HUB \acrfull{STIG}

\section{Definitions}

Reference the OpenPOWER Foundation \acrshort{IPR} Policy and OpenPOWER WorkGroup Process for additional term definitions.

\begin{enumerate}
\item
``Provider" is an Eligible participant of the workgroup that has been elected by Full Majority Vote to provide OpenPOWER resources
to the Open Source community for the purpose of enabling, promoting, converting, porting, and testing open source on OpenPOWER.
\item
``"
\end{enumerate}

\section{Description}

The HUB \acrshort{STIG} is a workgroup whose purpose is to enable the process of porting to OpenPOWER,
this \acrshort{STIG} will enable the porting, conversion, and testing of open source on OpenPOWER.
This \acrshort{STIG} will provide resources for these efforts by levering Providers to enable open source to gain access to
OpenPOWER resources for the purpose of porting, converting, and maintaining open source resources to be enabled on OpenPOWER.\par

The HUB \acrshort{STIG} will create processes, documentation, code and how-to guides to assist in OpenPOWER enablement.
In addition to these documents, the HUB \acrshort{STIG} will provide resources that enable the porting, conversion and maintance
throught Providers that have resources available to assist open source in this effort.\par

The purpose of the HUB is to be a central place where a public open source project can reach out to for help.
It is up to the HUB to assist these projects in their endavour to OpenPOWER.\par

\section{Scope}

The scope of the HUB \acrshort{STIG} is the creation of a central place for OpenPOWER porting.
The \acrshort{STIG} will do this by providing documentation, code, and resources to enable the porting, converting, and maintaining
of open source on OpenPOWER.\par

The HUB \acrshort{STIG} will create documentation on how to enable open source on OpenPOWER.
It will do this in a way to enable all features, and options available on OpenPOWER.
This documentataion will be made publically available and be distributed within several open source communities.\par

In addition to the documentation, the HUB \acrshort{STIG} will work with Providers to make resources, such as but not limited to
\begin{itemize}
\item
Cloud Server Hardware
\item
FPGA based Hardware
\item
GPU based Hardware
\item
Specialized hardware
\item
Software distributions
\end{itemize}
\par

In addition the HUB \acrshort{STIG} will be a workgroup that evangalises the adoption of OpenPOWER
through technical documentation and resource availability.\par
