Which Entity did your team choose to profile?

Software Freedom Conservancy

Description of the Organization

The Software Freedom Conservancy is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and FLOSS projects.  They aim to provide a home and infrastructure for FLOSS projects and allow developers to focus more on developing.  So basically they deal with the legal side of FLOSS projects so that the contributors can make the software without fear or distraction.

Describe each team member's role

We ended up dividing the project as such:  Myself - service overview, Will - Organizational details, Kocsen - community architecture

Organization/Project Source Code Repo URL

• Not Applicable, the Conservancy simply helps open source projects

Upstream Mentors and Communication

• IRC: #conservancy

What do you anticipate the easy parts will be?

Pretty straightforward, fairly large company, with lots of information available.  Company is centered around helping open source projects, so its pretty cool and likeable.

What do you anticipate the hard parts will be?

Unlike the other companies we make profiles for, this one does not actually have a github main project.  Instead, this company helps open source projects.

How will you overcome both?

Good communication, good individual research, and collaboration via google docs.  We usually just get our brains together and start mashing information into a google doc :)

If something goes wrong, what contingencies do you have in place?

Google docs saves all changes and is unparalleled for simple collaboration.  We will revert back to older changes if something goes awry.  Alternatively, the information we are researching is readily available on the internet, so we can just find it again.

When will your group meet regularly outside of class time?
