 * Minutes of last meeting adopted.
 * Considered Project Retiring Process and recommended several improvements. Cameron will call for a vote on the list once the changes are incorporated.
 * Considered Project Graduation Checklist. There was a failure to achieve consensus on stricter requirements for quality control and incorporation into multi-project binary distributions.
 * Considered application for geomajas. A motion was passed recommending to the board that geomajas be accepted into incubation with Paul Spencer as mentor, and Pieter De Graef as project representative.
 * Markus Lupp has stepped down from the committee as his career has taken him in new, and unrelated directions.
 * Some general discussion including:
 * whether our pending and in-incubation lists are being properly maintained (Frank agreed to work on this)
 * whether we have too many overlapping projects
 * how to judge if a project is too small/immature
 * possible roles for OSGeo Labs
 * whether we ought to be rejecting or otherwise acting on some of the old applications.
 * a review of the PyWPS application
 * The meeting was closed.
