Plaisir de voir @AdeMontchalin sur le stand @ow2 à @OSXP_Paris: "L'observatoire de la qualité des démarches ce n'est pas un projet de mon Ministère, c'est LE projet phare de mon Ministère" -> il est fait avec @XWiki et du libre ! Merci @_DINUM et @marineboudeau de leur confiance!

[Cedric Thomas @cedricth]

Thanks for the question @gblondelle. Actually it is both. The parallel with the NASA TRL makes explaining MRL easier. And I found the 9 levels rather convenient: 1,2,3 for project development in progress, 4,5,6 for growing adoption and 7,8,9 for market development.

[Gaël Blondelle @gblondelle]

My question to @cedricth: "Are the 9 levels all required? Or more to stick to a similar scale as the NASA TRL?"

[Gaël Blondelle @gblondelle]

The Market Readiness Level is a great approach to make regular IT users comfortable with Open Source projects. @cedricth presents the different levels at @SFScon.
