Incubation Status report for Q2 2013.
Incubation Committee
TLDR: Waiting on the board for GeoMoose announcement, and listing project officers for GeoMoose and GeoServer. Rasdaman is getting close to completing incubation requirements. gvSig has a new mentor, remaining incubation projects show no progress, with dropping TEAM Engine discussed. Landon has some ideas for promoting OSGeo Labs projects.
Activities:
- All: GeoMoose graduation (motion passed)
- Jody: Update projects list http://www.osgeo.org/incubator (done)
- Jody: Incubation_Committee_Report_2012 (done)
- jmckenna: fix ZOO-Project link on osgeo.org (done)
- Arnulf to Mentor Marble, we will need to make a motion on the email list (done)
- Jody: ask GeoMoose for clarification on contribution, and results of code/doc/data review (done)
Pending actions from IncCom Meeting21
- Jody to contact OSM project and see if it is still ticking
- Jody: take "Incubation Phases" proposal back to email for discussion
- Jody: kalxas: filling in pycsw questionnaire
Recent Graduates
We are tracking recent graduates for a few months to ensure that the correct OSGeo Project logo is rolled out onto the project website, the community is informed, and the OSGeo board has a chance to make a news announcement and appoint a project officer.
GeoMoose

Incubation
The following projects are following the OSGeo Incubation process.
Relationship with OSGeo:
- Project are expected to display the OSGeo Project in Incubation logo on their website.
- OSGeo lists these project on the main OSGeo http://www.osgeo.org website.
Relationship with Incubation Committee:
- Each project has a mentor to help answer any questions (very helpful for sensitive subjects that cannot be discussed on an open mailing list).
- Project are expected to link from the Incubation_Committee wiki to a Provenance Review (to confirm they are open source) and Incubation Checklist (to meet graduation requirements).
- Incubation Committee mailing list is always questions and discussion
gvSIG
- mentor: Dimitris Kotzinos (taking over from Jeroen Ticheler)
- contact: Manuel Madrid
We have a new project rep, status last updated in 2011, no provenance review.
Marble
- Mentor: Arnulf Christl
- Website at http://www.osgeo.org/marble has been populated.
Status updated July 2013, provenance review started at: Marble Code Provenance Review
MetaCRS
- mentor:
- no progress to report
Status updated in 2009, no provenance review (unclear if that is applicable for the project?)
Opticks
- mentor: Mark Lucas
- no progress to report
Status updated Nov 2012, no provenance review.
pycsw
- mentor: Jeff McKenna
- Status updated July 2013
- Team discussed Incubation plan in late June 2013
- Team created a wiki area to hold future Incubation-status documents (https://github.com/geopython/pycsw/wiki/OSGeo-Incubation)
- Team held first hands-on workshop in June (very successful, ~40 attendees). All documents contributed back to community.
- Project momentum/activity is strong
- Team plans to form a Project Steering Committee by the end of 2013
- Question for IncCom: Can Jeff McKenna (current mentor) also be a pycsw PSC member?
rasdaman
The Rasdaman community seems to be past the technical hurdles of the code review and license checks, and is now working on open governance procedures.
- mentor: Bruce Bannerman
(Bruce) My general observations on the project for the last period are:
- Overall, the project appears to be in good shape, with 26 new user registrations this month alone.
- Project activity has increased with a marked increase in email traffic on the developer and user lists.
- Considerable activity is occuring related to documenting and fine tuning of software release processes, including tying these to processes relating to the use of git.
- Work is underway to support git branching with a view towards maintained releases.
- Work is under way to support regression testing for OGC compliance e.g. WCPS and WCS.
- Work is underway to improve the testing framework.
- Rasdaman's CRS name resolver has been deployed as OGC's official CRS name resolver.
- I'm starting to see future planning activities being presented to the Rasdaman Community for comment. This is good to see.
- We still don't have documented processes describing a range of factors, however I anticipate that these will come in time. Some examples are:
- Project Governance and processes
- Who is on the Project Steering Committee? How are PSC members (s)elected, replaced etc? What are the responsibilities of the PSC?
- What Code review is expected for new contributions? Who does this review?
- How are Commiters selected? What are their responsibilities? How is commit status reviewed?
- The project has a reasonably well defined roadmap [2]. What I'm not clear on yet is e.g.:
- How was this roadmap has been defined?
- What community review process is used to arrive at the roadmap?
- How were relative priorities determined?
- How are new priorities balanced against existing priorities?
TEAM Engine
- mentor: Justin Deolivera
- no progress to report
- logo not listed on project website (http://teamengine.sourceforge.net)
- Some contact on email, no status or provenance review.
Incubation committee has discussed dropping this project due to lack of progress / lack of plan to progress.
ZOO-Project
- mentor: Frank Warmerdam
- ongoing provenance review.
- ongoing status document.
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
