                      <p>OSGeo is pleased to announce that ZOO-Project
                        has graduated from incubation and is now a
                        full-fledged OSGeo project. Gérald Fenoy,
                        founder and chair of the ZOO-Project Steering
                        Committee (PSC), has been appointed as project
                        officer.</p>
                      <p>ZOO-Project is an open-source platform for
                        implementing and developing efficient tools for
                        processing geospatial and non-geospatial data
                        based on the OGC standards.</p>
                      <p>Graduating<a
                          href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation"
                          target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">
                          incubation</a> includes fulfilling
                        requirements for open community operation, a
                        responsible project governance model, code
                        provenance, and general good project operation.
                        Graduation is the OSGeo seal of approval for a
                        project and gives potential users and the
                        community at large an added confidence in the
                        viability and safety of the project.</p>
                      <p>The ZOO-Project Steering Committee collectively
                        recognizes this as a big progressive step for
                        the project. ZOO-Project has been an active
                        contributor to various open source initiatives
                        inside and outside OSGeo such as FOSS4G, OSGeo
                        Code Sprints, OGC Code Sprints, Joint
                        OSGeo-OGC-ASF (Apache Software Foundation) Code
                        Sprints, Google Summer of Code. The ZOO-Project
                        PSC says, “<i>We are excited about the future of
                          the project and have been working towards the
                          incubation approval for a long time. It is our
                          honor to be an OSGeo incubated project”.</i></p>
                      <p>OSGeo and ZOO-Project would like to thank Tom
                        Kralidis, Dimitris Kotzinos, Frank Warmerdam,
                        and the OSGeo Incubation Committee for their
                        assistance during this Incubation process.</p>
                      <p>Congratulations to the ZOO-Project community!</p>

                      <p>About ZOO-Project</p>
                      <p>ZOO-Project is a Web Processing Service (WPS)
                        implementation written in C, Python and
                        JavaScript. It is an open source platform which
                        implements the WPS 1.0.0, WPS 2.0.0, and OGC API
                        – Processes – Part 1: Core standards edited by
                        the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). It
                        provides a developer-friendly framework for
                        creating and chaining WPS compliant Web
                        Services. Additionally, it offers efficient
                        tools for creating new innovative web services
                        and applications.</p>
                      <p>ZOO-Project is able to process geospatial or
                        non geospatial data online. Its core processing
                        engine (aka ZOO-Kernel) lets you execute a
                        number of existing ZOO-Services based on
                        reliable software and libraries. It also gives
                        you the ability to create your own WPS Services
                        from new or existing source code, which can be
                        written in seven different programming
                        languages. That allows you to compose or turn
                        code as WPS Services simply, with
                        straightforward configuration and standard
                        coding methods.</p>
                      <p>ZOO-Project is very flexible with data input
                        and output so you can process almost any kind of
                        data stored locally or accessed from remote
                        servers and databases. ZOO-Project excels in
                        data processing and integrates new or existing
                        spatial data infrastructures, as it is able to
                        communicate with map servers and can integrate
                        webmapping clients.</p>

                        as an independent legal entity to which
                        community members can contribute code, funding
                        and other resources, secure in the knowledge
                        that their contributions will be maintained for
                        public benefit. OSGeo also serves as an outreach
                        and advocacy organization for the open source
                        geospatial community, and provides a common
