Incubation checklist reviewed on email list, links provided below.

In response to this review several improvements were made by the community (see RFC section below).

Incubation Checklist

Open

1. Open and public manner

License:

Open Meetings:

  • As a consequence of moving through the Incubation process, the GeoMoose PCS has instituted a regular PSC meeting schedule of roughly once a month. These meetings are open and and usually occur online with an occasional Face to face meeting. The meeting Notes are published to the GeoMoose wiki.

Public decision making process:

  • Also as a consequence of moving through the Incubation process, the GeoMoose project has implemented a formal PSC that meets to discuss the project and make decisions. RFCs related to this action have been passed and additional related RFC's are in a pending state. This is a desirable development from the GeoMoose PCS group and they have been ver motivated to moving this along as a process.
