The project incubation committee is responsible for overseeing the incubation process for new projects entering the foundation. The incubation committee provides resources to assist new projects to reach full membership, and makes recommendations to the board when they feel projects have completed incubation.

Progress in the incubator

The OSGeo incubation process takes place in three stages:

  1. Initial Application
    1. Review of application
    2. Project acceptance subject to mentor availability (Projects welcome to participate in OSGeo labs and incubation list)
  2. Incubation
    1. Project Status: project details, and a few resourcing questions for the system admin committee (see Project Status Template).
    2. Provenance Review: quick check to ensure the project is open source and has permission to distribute its source code.
    3. Final Checklist: review the project procedures and gather requested information for OSGeo participation
  3. Graduation
  4. Nomination by project mentor, motion accepted by incubation committee
  5. Incubation chair advises board, project appoints "project officer" at this time
  6. OSGeo board approval

The following projects are currently in OSGeo incubation:

  • pycsw: http://pycsw.org
    1. status template not filled out
    2. no provenance review provided
    3. no check list provided

The above pages are used to track the progress of incubation projects and are used by the developer team (and OSGeo mentor). In many cases the links will take you to a project specific wiki or website in order to be closer to their target community.

When projects have completed the incubation checklist their mentor will recommend them to the Incubation committee for graduation.

Graduated

The following status and provenance documents are for historical purposes, and are no longer actively maintained.


The initial projects to go through the incubation process helped define what is required. The above pages tracked the progress (and capture the experience) of these projects.
