an investment in
the social and technical infrastructures to achieve the goals of OpenZaak
and open source in gemeenten.
We propose to take over the Travis and DockerHub accounts and are ready to
operationalize this as soon as that happens. Please let us know how you
think about this and let's discuss how we can move this forward.
Kind regards,
Eric & Felix
