Progress:


 * The project recently appointed a Benevolent Dictatorship, which is not compatible with OSGeo direction for open development. While we can negotiate on the form, a project steering committee is only one example, we do want to ensure that OSGeo projects are open to all willing participants on equal footing.
 * Bruce is going to report back in a couple of months.

= Labs =

Thanks to Landon Blake for his excellent leadership in reaching out to OSGeo Incubation Lab projects.


 * We have extended an invitation to OSGeo Labs projects to participate in the incubation list, as for many routine questions we can help without a dedicated mentor.
 * Landon has the idea of setting up resources for community building / project marketing / project governance
