Jody, I'm nervous about this suggestion, as I think it will make the
process of reading the document disjointed and difficult, as readers
would need to jump from checklist, to FAQ, then back to checklist
again.<br>

avenue for further clarification in the future.</div>

</div>
<div>For now I will double check all examples are in italics; and
await your feedback about taking the clarifications out of line
with the main checklist.</div>

<br>
My preference is to be making use of italics as you suggest.<br>

My notes against the meeting logs below:<br>
<br>
13:34:51 jgarnett: Back to agenda .. 4 )
Graduation Checklist - review and approve<br>
13:35:00 jgarnett: Readable copy here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Draft_Project_Graduation_Checklist_Draft"
target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Draft_Project_Graduation_Checklist_Draft</a><br>
13:35:01 sigq: Title: Draft Project Graduation
Checklist Draft - OSGeo Wiki ( at <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org"
target="_blank">wiki.osgeo.org</a> )<br>
13:35:19 jgarnett: Can I ask if anyone has had a
chance to review this? ( Or the earlier red shifted
version )<br>
13:35:46 pspencer_: minor comments: the
Intellectual Property section first sentence makes no
sense with the bullets that follow?<br>
13:36:50 jgarnett: let me try and keep up<br>
13:37:22 jgarnett: pspencer_: The first sentence
is about all that made sence to me ( that is the reason we
are checking; to ensure we are able to release )<br>
13:37:39 jgarnett: under processes the bullet
points are supposed to describe what we look for in the
developer guide<br>
<br>
Pagameba has corrected:<br>
"We need to ensure that project owns or otherwise has
obtained the ability to release:"<br>
to:<br>
"We need to ensure that project owns or otherwise has
obtained the ability to release <ins>the project code by
completing the following steps</ins>:"<br>
<br>
13:35:56 : * FrankW_ has reviewed.<br>
13:36:08 pspencer_: under processes, should the
last two bullets be numbers instead?<br>
<br>
CameronShorter: I'd like to see a list like:<br>
1. xxx<br>
2. xxx<br>
3. xxx<br>
3.1 xxx<br>
3.2 xxx<br>
<br>
Howerver, unless we hard code the list numbers, media wiki
only allows:<br>
1. xxx<br>
2. xxx<br>
3. xxx<br>
1. xxx<br>
2. xxx<br>
<br>
I think this second option is not very good, hence rolling
back to lists of:<br>
1. xxx<br>
2. xxx<br>
3. xxx<br>
*. xxx<br>
*. xxx<br>
<br>
pspencer, if you fell strongly enough about this to push
for a change, then feel free to suggest your preference.<br>
<br>
13:36:21 jsanz: the intellectual property point 4
makes not a lot of sense to me<br>
13:36:53 FrankW_: I agree with jsanz that IP point
4 should be struck<br>
13:38:22 jgarnett: jsanz: Apache retains the
ability for the their foundation to shut off downloads in
the event a legal complaint is made; this is to prevent an
escalating damages calculation and to show the ability of
acting in good faith.<br>
13:38:41 jgarnett: ( not saying I like that; just
that is something to consider in terms of protecting the
foundations … a$$sets )<br>
13:38:49 FrankW_: I don't see any need for a
project to do something in advance to enable this.<br>
13:39:02 FrankW_: If something comes up then
reasonable efforts would be made to withdraw downloads.<br>
13:39:10 jsanz: they mean shut off THEIR download
servers, right?<br>
13:39:46 jgarnett: FrankW: I think the check about
downloads is more to have a procedure in place.<br>
13:40:03 pspencer_: sounds like documenting how
the project will deal with blocking legal issues is needed<br>
13:40:10 FrankW_: I am not aware of any project
with an a-priori procedure in place nor do I see any
special need for this.<br>
13:40:17 jgarnett: jsanz: In case you are
wondering; we *did* have this happen during the geoTools
review ( we found we were distributing some jars we were
not allowed to and had to withdraw several years with of
downloads )<br>
13:40:53 jgarnett: FrankW: I would be fine with
removing it; it is really about the board's expectations.<br>
<br>
In line with discussion above, and because I agree with
sentement, the following has been removed:<br>
"# The project has the ability to shut off downloads if a
blocking legal issue is found."<br>
<br>
13:36:22 jgarnett: heh<br>
13:36:26 pspencer_: typo in Processes #2 ( > at
end of sentence )<br>
13:36:47 jgarnett: Some typos may be me trying to
reduce the document to readable form ...<br>
<br>
Fixed by Pagameba<br>
<br>
<br>
13:37:55 FrankW_: I actually also do not think
there should be any discussion of checking for patents.<br>
13:39:19 jgarnett: FrankW: I agree the patent
check is bullshit; you need lots of money to do that; and
I don't want to see that in a checklist unless the
foundation is hiring professionals to do the check.<br>
<br>
CameronShorter: The patent check line is not in our last
1.0 version of this document. So already incubated
projects will not have passed this criteria. I agree it
should be removed.<br>
<br>
Removed: "# The project has checked for inappropriate use
of trademark or patents and the results of such checks
have been documented."<br>
<br>
<br>
13:42:01 jgarnett: Thinking: I am not really keen
on having a shared editing session ( since this is
supposed to be a meeting )<br>
13:42:17 jgarnett: Suffice to say I think the
document is not ready; and I don't think we can make it
ready in the next 20 mins.<br>
13:42:29 pspencer_: agreed<br>
13:42:47 jgarnett: With that in mind; could we
continue with our meeting. And if people are keen we can
return to editing roulette.<br>
13:42:57 FrankW_: ok<br>
13:42:58 jsanz: yes, but I think is pretty good as
is<br>
13:43:01 jsanz: ok<br>
