These following are notes on the "Scala Open Source Community and Governance" session of the Scala lift off conference. They were taken at a the summary of this session, as presented at the final wrap-up event. People who actually attended the session and took notes should also contribute.

  • Plans for governance:
    • Based off of Python
    • Martin directs evolution of language from EPFL
    • But open process to community via SIP
    • Spec-like process for improvement
    • Martin has last word
  • Intellectual property
    • Trademark for Scala? Pluses or minuses
    • May be some advantages, but Martin doesn't want to deal with it
    • We need people in community to deal with that stuff
  • Scala libraries
    • Scalax: Approved migration path from community --> scalax --> scala standard library
    • Scalax weighted to Scala libraries with few jar dependencies
    • We need a way to have Scala libraries that leverage off of Java jars
    • There was a discussion of Maven vs sbaz, migrate to mailing list
