=== Open Source Semantic GIS toolkit ===
thinkGeo is a branch of [http://www.integratedmodelling.org/home/home.html ThinkLab]. After years of development by a close-knit core at the [http://ecoinformatics.uvm.edu// Ecoinformatics Collaboratory] of the [http://www.uvm.edu/giee// Gund Institute, University of Vermont], we are looking for a broader community to use and develop thinkGeo.

=== Source Code ===
thinkGeo consists of the foundational plugins of ThinkLab (core, corescience, geospace, time, modelling), and is currently housed in the
[https://imt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/imt/branches/thinkgeo-0.11// thinkgeo branch] of the ThinkLab SourceForge Repository.

=== OSGeo Labs Criteria ===
# License: thinkGeo is open source software, written in platform-independent Java. Terms of use are defined by the General Public License, version 3 or any later version.
# Encumbrances: thinkGeo is willing to keep code clear of encumbrances.
# Geospatial; thinkGeo links semantic content defined in ontologies with geospatial web resources. Therefore thinkGeo is a geospatial application.

Wiki-Tara athan: /* Young or Experimental Projects */

= OSGeo Labs Projects =

= Purpose =
OSGeo Labs is a place to list Open Source Geospatial Software that hasn't reached Incubation status. OSGeo Labs aims to:
* Help projects progress to OSGeo Incubation.
* Advertise projects and find like minded developers.
* Merge with similar projects. A project has a greater chance of reaching Incubation when integrated with similar projects.

This is the right place to start submitting your project so other OSGeo members can review them and send you feedback.

== Criteria ==
Projects should only list themselves in OSGeo Labs if they follow the OSGeo Incubation principles.
# The code is under an OSI approved license (data & doc projects need to specify their choice for a type of license).
# The project is willing to keep code clear of encumbrances
# The project is "geospatial", or directly supports geospatial applications.
# The project hopes to become a graduated OSGeo project, or have reasons why incubation is not appropriate.

==Becoming a Labs Project==
Becoming an OSGeo Labs should be easy and encouraged to all project that respond to criterias above. All project that use the OSGeo infrastructure or that wants to assign their copyright to OSGeo should add themselves below.

==Pending Incubation==
Projects which have self assessed themselves ready for incubation and waiting for a mentor: [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=assigned&component=Incubator&keywords=%7Eapplication List from OSGeo trac]
* [http://mapwindow.org MapWindow] - The MapWindow project was started in 1998 and became open source in January, 2005. It includes an ActiveX component (similar to ESRI's now discontinued MapObjects tool) an extensible desktop application, and a set of .NET libraries (MapWindow 6) which are intended to be an alternative to ESRI's ArcObjects. The MapWindow team has been a supporter of OSGeo since its inception, with workshops and exhibits at all-but-one FOSS4g conferences and participation on various OSGeo committees and efforts. We just held our first formal project conference in April 2010 at which the team agreed to apply for incubation status with OSGeo. The application is forth-coming.

==Stable Projects==
* [http://geowebcache.org GeoWebCache]
* [http://pgrouting.org pgRouting]

==Young or Experimental Projects==
* [http://geoext.org GeoExt]
* GeoFunctions [http://sourceforge.net/projects/geofunctions/ Geo Functions sourceforge page]
* Geoinformatica [http://trac.osgeo.org/geoinformatica/ OSGeo trac site]
* [[OpenGeocoder]]
* [[OpenRouter]]
* [http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/src/andyt/java/grids/ Grids]
* [[OSGeo Graphics]]
* [[SemanticGeo]], a project for Open Source Semantic Geospatial Software

== Responsibilities ==
OSGeo Labs aims to have minimal red tape to reduce overhead.

===Project Champion===
The Project Champion is responsible for:
# Strongly recommended: Read Karl Fogel's book on [http://producingoss.com/ Open Source Software - How to Run a Successful Free Software Project]
# Ensure the project complies with OSGeo principles by addressing the [[#Criteria]] above.
# Create a home page for the project. The OSGeo wiki is recommended for this page. A page should answer the OSGeo [[#Criteria]].
# List the project under the appropriate heading on this page.
# Announce and discuss the project on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss OSGeo Discuss] email list.
# Move the project toward incubation.

===Incubation Committee===
The OSGeo Incubation Committee is responsible for:
# Investigate, then possibly remove a project from OSGeo Labs if it doesn't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].
# Periodically (at least annually), review projects in OSGeo labs and remove projects which have "died" or don't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].

== Helpful Resource ==
# Get your project a mailing-list and a bug tracker
## [http://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge] provides code repository, mailing list and bug tracker services. (contact [mailto:sunburned.surveyor@gmail.com Landon Blake] to get help on SourceForge service)
# Approach the [[Spotlights]] editors about doing a spotlight interview about your project.

===Assigning Copyright to OSGeo===
Many graduated OSGeo projects choose to assign their copyright to OSGeo. A young project can assign its copyright to OSGeo by:
* TBD: As of 15 April 2009, the process for assigning copyright has not been resolved, it is being discussed on the OSGeo discuss email list. It may involve the following:
** Asking the incubation committee and doing it
** Having a graduated OSGeo project mentor yours

===Using OSGeo infrastructure===
It's possible to use OSGeo infrastructure to host your project or to have a trac and subversion server. You can get help if your project respond to criterias above and ask the right person for it.

== Disclosure ==

OSGeo or any of its affiliates do not take responsibility or endorse any of the software listed here. OSGeo doesn't guarantee the integrity of the code or any other aspect of the above softwares.

= OSGeo Labs Projects =

= Purpose =
OSGeo Labs is a place to list Open Source Geospatial Software that hasn't reached Incubation status. OSGeo Labs aims to:
* Help projects progress to OSGeo Incubation.
* Advertise projects and find like minded developers.
* Merge with similar projects. A project has a greater chance of reaching Incubation when integrated with similar projects.

This is the right place to start submitting your project so other OSGeo members can review them and send you feedback.

== Criteria ==
Projects should only list themselves in OSGeo Labs if they follow the OSGeo Incubation principles.
# The code is under an OSI approved license (data & doc projects need to specify their choice for a type of license).
# The project is willing to keep code clear of encumbrances
# The project is "geospatial", or directly supports geospatial applications.
# The project hopes to become a graduated OSGeo project, or have reasons why incubation is not appropriate.

==Becoming a Labs Project==
Becoming an OSGeo Labs should be easy and encouraged to all project that respond to criterias above. All project that use the OSGeo infrastructure or that wants to assign their copyright to OSGeo should add themselves below.

==Pending Incubation==
Projects which have self assessed themselves ready for incubation and waiting for a mentor: [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=assigned&component=Incubator&keywords=%7Eapplication List from OSGeo trac]

==Stable Projects==
* [http://geowebcache.org GeoWebCache]
* [http://pgrouting.org pgRouting]

==Young or Experimental Projects==
* [http://geoext.org GeoExt]
* GeoFunctions [http://sourceforge.net/projects/geofunctions/ Geo Functions sourceforge page]
* Geoinformatica [http://trac.osgeo.org/geoinformatica/ OSGeo trac site]
* [[OpenGeocoder]]
* [[OpenRouter]]
* [http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/src/andyt/java/grids/ Grids]
* [[OSGeo Graphics]]
* [[thinkGeo]], a Semantic GIS toolkit

== Responsibilities ==
OSGeo Labs aims to have minimal red tape to reduce overhead.

===Project Champion===
The Project Champion is responsible for:
# Strongly recommended: Read Karl Fogel's book on [http://producingoss.com/ Open Source Software - How to Run a Successful Free Software Project]
# Ensure the project complies with OSGeo principles by addressing the [[#Criteria]] above.
# Create a home page for the project. The OSGeo wiki is recommended for this page. A page should answer the OSGeo [[#Criteria]].
# List the project under the appropriate heading on this page.
# Announce and discuss the project on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss OSGeo Discuss] email list.
# Move the project toward incubation.

===Incubation Committee===
The OSGeo Incubation Committee is responsible for:
# Investigate, then possibly remove a project from OSGeo Labs if it doesn't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].
# Periodically (at least annually), review projects in OSGeo labs and remove projects which have "died" or don't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].

== Helpful Resource ==
# Get your project a mailing-list and a bug tracker
## [http://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge] provides code repository, mailing list and bug tracker services. (contact [mailto:sunburned.surveyor@gmail.com Landon Blake] to get help on SourceForge service)
# Approach the [[Spotlights]] editors about doing a spotlight interview about your project.

===Assigning Copyright to OSGeo===
Many graduated OSGeo projects choose to assign their copyright to OSGeo. A young project can assign its copyright to OSGeo by:
* TBD: As of 15 April 2009, the process for assigning copyright has not been resolved, it is being discussed on the OSGeo discuss email list. It may involve the following:
** Asking the incubation committee and doing it
** Having a graduated OSGeo project mentor yours

===Using OSGeo infrastructure===
It's possible to use OSGeo infrastructure to host your project or to have a trac and subversion server. You can get help if your project respond to criterias above and ask the right person for it.

= OSGeo Labs Projects =

= Purpose =
OSGeo Labs is a place to list Open Source Geospatial Software that hasn't reached Incubation status. OSGeo Labs aims to:
* Help projects progress to OSGeo Incubation.
* Advertise projects and find like minded developers.
* Merge with similar projects. A project has a greater chance of reaching Incubation when integrated with similar projects.

This is the right place to start submitting your project so other OSGeo members can review them and send you feedback.

== Criteria ==
Projects should only list themselves in OSGeo Labs if they follow the OSGeo Incubation principles.
# The code is under an OSI approved license (data & doc projects need to specify their choice for a type of license).
# The project is willing to keep code clear of encumbrances
# The project is "geospatial", or directly supports geospatial applications.
# The project hopes to become a graduated OSGeo project, or have reasons why incubation is not appropriate.

==Becoming a Labs Project==
Becoming an OSGeo Labs should be easy and encouraged to all project that respond to criterias above. All project that use the OSGeo infrastructure or that wants to assign their copyright to OSGeo should add themselves below.

==Pending Incubation==
Projects which have self assessed themselves ready for incubation and waiting for a mentor: [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=assigned&component=Incubator&keywords=%7Eapplication List from OSGeo trac]

==Stable Projects==
* [http://geowebcache.org GeoWebCache]
* [http://pgrouting.org pgRouting]

==Young or Experimental Projects==
* [http://geoext.org GeoExt]
* GeoFunctions [http://sourceforge.net/projects/geofunctions/ Geo Functions sourceforge page]
* Geoinformatica [http://trac.osgeo.org/geoinformatica/ OSGeo trac site]
* [[OpenGeocoder]]
* [[OpenRouter]]
* [http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/src/andyt/java/grids/ Grids]
* [[OSGeo Graphics]]
* [http://www.integratedmodelling.org/home/home.html thinklab] basic: five plugins that form the foundation of thinklab: core, corescience, geospace, time and modelling. [http://imt.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/imt/trunk/thinklab/plugins// SourceForge Repository]

== Responsibilities ==
OSGeo Labs aims to have minimal red tape to reduce overhead.

===Project Champion===
The Project Champion is responsible for:
# Strongly recommended: Read Karl Fogel's book on [http://producingoss.com/ Open Source Software - How to Run a Successful Free Software Project]
# Ensure the project complies with OSGeo principles by addressing the [[#Criteria]] above.
# Create a home page for the project. The OSGeo wiki is recommended for this page. A page should answer the OSGeo [[#Criteria]].
# List the project under the appropriate heading on this page.
# Announce and discuss the project on the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss OSGeo Discuss] email list.
# Move the project toward incubation.

===Incubation Committee===
The OSGeo Incubation Committee is responsible for:
# Investigate, then possibly remove a project from OSGeo Labs if it doesn't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].
# Periodically (at least annually), review projects in OSGeo labs and remove projects which have "died" or don't follow OSGeo Labs [[#Criteria]].

== Helpful Resource ==
# Get your project a mailing-list and a bug tracker
## [http://sourceforge.net/ SourceForge] provides code repository, mailing list and bug tracker services. (contact [mailto:sunburned.surveyor@gmail.com Landon Blake] to get help on SourceForge service)
# Approach the [[Spotlights]] editors about doing a spotlight interview about your project.

===Assigning Copyright to OSGeo===
Many graduated OSGeo projects choose to assign their copyright to OSGeo. A young project can assign its copyright to OSGeo by:
* TBD: As of 15 April 2009, the process for assigning copyright has not been resolved, it is being discussed on the OSGeo discuss email list. It may involve the following:
** Asking the incubation committee and doing it
** Having a graduated OSGeo project mentor yours

===Using OSGeo infrastructure===
It's possible to use OSGeo infrastructure to host your project or to have a trac and subversion server. You can get help if your project respond to criterias above and ask the right person for it.
