 : On 2 Feb 08, Richard recommended the ossim project for graduation from incubation.  Subsequent review by incubation committee members has led to additional changes and improvements.  Currently awaiting formal review by the incubation committee.
 : In Sep 08 the incubation committee put OSSIM incubation status on the agenda.  OSSIM incubation status is to be reviewed, last known action was an email from Frank Warmerdam suggesting several improvements to the internal source code license and copyright documentation.  Many of these changes have been subsequently implemented.  It was agreed that the overall status would be reviewed and presented at an upcoming incubation meeting.
 : 24 Feb 2009 - Time to complete the incubation review and process.  OSSIM continues to be an active project focusing on a scientific approach to remote sensing and photogrammetry.  The core C++ library is mature, most of the development is currently focused on OMAR, ossimPlanet and ImageLinker applications built on the core software library.  Provenance code review was completed, subsequent clarifications and comments were addressed.  Recommend the project be brought before the committee and voted on for incubation graduation.

 ; Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
 : Project Steering committee has just been formed.  Currently consists of six developers with commit privileges.  Garrett Potts is the designated lead and has final say over software architecture implementation.  A module system needs to be added allowing segmented checkin control for other contributors.  This should not impact incubation status.
-: On average the core developers meet for lunch in Melbourne Florida once a month in Melbourne Florida.  During these meetings we typically discuss the overall direction of the project and key areas that contributors are working on.  Significant recommendations are summarized and posted to the mailing list.  The ossim core library is fairly mature and stable.  Therefore there has not been a lot to report recently with regard to interface or refactoring changes.  There are ideas for an OSSIM 2.0 that are being accumulated on the wiki.
