Jody Garnett (and Andrea Aime via email)
2.0.x
Discussion is complete, incubation process started with the submission of the:
Preflight:
- [OSGEO incubation questionnaire](OSGEO incubation questionnaire )
- OSGEO Trac ticket 423 .
Incubation documents (view able from OSGeo wiki ):
- [GeoServer Incubation Status](GeoServer Incubation Status)
- [GeoServer Provenance Review](GeoServer Provenance Review)
- [GeoServer Incubation Checklist](GeoServer Incubation Checklist)
Working documents:
- [Expectations and Examples](Expectations and Examples)
Quick: The community has asked us to join; apparently this would make a difference to GeoServer adoption.
Long: We discussed joining the OSGeo foundation when it was established (collaboration is after all a great deal of fun). The prospect of limited development resources being spread across both the GeoTools and GeoServer incubation process was a bit much.
From email:
Hi,
looking at the OSGEO thread it would seem all of the current PSC members
have voted positively:
The PSC has thus showed full will to go on with the OSGEO incubation.
Congratulations!
Now, time to more on. This wiki page:
[http://www.osgeo.org/incubator](http://www.osgeo.org/incubator)
describes the steps one needs to take in order to incubate.
I looked at the principles here: [http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/principles.html](http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/principles.html)
it seems to me we already satisfy most if not all of them, pending for
example a more careful review of our IP situation.
I guess the first step is to compile the questionnaire and find a project mentor.
What about compiling the questionnaire as a page on the wiki?
Cheers
Andrea

- Create a TRAC issue: ticket 423
-
Wait for the incbation committee to accept us and assign a mentor
- Landon Blake has contacted us, and will review above materials
- Go over graduation requirements with mentor and ask any questions we have
-
Incubation progress
- AA: Initial code providence review leading into initial application
- JG: License clarification for docs (also geotools license page).
-
Initial pass of [GeoServer Provenance Review] done by OSGeo FOSS4G-Au code sprint!
- Short list issues in JIRA, not required to fix!
- Thanks!
-
Code sprint held at FOSSS4G-au
- [GeoServer Provenance Review] completed!
-
Short list of issues raised during review
- 90% handled by Jody shortly after they were discovered
- Documentation License? Handled by GSIP - changed to CCbyA
- Data review is stuck on a few old datasets (states, tasmania). Now sourced.
-
Review OSGeo Graduation Checklist :
- JG: Open
- JG: Copyright and License
- JG: Process (github, jira, GSIP, meetings and email)
- JG: Documentation (user docs, developer docs with release procedure)
- JG: Release Procedure (defined procedure, automated testing, and CITE testing)
- Board: need a project officer when we get that far
- IT: Marketing IanT has filled in the OSGeo-Live page
- JG: Testing
- SAC: Need to set up http://geoserver.osgeo.org redirect? No direct link is fine…
-
Confirm with mentor we are ready
- Quickly create a [GeoServer Incubation Status]
-
Graduation
- Be on hand to answer questions from the incubation committee
- Select a PSC member represent the project to the OSGeo board: Andrea (who already follows the board list) has accepted the nomination
