Hey everybody, I’d like to propose merging the SDK and OSC teams. We already share an IRC channel, and already share a purpose in life. In OSC we have a current goal of swapping out client implementation for SDK, and we’re Already ensuring that SDK does what it needs to do to facilitate that goal. We also already share PTG space, and have requested a shared set of time at the upcoming Denver PTG. So really the separation is historical not practical, and these days having additional layers of governance is not super useful.
This makes sense.
I propose that we do a simple merge of the teams. This means the current SDK cores will become cores on OSC, and as most of the OSC cores are already SDK cores, it means the SDK team gains amotoki - which is always a positive.
Yeah - projects were supposed to be mainly about common groups of people working on stuff, so if the overlap is so close already, it seems like a no brainer.
Dean hasn’t had time to spend on OSC quite a bit, sadly, and while we remain hopeful that this will change, we’re slowly coming to terms with the possibility that it might not. With that in mind, I’ll serve as the PTL for the new combined team until the next election.
If this is good with the two teams, this is good with me :) Hopefully this can help with projects teams issues with OSC/SDK response times.

I think it can. I’ve had some chats with some folks on the team and I think we all think this will help streamline and enable us to respond more quickly.
