Wiki-Robertbray: /* Overview */

= Overview =
This is not a formal OSGeo project, just a spot to discuss some ideas for creating a general purpose C/C++ geospatial library. The idea is to collaborate on a single library that would include everything from geometry types, geometric analysis, and projection support, to more advanced things like geo-coding functions, topology routines, and routing. The desire is not to re-invent the wheel, but to integrate the best technology today into a single uniform library and make that a common place for collaborating on new geospatial functionality.

Incubation Committee

2007-02-03T07:39:08Z

Wiki-Robertbray: /* Progress */

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.

== Documents ==

* Official incubator web page is at: http://osgeo.org/incubator/index.html (with members list)
* Incubation process docs: http://osgeo.org/incubator/process/index.html
* [[Contributor Agreement]] and FAQ
* [[Incubation FAQ]] (very incomplete)
* [[Project Infrastructure Migration]]
* [http://producingoss.com/html-chunk/index.html Producing OSS] - by Karl Fogel - an excellent primer on running an FOSS project.
* [[Project Copyright Assignment]]

== Meetings ==
Meetings are scheduled via [[Mailing Lists]] and take place via [[Getting_Started#Jump_on_IRC | IRC]] at the times specified in the [[Foundation Calendar]].
* [[IncCom Meeting1|First Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting2|Second Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting3|Third Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting4|Fourth Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting5|Fifth Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting6|Sixth Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting7|Seventh Meeting]]
* [[IncCom Meeting8|Eighth Meeting]]

== Progress ==
We are watching the initial projects go through the incubation process as a method of defining what is required. The following pages track the progress (and experience) of these projects.

* [[Project Status Template]]
* Geotools: [[GeoTools Incubation Progress]] | [[GeoTools Provenance Review]]
* GDAL/OGR: [[GDAL Incubation Progress]] | [[GDAL Provenance Review]]
* GRASS: [[GRASS Incubation Progress]] | [[GRASS Provenance Review]]
* MapServer: [[MapServer incubation status]]
* OSSIM: [[OSSIM incubation status]]
* MapGuide: [[MapGuide Incubation Status]] | [[MapGuide Provenance Review]]
* GeoNetwork: [[GeoNetwork Incubation Status]]
* OpenLayers: [[OpenLayers Incubation Status]]

Each project may also have a page describing the incubation process on their own community website, the above pages are explicitly for the incubation comittee to learn from experience.

== Graduated ==

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