In order to growth the open source community around LF energy CoMPAS. Multiple thinks can be done. This page should provide a plan to growth the CoMPAS community.
LF energy CoMPAS community growth can help us to bring:
- Secure funding
- Increase demand
- Influence the market
- Develop faster
- Validate faster
- Divide risk
The plan will be split in several parts; improvements are always welcome.
Release plans for the next 18 months
The project tries to release every 2 weeks. Some work requires more time (e.g. refactoring).
Target end-Users
Utilities (TSO, DSO) => E.g RTE and Alliander
Vendors => E.g GE
Integrators => E.g. TBI
Identification of any regulatory or standards body requirements for deployment, and plans for implementation
CoMPAS is highly focused on implementing the configurations parts of IEC61850
Actions in favor of the promotion of the project and in order to reach target end-users
Get the project into production
The initial contributors should get the CoMPAS software into production to give others more confidence and get feedback fast.
Expected due Date : At the end of 2022.

- Promote new releases on Linkedin => To do after first put into production
- Use LF energy media channels
- slack
Bilateral meeting
Try to speak of Compas as much as possible (one to one).
Define how to communicate to the project if someone has encountered a potential target to structure our communication.
Expected due Date : At the end of 2022 for the process.
Writen promotion
PACworld article- Which topics should be written about?
The Cathedral and the Bazaar - Wikipedia Energy edition]
White papers
Documentation/demonstration
Documentation shall be continuously improved.
Specially for SCT part where documentation is not sufficient.
Expected due Date : At the end of 2022.
In order to facilitate the adhesion to the project, a demo environment is build:
- Webinar to showcase the demo environment in order to promote CoMPAS and also sense community's doubts/questions/feature-suggestions
Write/record tutorials on how to work with LF energy CoMPAS
Expected due Date : Waiting for (Dan Brown ) to upload the tutorials to youtube
Example files (e.g. 104) and plug-in manuals
Explain the QA proces
Finalizes the roadmap for publishing
Promote CoMPAS at WG10 / Prototype WG10 idea's
Low barrier for entrance
