<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Jody,<BR><BR>_Rasdaman Incubation Status Update_<BR><BR>The
Rasdaman Incubation checklist is being maintained at [1].<BR><BR>My general
observations on the project for the last period are:</FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT size=2>Overall, the project appears to be in good shape, with 26 new
user registrations this month alone.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Project activity has increased with a marked increase in
email traffic on the developer and user lists.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Considerable activity is occuring related to documenting and
fine tuning of software release processes, including tying these to processes
relating to the use of git.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Work is underway to support git branching with a view towards
maintained releases.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Work is under way to support regression testing for
OGC compliance e.g. WCPS and WCS. </FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Work is underway to improve the testing
framework.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Rasdaman's CRS name resolver has been deployed as OGC's
official CRS name resolver.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>I'm starting to see future planning activities being
presented to the Rasdaman Community for comment. This is good to
see.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>We still don't have documented processes describing a range
of factors, however I anticipate that these will come in time. Some examples
are:</FONT></LI>
<UL>
<LI><FONT size=2>Project Governance and processes</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>Who is on the Project Steering Committee? How are PSC
members (s)elected, replaced etc? What are the responsibilities of the
PSC?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>What Code review is expected for new contributions? Who
does this review?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>How are Commiters selected? What are their
responsibilities? How is commit status reviewed?</FONT></LI></UL>
<LI><FONT size=2>The project has a reasonably well defined roadmap [2]. What
I'm not clear on yet is e.g.:</FONT></LI>
<UL>
<LI><FONT size=2>How was this roadmap has been defined?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>What community review process is used to arrive at the
roadmap?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>How were relative priorities determined?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT size=2>How are new priorities balanced against existing
priorities?</FONT></LI></UL></UL><FONT size=2>

Well with bi-monthly meetings<BR>>
falling by the wayside it has been very quiet around here.<BR>><BR>>
I have a couple of things to work
on:<BR>>
- catch up on Trac<BR>>
<http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/query?status=new&status=assigned&<BR>status=reopened&component=Incubator&order=priority><BR>>
- Landon was interested in<BR>>
mentoring a project<BR>><BR>>
And I would like to ask
mentors<BR>> for an update on incubation progress. I will send an email
to<BR>> the board on the status of incubation projects at the end of<BR>>
the month. This is one of our responsibilities<BR>> <<A
href="http://www.osgeo.org/incubator">http://www.osgeo.org/incubator</A>>
as a committee (although no<BR>> timeframe was given).<BR>>
