MapServer is a graduated OSGeo project. This page is the archive of the incubation process.
Basics
- Has the project been approved for incubation by the OSGeo board?
- Yes, selected for "founding project" incubation by the OSGeo board.
- Has an Incubation committee member been assigned as Mentor?
- Yes, Chris Holmes has been assigned as MapServer incubation mentor.
Infrastructure Transition
- Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?
- Yes, to a point. There is a basic page that points to our primary, plone-based, website.
- Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
- Yes, we migrated to the OSGeo TRAC instance in late April 2007.
- Bug tracking repository moved?
- Yes.
- Is the OSGeo mailing list manager being used for the project?
- Yes, mailing lists including history have been migrated
- http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
- http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-dev
- http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-announce
- Is the OSGeo SVN or CVS system being used for the project?
- Yes, we migrated from CVS to the OSGeo SVN instance in early May 2007.
- Are binary and source downloads available from the OSGeo download area?
- Yes, source downloads (nightly and official releases) were moved to OSGeo in early May 2007.
Community Functioning

- The mapserver-users mailing list is quite active and well posed questions often result in more than one helpful response.
- Are source and binary downloads for the package available?
- Yes, visit http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/
- Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
- Yes, the RFC transitioning our technical steering committee (TSC) to the PSC passed in April 2007. PSC membership is now complete.
- Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
