We will make it easier for anyone to contribute to the CEOS-ARD PFS development dialogue by using Github to foster an active development community, vibrant discussions, an open issue tracker, etc. Such a platform will also improve our processes related to configuration/version control and overall transparency and traceability. This is a key way to better engage the New Space sector and other external contributors.
CEOS-ARD Github repository is established and being used. Development will continue.
It has been generally agreed that the best way forward for further development of the CEOS-ARD PFSs is via GitHub, for transparency, version control, and most importantly
as a means to facilitate consistency across the different PFSs and alignment with SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC).
The CEOS-ARD GitHub repository has now been established under the CEOS Organizational GitHub account and is in the process of being populated with content. The CEOS-ARD team will define a clear roadmap and timeline for transition to GitHub, as well as a set of implementation practices/guidelines and governance framework.
Deliverable can probably be closed. Covered by CEOS-ARD Strategy 2024 section 2.1
