Working group proposal and v1.0

[axelboberg]

Bridge is maturing, version 1.0 is closing in and so should the community. I'm very thankful for all who contribute with feature requests, feedback and bug reports. You are incredibly valuable for a project like this.

I want to take the temp - would you be interested in setting up a small working group around the project? We’re setting the bar ourselves so the workload and practicals are things we would need to figure out together.

Im especially reaching out to @mellbergsimon and @DrEVILish who so far have been the most active.

I'm happy to be a QA / tester on new features etc, and will give as much feedback as possible.

Very happy to be mentioned even though I have contributed very little since my full time work is taking alot of time at the moment.

But I am interested in contributing where I can. I don't have the same depth of knowledge as others here so development takes longer for me.

Regardless very happy to be mentioned and happy to assist wherever. First with completing PRs I have started.

Best regards
Simon

That's great. There's no such thing as a too small of a contribution here. Anything from QA, testing, coding and contributions to docs and user guides are very welcome.

I also think it would be both fun and a good way to make more people find Bridge (and in turn accelerate its development) to showcase how it's used. I for one would be very interested to see images of implementations and use cases and probably the rest of the Caspar community as well. And if you have other ideas on how to start extending the community, please let me know. Either here or privately through email (hello@axelboberg.se).

I'll leave this thread open for a while to let more people discover it – unless there's a few more interested the working group idea might be put on hold, but it can always be brought back later.

Adding a "discussions" section on GitHub, I've always found them useful rather than opening an issue for things that are not necessarily bugs.

@axelboberg - I'm impressed with your work and glad to see this project is still alive!! Many people start projects, not all people follow them through! And thanks to other involved too. I'm following this repo just because I'm curious still to see where it goes. For the others in the thread, I worked with Axel briefly at SVT a few years ago, as a dev and with improving open source policies. (I still work with open source policies, security and devops things at an agency now a days). While I'm not interested to join the core workgroup with code features, UX, documentation and such, I can in the future, add few further contributions/suggestions PR's for a few further open source standards/security and good Sec/OS practices, (which of course you/the project can just decline without anyone getting sad). I just want to contribute a bit because I like it:)

Let's try it – Github discussions is now enabled for this repo.

Thank you Josef! Anything that you can and want to contribute with is greatly appreciated – whatever it might be!

Hi team,

I'm writing to let you know that v1.0.0 has been released, including a lot of new features and fixes.

If you have the time, please try it out and let me know what you think and what you'd like to see next.
