Incubation Status report for Q3 2013.

Incubation Committee

No summary

Activities:

  • none

Recent Graduates

We are tracking recent graduates for a few months to ensure that the correct OSGeo Project logo is rolled out onto the project website, the community is informed, and the OSGeo board has a chance to make a news announcement and appoint a project officer.

Incubation

The following projects are following the OSGeo Incubation process.

Relationship with OSGeo:

  • Project are expected to display the OSGeo Project in Incubation logo on their website.
  • OSGeo lists these project on the main OSGeo http://www.osgeo.org website.

Relationship with Incubation Committee:

  • Each project has a mentor to help answer any questions (very helpful for sensitive subjects that cannot be discussed on an open mailing list).
  • Project are expected to link from the Incubation_Committee wiki to:
    • A Provenance Review document (to confirm they are open source)
    • A Incubation Checklist document (to meet graduation requirements)
  • Incubation Committee mailing list is always questions and discussion

gvSIG

  • mentor: Dimitris Kotzinos (taking over from Jeroen Ticheler)
  • contact: Manuel Madrid

We have a new project rep, status last updated in 2011, no provenance review.

Marble

Status updated July 2013, provenance review started at: Marble Code Provenance Review

MetaCRS

  • mentor: Daniel Morissette
  • no progress to report

Status updated in 2009, no provenance review (unclear if that is applicable for the project?)

Opticks

Updated July 2013, not sure how to start provenance review.

pycsw

  • mentor: Jeff McKenna
  • Status updated July 2013
  • Team discussed Incubation plan in late June 2013
  • Team created a wiki area to hold future Incubation-status documents (https://github.com/geopython/pycsw/wiki/OSGeo-Incubation)
  • Team held first hands-on workshop in June (very successful, ~40 attendees). All documents contributed back to community.
  • Project momentum/activity is strong
  • Team plans to form a Project Steering Committee by the end of 2013
    • Question for IncCom: Can Jeff McKenna (current mentor) also be a pycsw PSC member?

rasdaman

The Rasdaman community seems to be past the technical hurdles of the code review and license checks, and is now working on open governance procedures.

Progress:

  • The project recently appointed a Benevolent Dictatorship, which is not compatible with OSGeo direction for open development. While we can negotiate on the form, a project steering committee is only one example, we do want to ensure that OSGeo projects are open to all willing participants on equal footing.
  • Bruce is going to report back in a couple of months.

TEAM Engine

  • mentor: Justin Deolivera
  • no progress to report
  • logo not listed on project website (http://teamengine.sourceforge.net)
  • Some contact on email, no status or provenance review.

Incubation committee has discussed dropping this project due to lack of progress / lack of plan to progress.

ZOO-Project

Has started looking at the checklist, thus far only the release procedure seems missing.

Labs

Thanks to Landon Blake for his excellent leadership in reaching out to OSGeo Incubation Lab projects.

  • We have extended an invitation to OSGeo Labs projects to participate in the incubation list, as for many routine questions we can help without a dedicated mentor.
  • Landon has the idea of setting up resources for community building / project marketing / project governance
