== Step 1: Add OSGeo Website Project Page ==
 
−
 
−
To be listed on the OSGeo website:
 
−
 
−
# Be geospatial
 
−
#* Confirm by checking README or project description
 
−
# Have a free license or open source license
 
−
#* The license must be OSI approved
 
−
# Welcome participation and new contributors.
 
−
#* We look for a clear contribution policy
 
−
 
−
If you have questions about the above, or would like guidance on setting up your open source project, please reach out to us.
 
−
 
−
== Step 2: Join Community Projects Program ==
 
−
 
−
Projects applying to the *OSGeo Community* program are asked to:
 
−
 
−
# Be geospatial
 
−
#* Confirm by checking README or project description
 
−
#* project page on the osgeo website
 
−
#* We ask projects have some user documentation, for example an OSGeo Live quickstart
 
−
# Have a free license or an open source license.
 
−
#* The license must be OSI approved
 
−
#* We ask that the project team check the file headers and double check the license has been appropriately applied
 
−
# Welcome participation and new contributors.
 
−
#* We look for a clear contribution policy
 
−
#* We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration, perhaps with a history of bug report or pull requests
 
−
#* Projects are required to have a code of conduct
 
−
 
−
OSGeo provides [https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ code of conduct guidance], many projects selecting [https://www.contributor-covenant.org/ contribution covenant]).
 
−
 
−
OSGeo [[Community Projects]] can take part in the incubation committee for guidance on open source use, setting up project governance, promoting the project, and building the project community. We look forward to working with you.
 
−
 
−
== Step 3: Incubation process and Graduation ==
 
−
 
−
The *OSGeo Project* designation is intended to recognize established projects with a diverse community of developers and users with a proven track record.
 
−
 
−
To be recognized as an *OSGeo Project* a project team applies for the OSGeo incubation program. Successful projects are teamed up with an experienced open source mentor to help answer questions, obtain legal council, and help guide work on transparency and community development as required.
 
−
 
−
Although incubation is a lot of work, this is opportunity for project teams to grow and improve and be publicly recognized for their accomplishment.
 
−
 
−
To be recognized as an *OSGeo Project* we ask that project teams excel in each of areas mentioned above, see [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/documents/graduation_checklist.pdf graduation checklist] or the comparison table on this page for more detail.
 
−
 
−
The OSGeo incubation process takes place in three stages:
 
−
 
−
# Initial Application
 
−
## Application request
 
−
## Mentor volunteer
 
−
# Incubator
 
−
## Project Status: project details, and a few resourcing questions for the system admin committee (see [[Project Status Template]]).
 
−
## Provenance Review: project team check to ensure the project is open source and has permission to distribute its source code.
 
−
## Project team and mentor work on [https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/documents/graduation_checklist.pdf graduation checklist] priorities
 
−
# Graduation
 
−
## Mentor recommends project for graduation with motion to the incubation committee
 
−
## Committee chair informs the OSGeo board, who appoints the project team as a newly formed OSGeo committee
