(NOTE: The following is all for discussion purposes, and not firmly established yet)

Apache Incubation Process
The Apache incubation process is serving as a rough guide for the OSGeo incubation process. Details can be found at:
A Apache vs. OSGeo Incubation Review discusses one view of how OSGeo incubation might be similar, and different from Apache incubation.
Incubation Completion Criteria
- Has the code been adequately vetted to assure it is all properly licensed? (Some notes at IP_Issues_Discussion_Document#Inbound_Contributions)
- Have all code committers signed appropriate Contributor Agreements. (Rich working on draft agreement)
- Does the project have a governance policy and a project management committee established that ensures decisions can be made, documented and adhered to?
- Is the developer community working in a reasonably healthy way? Open to input, new members and reaching consensus on decisions?
Tasks
The initial set of tasks and ideas are posted on the IncubatorTODO page
Issues
- How to deal with long term projects such as GRASS (started 1982) in terms of a Contributor Agreement? Is the Debian-Clearance and GPL clearance sufficient?
