This wiki page by the Incubation_Committee is a scratchpad of ideas forming the OSGeo community program. To see how these ideas have been realized please see our website page.

Purpose

The purpose of *OSGeo Community* projects is help foster innovation and include more project teams in the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.

About OSGeo Community Projects

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 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.

+This wiki page by the [[Incubation_Committee]] is a scratchpad of ideas forming the OSGeo community program. To see how these ideas have been realized please see our [http://osgeo.org/committees/incubation website page].
 = Purpose =
-OSGeo Labs is a place to list Open Source Geospatial Software that hasn't reached Incubation status. OSGeo Labs aims to:
-* Help projects progress to OSGeo Incubation.
-* Advertise projects and find like minded developers.
-* Merge with similar projects. A project has a greater chance of reaching Incubation when integrated with similar projects.
-This is the right place to start submitting your project so other OSGeo members can review them and send you feedback.
-== Criteria ==
-Projects should only list themselves in OSGeo Labs if they follow the OSGeo Incubation principles.
-# The code is under an OSI approved license (data & doc projects need to specify their choice for a type of license).
-# The project is willing to keep code clear of encumbrances
-# The project is "geospatial", or directly supports geospatial applications.
-# The project hopes to become a graduated OSGeo project, or have reasons why incubation is not appropriate.
-==Becoming a Labs Project==
-Becoming an OSGeo Labs should be easy and encouraged to all project that respond to criterias above. All project that use the OSGeo infrastructure or that wants to assign their copyright to OSGeo should add themselves below.
-==Pending Incubation==
+The purpose of *OSGeo Community* projects is help foster innovation and include more project teams in the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.
-Projects which have self assessed themselves ready for incubation and waiting for a mentor: [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=assigned&component=Incubator&keywords=%7Eapplication List from OSGeo trac]
-* [http://mapwindow.org MapWindow] - The MapWindow project was started in 1998 and became open source in January, 2005. It includes an ActiveX component (similar to ESRI's now discontinued MapObjects tool) an extensible desktop application, and a set of .NET libraries (MapWindow 6) which are intended to be an alternative to ESRI's ArcObjects. The MapWindow team has been a supporter of OSGeo since its inception, with workshops and exhibits at all-but-one FOSS4g conferences and participation on various OSGeo committees and efforts. We just held our first formal project conference in April 2010 at which the team agreed to apply for incubation status with OSGeo. The application is forth-coming.

-== Responsibilities ==
+# Be geospatial
-OSGeo Labs aims to have minimal red tape to reduce overhead.
+#* 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

-===Project Champion===
+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.
-The Project Champion is responsible for:
-# Strongly recommended: Read Karl Fogel's book on [http://producingoss.com/ Open Source Software - How to Run a Successful Free Software Project]
-# Ensure the project complies with OSGeo principles by addressing the [[#Criteria]] above.
-# Create a home page for the project. The OSGeo wiki is recommended for this page. A page should answer the OSGeo [[#Criteria]].
-# List the project under the appropriate heading on this page.
-# Announce and discuss the project on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss OSGeo Discuss] email list.
-# Move the project toward incubation.
-===Incubation Committee===
+== Community Projects ==
-The OSGeo Incubation Committee is responsible for:
-# Investigate, then possibly remove a project from OSGeo Labs if it doesn't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].
-# Periodically (at least annually), review projects in OSGeo labs and remove projects which have "died" or don't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].
-== Helpful Resource ==
+For a complete list please see the osgeo website: menu > projects > community projects.
-# Get your project a mailing-list and a bug tracker
-## [http://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge] provides code repository, mailing list and bug tracker services.  (contact  [mailto:sunburned.surveyor@gmail.com Landon Blake] to get help on SourceForge service)
-# Approach the [[Spotlights]] editors about doing a spotlight interview about your project.
-===Assigning Copyright to OSGeo===
+* actinia
-Many graduated OSGeo projects choose to assign their copyright to OSGeo. A young project can assign its copyright to OSGeo by:
+* FDO
-* TBD: As of 15 April 2009, the process for assigning copyright has not been resolved, it is being discussed on the OSGeo discuss email list. It may involve the following:
+* GC2/Vidi
-** Asking the incubation committee and doing it
+* GeoExt
-** Having a graduated OSGeo project mentor yours
+* GeoHealthCheck
+* Geomajas
+* GeoServer Client PHP
+* GeoStyler
+* GeoWebCache - osgeo labs
+* istSOS
+* Loader - osgeo labs

+* ZOO-Project
-===Using OSGeo infrastructure===
+The following projects were used to bootstrap OSGeo Community program from the earlier OSGeo Labs program:
-It's possible to use OSGeo infrastructure to host your project or to have a trac and subversion server. You can get help if your project respond to criterias above and ask the right person for it.
