I am muddling along mentoring Deegree; and my initial point of contact has left the employment of lat/lon.<div><br></div><div>This raised two things for me:</div><div>- first time I have seen the incubation process as the undertaking of a single developer; and not a community effort</div>
<div>- to question if I was on the right list (deegree-devel) and if I should hunt around for an admin or steering committee list</div><div><br></div><div>Checking on the principles page:</div><div>- <a href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/principles.html">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/principles.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I do not specifically see diversity of development community as a concern; it is almost written into the assumptions that talk about community and contributors. However I do not wish to miss-represent the incubation process.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Here is what I was checking for:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><div class="Ih2E3d" style="color: rgb(80, 0, 80); ">
> However I am more interested in seeing a community response to the<br>> inccubation process rather than it being the responsibility of lat/lon.<br>> One of the things I am supposed to figure out is how diverse the<br>

</div>Does this diversity have any relevance for the incubation process? As you will<br>have noticed, the deegree 2 code is currently maintained by developers working<br>at lat/lon -- and most parts have been written by them as well. However, we're<br>
hoping to change this with deegree 3, so more active external developers become<br>involved...</span><br><div><br></div><div>Can I ask the email list here to help me respond. I seem to recall us checking out GeoNetwork and wanting to make sure that it was supported by a number of organizations and not just an internal FAO project.</div>
