• 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.
  • 7 Mar 2010: Actioned by Cameron in version 0.2: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Project_Retiring_Process&diff=45941&oldid=32985
• 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.
