[Incubator] Re: Motion: MapBuilder To Graduate Incubation

[Cameron Shorter]

One of the outstanding issues for Mapbuilder was to identify a 
Mapbuilder/OSGeo liason. The Mapbuilder PSC has kindly voted that I 
should take this role.

With regards to addressing marketing material. As yet, marketing 
material requirements have not flowed into the Graduation Template.
Until the Graduation Template contains marketing requirements, projects 
should not need to address these issues during graduation.

So the question is:
Do we hold up Mapbuilder graduation until we have a perfect set of 
Graduation critera?

I think we should be pragmatic and accept that we cannot have a perfect 
set of processes straight away. The processes will grow and improve over 
time.

Hence I stick with my vote of +1 for Mapbuilder graduation now.
