OpenPETRA Architecture Team

What is the Architecture Team?

A group of people within the openPETRA development team that looks at and improves architectural issues of various kinds.

Team Members

The openPETRA Architecture Team currently consists of christiank and MathiasG. They were nominated to that job by the the other openPETRA core developers at an openPETRA meeting in Carlisle (Nov.30th - Dec.2nd, 2010).

The members of the Architecture Team do not work full-time on architectural issues; rather they are 'normal' openPETRA developers who can be contacted about architectural issues and who are pro-actively looking for architectural issues as they go about their development work. They might work full-time on issues for a certain time as the need arises.

Purpose of the Architecture Team

The Architecture Team...

• proactively identifies issues in the architecture or development process of openPETRA and highlights them to the development team.
• investigates issues of the architecture or development process of openPETRA as identified by other development team members.

and...

• comes up with proposals on how to improve identified issues.
• implements changes to resolve or improve the identified issues themselves, or delegates the implementation of changes to another member of the development team, depending on whatever is seen as best and who/if somebody is available for that.
• creates and maintains documentation on the topics of
  • openPETRA architecture
  • development process of openPETRA
