Community Functioning

- 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 a pending request for a new "geomoose-psc' email list to be created for use by the GeoMoose PSC discussion.

- Upon graduation from incubation GeoMoose will proudly display its affiliation with OSGeo reflected throughout the project (website, mailing list, logos, etc)

- 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
