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

rasdaman
- mentor: Bruce Bannerman

- Rasdaman Incubation Checklist. (80%)
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.

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
