I would call "Community Project" a project like "OSGeo Live" that is packaging other OSGeo Projects or "Geo4all" which is outreaching using OSGeo Projects: so a project which is more about "social" aspects rather then "software".</div><div>3- "downgrading" istsos from "incubating project" to "community project" may have an impact on the perception of the software quality by current or approaching users/clients</div><div><br></div><div>In short, I would not personally change the way it is.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward for other istSOS community member feelings......</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Maxi</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div class="h5"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2017-08-02 22:49 GMT+02:00 Jody Garnett <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jody.garnett@gmail.com" target="_blank">jody.garnett@gmail.com</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">Good afternoon list:</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px"><span style="font-size:small">istSOS</span> is listed as being an "Incubating Project" on <a href="http://osgeo.org/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">osgeo.org</a>.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">For the website redesign we are focused on grouping projects into OSGeo Community and OSGeo Project categories.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">For new logos please see: <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/incubation" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/<wbr>osgeo/tree/master/incubation</a><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.800000190734863px">We have an open question if an "osgeo incubation" logo is still useful?
