Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] New incubation procedure
(we are approaching 2 full years that this "labs" naming has been an
issue and discussed[1])
Today, knowing how ingrained the term 'lab' is in the GeoForAll
education network, maybe Jachym is correct that it is a good time to
modify the Incubation's "labs" term, to something like "Community
Projects".

Botany Lab, Robotics Lab etc. And we wanted to make sure there is a
dedicated Open Source Geospatial Lab in universities worldwide (which

to make use of the same terminology/structure of "Labs" which is widely
used in the university environment to get academics start the initiative in
their respective universities (also it is easier for them to convince their
higher management on a structure that is known to them than reinvent a new

Hi Jachym,
do you think that with the renewal you can replace the name "OSGeo Labs"

<pre wrap="">by something else? Now we have also ISPRS-ICA-OSGeo Research and
Educational laboratories which might be often shortened to OSGeo Labs,
although I prefer OSGeoRELs for writing. The mainling list is
ica-osgeo-labs. Put perhaps it is not such an issue since the term "Geo for
All" (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.geoforall.org/">http://www.geoforall.org/</a>) is now used more and more (well, the
linked website as OSGeo Labs in the title element).
