GeoMoose Incubation Checklist

Incubation checklist reviewed on email list, links provided below.


 * http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-users/2012-May/004016.html

In response to this review several improvements were made by the community (see RFC section below).

Open
1. Open and public manner

License:


 * http://www.geomoose.org/info/license.html <-- MIT based License

Open Meetings:


 * http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Meetings
 * http://geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/2012_07_26_Meeting <-- incubation discussed here
 * http://geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/09_14_2012_Roadmap_Planning_Meeting


 * As a consequence of moving through the Incubation process, the GeoMoose PCS has instituted a regular PSC meeting schedule of roughly once a month. These meetings are open and and usually occur online with an occasional Face to face meeting.  The meeting Notes are published to the GeoMoose wiki.

Public decision making process:


 * RFC 1: Project Steering Committee Guidelines
 * RFC 2: GeoMOOSE Project Mission (What is GeoMOOSE)
 * RFC 3: GeoMOOSE Release Process


 * Also as a consequence of moving through the Incubation process, the GeoMoose project has implemented a formal PSC that meets to discuss the project and make decisions. RFCs related to this action have been passed and additional related RFC's are in a pending state.  This is a desirable development from the GeoMoose PCS group and they have been ver motivated to moving this along as a process.

2. Active and healthy community
