Join the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

2.0.x
Discussion is complete, incubation process started with the submission of the:
Preflight:
- [OSGEO incubation questionnaire]
- OSGEO Trac ticket 423 .
Incubation documents (view able from OSGeo wiki ):
- [GeoServer Incubation Status]
- [GeoServer Provenance Review]
- [GeoServer Incubation Checklist]
Quick: The community has asked us to join; apparently this would make a difference to GeoServer adoption.
Long: We discussed joining the OSGeo foundation when it was established (collaboration is after all a great deal of fun). The prospect of limited development resources being spread across both the GeoTools and GeoServer incubation process was a bit much.
From email: {panel} Hi, looking at the OSGEO thread it would seem all of the current PSC members have voted positively:
…
The PSC has thus showed full will to go on with the OSGEO incubation. Congratulations!
Now, time to more on. This wiki page: http://www.osgeo.org/incubator
describes the steps one needs to take in order to incubate.
I looked at the principles here: http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/principles.html it seems to me we already satisfy most if not all of them, pending for example a more careful review of our IP situation.
I guess the first step is to compile the questionnaire and find a project mentor.
What about compiling the questionnaire as a page on the wiki?
Cheers Andrea {panel}
Proposal updated 2012 to reflect new incubation checklist:
- (/) Get direction from PSC
- (/) Review incubation process: ** http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/process.html
- (/) Apply for the incubation process ** (/) Fill in the [OSGEO incubation questionnaire] ** (/) Create a TRAC issue: ticket 423
- Wait for the incbation committee to accept us and assign a mentor ** (/) Landon Blake has contacted us, and will review above materials ** (/) Go over graduation requirements with mentor and ask any questions we have
- Incubation progress ** (/) AA: Initial code providence review leading into initial application ** (/) JG: License clarification for docs (also geotools license page).
- Initial pass of [GeoServer Provenance Review] done by OSGeo FOSS4G-Au code sprint! ** Short list issues in JIRA, not required to fix! ** Thanks!
- Code sprint held at FOSSS4G-au ** (/) [GeoServer Provenance Review] completed!
- Short list of issues raised during review ** (/) 90% handled by Jody shortly after they were discovered ** (/) Documentation License? Handled by GSIP - changed to CCbyA ** (/) Data review is stuck on a few old datasets (states, tasmania). Now sourced.
- Review OSGeo Graduation Checklist : ** (/) JG: Open ** (/) JG: Copyright and License ** (/) JG: Process (github, jira, GSIP, meetings and email) ** (/) JG: Documentation (user docs, developer docs with release procedure) ** (/) JG: Release Procedure (defined procedure, automated testing, and CITE testing) ** (!) Board: need a project officer when we get that far ** (/) IT: Marketing IanT has filled in the OSGeo-Live page ** (/) JG: Testing ** (/) SAC: Need to set up http://geoserver.osgeo.org redirect? No direct link is fine…
- Confirm with mentor we are ready ** (/) Quickly create a [GeoServer Incubation Status]
- Graduation ** (/) Be on hand to answer questions from the incubation committee ** (/) Select a PSC member represent the project to the OSGeo board: Andrea (who already follows the board list) has accepted the nomination
- Post Grad ** Update Logo ** Blog Anouncement
