Infrastructure Transition

Note, for each of the following it isn't necessary to move to foundation infrastructure, but if you aren't a reason should be provided.

Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects web presence?: No. We will use that to redirect to geomoose.org our current home in the near term. However, we would like to revisit this option in the future.

Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?: http://trac.osgeo.org/geomoose/report/1

Is the OSGeo mailing list manager (http://lists.osgeo.org/) being used for the project?: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geomoose-users

Is the OSGeo SVN being used for the project?: http://svn.osgeo.org/geomoose/

Are binary and source downloads available from http://download.osgeo.org ?: http://svn.osgeo.org/geomoose/ AND http://geomoose.org/info/download.html

Community Functioning

Is there a functioning user support mechanisms (ie. mailing list)?: The OSGeo hosted mailman list is the primary mechanism. It is working well. For some rough numbers, from March-November there were 828 emails so about 20ish emails a week. Most get answered promptly ending in a successful resolution. There is mailing list for the PSC discussion.; - http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geomoose-users; - http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geomoose-psc

Are source and binary downloads for the package available?: Yes http://svn.osgeo.org/geomoose/

Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?: Yes. Dan, Jim, Bob, Brian*, Eli, and Brent are the PSC and have control. *Brian is the chair. More information here: http://www.geomoose.org/rfc/rfc-1.html?highlight=psc

Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.: Yes. http://www.geomoose.org/rfc/rfc-1.html?highlight=psc

How many active developers are there? Are they from multiple organizations?: 6. Various organizations (Houston Engineering, SharedGeo, GeoAnalytic, Freelance, Local Government Agencies, etc)

Foundation Membership

Have project documents been updated to reflect membership in the foundation, and the relationship of the project to the foundation?: Upon graduation from incubation GeoMoose will proudly display its affiliation with OSGeo reflected throughout the project (website, mailing list, logos, etc)

Has an effort been made to brand the project web site with OSGeo foundation web styling and branding marks?: Upon graduation the GeoMoose website will link to the OSGeo website from several places, display the OSGeo logo, and state that GeoMoose is a project of the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo). We will also submit a SAC ticket for OSGeo website updates (listing in projects). Down the road the PSC will probably discuss options to allow GeoMoose sponsorship through OSGeo project sponsorship

Code Copyright Review

Has a Code Provenance Review document been prepared for the project?: Review completed on email, links provided here GeoMoose Provenance Review

Have issues raised in the provenance review been adequately addressed?: Awaiting review process.

Are Commiter Responsibilities Guidelines covering legal issues in place?: yes/no - http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/2012_05_31_Meeting
