Mission Statement

The project is launched by met.no in collaboration with SMHI

Kvoss is a term to describe a collection of closely related software products dedicated to the quality control of geophysical data, e.g. meteorological observations. The software was initially developed at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.

Kvoss is made available under the GNU General Public License version 2.

The kvoss bundle comprises:

Project Links

• Source Code
• Bugzilla

Additional libraries

• HQC requires some libraries located in https://svn.met.no/metlibs and uses miconfparser from kvalobs: https://svn.met.no/kvoss/kvalobs/trunk/src/lib/confparser/.
• External resources utilised by kvoss include OMNIORB, Postgresql, BOOST, SQLlite, QT and pkgconfig.

Project email groups

• Request membership to the kvoss project group: ( ( send mail to kvoss-dev@met.no ) ) TBD.
• Request membership to the kvoss core development team: ( ( send mail to kvoss-commit@met.no ) ) TBD.
• Subscribe to the kvoss user group: ( ( send mail to kvoss-users@met.no ) ) TBD.

Proposed group usage The kvoss-dev group is intended for people working in the project from all disciplines: specification, design, implementation, testing and operations. The kvoss-commit group is restricted to team members with write access to subversion to optimise the use of the subversion repositories and reduce confusion by announcing specific work on the source code. The kvoss-users group is for news, announcements and discussion not limited to the project group.

The above email group plan relies on having a mail tool which logs the history of all communications … for now we are still using Kvalobs-dev@met.no.
