I believe that needs to be clear on the osgeo website that these are two different project categories. If things have changed I think that this is an issue at the core of OSGeo and needs to be properly recorded by vote from the board and the PSC of the projects in incubation need to be notified.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Helena</div><div><br class=""></div><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div class="gmail_extra"><div class=""><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">--</div><div class="">Jody Garnett</div></div></div></div></div></div>

Then let us continue to use the "OSGeo Incubation logo" and provide<br class="">
visibility to our projects in incubation.<span class=""><br class="">
