Well, it seems that neither me not Helena approve this<br>
unilateral decision by the incubation committee.<br>
<br>
So, either we maintain status quo regarding project<br>
categorization or have the board voting to approve<br>
any change.<br>

<br>
And, I also see the "Project Incubation" logo at<br>
<a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/blob/master/incubation/OSGeo_incubation.svg" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo<wbr>/blob/master/incubation/OSGeo_<wbr>incubation.svg</a><br>

Let us continue to use it to provide visibility to projects<br>
being incubated.<br>

I propose the continued use of the same branding shown in the URL<br>
above with projects categorized as "OSGeo Project", "OSGeo Incubation<br>
Project" and "OSGeo Community Project”.<br>

Any change from previous categorization would require the approval<br>

The larger story is the focus not on our foundation, but on the software<br>
projects and outreach.<br>
<br>
* As such the incubation process is no longer called out on our website<br>
(or<br>
in our branding) because it does not have any significance to website<br>
visitors. Incubation is an internal process of our software foundation<br>
- it<br>
does not earn its keep introducing a "third branding" if we cannot<br>
explain<br>
succinctly what it actually means for potential users of the software.<br>
<br>
* The board introduced the idea of community projects in response to a<br>
call<br>
to be more inclusive and allow innovation<br>
<br>
* Including more projects in our community does not detract from the<br>
projects that were already in our community. We are doing more for<br>
software<br>
projects at OSGeo to help everyone.<br>
<br>
We have been avoiding a difficult conversation on osgeo project quality<br>
on<br>
and off since January. At our most recent F2F meeting we took some<br>
action<br>
items to hear a report from Maxi and Jeff McKenna (in Boston? details<br>
still<br>
be arranged). The question of what we have to offer community projects<br>
and<br>
osgeo projects, and what we expect in return, should be considered in<br>
one<br>
go to be fair to everyone.<br>
