Considerations for Open Source Software Evaluation about open-source-logiciel-libre

[ShadeWyrm]

Hi! I'm curious if you feel the focus on Technical Evaluation and Technical Options Analysis should be made a part of the 'Standards'.

I have concerns that a focus on technical aspects would do more to damage when the focus is on enablement. Could you let me know if you feel this level of detail is required for what will be considered 'Mandatory' for Departments or if you'd be in agreement for this material to help establish our Playbook (Guidance) which will appear in the open on GCCollab?

I think some of these could be used to add sections to

Procurement of Open Source
and
Use of Open Source Software

If they're too low level then I think it could be put into the playbook, but why move them there. The procurement section looks like it needs content.

The author(not me) high lights how these could be used as a roadmap. Maybe they could be group as principles for easier consumption ?

the OSS standard has a bit of sprawl to it... let me play with the points. I think step one for me was to dump the document in github :D
