🧭 OS4CSAPI Meta Repository

This repository serves as the central planning and coordination hub for the Open Source for OGC API – Connected Systems (OS4CSAPI) initiative. It supports transparent workflows, contributor onboarding, sprint planning, and architectural alignment across all participating projects.

📘 Purpose

The os4csapi-meta repo was created to migrate coordination from personal repositories to a fully public, contributor-friendly space. It anchors the OS4CSAPI organization and links directly to our project board and Discussions forum.

📋 Project Workspace

Track sprint goals, planning, and implementation progress in our org-level GitHub Project:

👉 OS4CSAPI Project Workspace

Contributors can:

• Link issues from any public repository of interest (no need to formally link the repo)
• Formally link a repository to the organization if deeper integration is desired
• Track progress across agile columns (Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done)
• Filter by repo or status using board views
• Coordinate implementation efforts aligned with CSAPI goals

💬 Discussions

Join the conversation in our Discussions tab to:

• Plan sprints and implementation threads
• Ask questions and share ideas
• Align on standards and architecture
• Propose new repositories, use cases, or issue links

🧩 Participating Projects

We collaborate with upstream and downstream open-source efforts to validate, prototype, and implement CSAPI features. Contributions often begin by linking issues from external repositories. Some examples include:

• opensensorhub
• 52North/connected-systems-pygeoapi
• geopython/OWSLib
• camptocamp/ogc-client
• qgis/QGIS
• nlsfi/hakunapi
• ConnectedSystemsAPI-Java

🤝 Contributor Onboarding

New members are granted base permissions to fork, create, and link repositories. To get started:

1. Review this README and the org-level README
2. Join active Discussions
3. Link issues to the project board from any relevant repo
4. Propose new implementation threads or formally link a repo to the organization

📐 Standards Alignment

All work in this organization aligns with the OGC API – Connected Systems v1 specification. We prioritize semantic clarity, traceability, and conformance across all implementation efforts.
