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.

* [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.

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:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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.
