Hi Massimiliano,<br>
Yes, it is disappointing that istsos hasn't progressed into
incubation yet.<br>
It seems to have slipped off the radar.<br>
<br>
I have a few suggestions:<br>
1. Even if not in incubation, there is nothing stopping a project
starting to put OSGeo processes in place, and filling out incubation
documentation. Once you are in incubation, this will make incubation
much faster. And you will likely find the incubation committee much
more likely to help push your project through incubation if your
project is already mature. (OSGeo-Live is not officially in
incubation, however, we have been filling out our incubation
checklist).<br>
<br>
2. If you do want to move into incubation, I suggest getting all
your documentation in order, and include references to it, such that
it can easily be built into a motion that the incubation committee
can vote on. If Arnulf is your mentor, he should be able to help
with that.<br>
<br>

<p dir="ltr">Dear incubation committee, <br>
I'm embarassed in writing this email...</p>
<p dir="ltr">but after a very very long waiting I have to complain
for the treatment the istsos software is receiving. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Is the same for all the software or just this project
is not considered? </p>
<p dir="ltr">Almost one year ago I apply for entering incubation,
the committee asks me to follow the procedure with form.. Then
ticket.. And I fill everything. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The committee said we need a mentor, Arnulf
volunteered, and the committee, I think, voted approving istsos
to pass in incubation. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Then?.... Nothing... And one year is passed! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I think the committee shall make a motion to the
board to approve the decision, but it never happened.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The result? Istsos is not in incubation: not in the
website nor in any talk I have followed. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Why making a motion is so difficult? </p>
<p dir="ltr">If this is the treatment for new software approaching
our community I believe something does not work at all! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I know people are volunteer and not paid, but the
welcome steps are minimal: reading a page, vote, and make a
motion. </p>
<p dir="ltr">If we get stack here, and after several remainders
from my side, this is really discouraging.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sorry for this email.</p>
