Thanks for looking out for the incubation committee; and indeed taking on the challenging role of an OSGeo treasurer / board member.</div><div><br></div><div>I am glad to accept the nomination as it is one way I can be actively contribute given the distance in timezones. I will note that as chair I will not be able to be quite so flamboiant in my proposals (perhaps that is for the best).</div><div>-- <br>Jody Garnett<br><br></div>

<span><div><div>Hi IncCom,<br><br>As I stated at the OSGeo AGM in Denver, the Incubation Committee has <br>been quite inactive in the last year or so and we need to fix that. <br>There are a few projects currently in the incubator that have been <br>sitting there for a few years with very little visible activity/progress <br>and we need to either put some pressure or assist with whatever is <br>currently blocking them (hoping it's not just lack of interest on the <br>project's part).<br><br>Unfortunately, in the last few months I have not been able to give <br>IncCom the time it deserves from a chair to make it more active, and the <br>situation is just going to get worse with my new commitments as <br>treasurer of the OSGeo board and other business and personal commitments.<br><br>For this reason, I have to revise my priorities and have decided to step <br>down as IncCom chair to leave room for some new blood and energy.
