Minutes of last meeting adopted.
Considered Project Retiring Process and recommended several improvements. Cameron will call for a vote on the list once the changes are incorporated.
- 7 Mar 2010: Actioned by Cameron in version 0.2: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php?title=Project_Retiring_Process&diff=45941&oldid=32985
Considered Project Graduation Checklist. There was a failure to achieve consensus on stricter requirements for quality control and incorporation into multi-project binary distributions.
Considered application for geomajas. A motion was passed recommending to the board that geomajas be accepted into incubation with Paul Spencer as mentor, and Pieter De Graef as project representative.
Markus Lupp has stepped down from the committee as his career has taken him in new, and unrelated directions.
Some general discussion including:
- whether our pending and in-incubation lists are being properly maintained (Frank agreed to work on this)
- whether we have too many overlapping projects
- how to judge if a project is too small/immature
- possible roles for OSGeo Labs
- whether we ought to be rejecting or otherwise acting on some of the old applications.
- a review of the PyWPS application
