<br>
I'm already on the Incubation list.<br>
<br>
I'm responsible for:<br>
<br>
OSGeo Labs: pgRouting<br>
I have taken on the role of developer and been very actively keeping the chat going on the list and informing the community about the progress of 2.0 during the develop. It has helpped a lot to get the community to be more active. Daniel Kastl and I have co-mentored 2 students each year of the past few years. I just release the 2.0 code that has lots of new features, new documentation, a new simple test infrastructure which has improved the quality of our released product. We have a lot to do graduate incubation and to create a more sustaining community.<br>
<br>
OSGeo Labs: PAGC<br>
This is all but dead, and can probably be taken off the list. I have extracted part of this technology and wrapped into a postgresql stored procedure and it is being used by the postgis Tiger geocoder and I have my own Tiger Geocoder and Navteq Geocoder that also use it. The developer has not gotten any recent funding and is not interested in spending more time on it.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to any support and ideas to help move us along the process.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

I'd like to ask all of the project contacts for the projects in OSGeo<br>
Labs to please subscribe to the OSGeo Incubation Committee mailing list.<br>
You can subscribe from this page:<br>
<a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator" target="_blank">http://lists.osgeo.org/<u></u>mailman/listinfo/incubator</a><br>
This list is low traffic. Once you all are subscribed, I'll have an easy<br>
way to communicate about your projects in labs.<br>
Please ping the list and introduce yourself once subscribed.<br>
After everyone has done that (hopefully in the next few days) I'll ask<br>
for some help from you guys to complete the Incubation Labs Inventory<br>
that is attached to this e-mail. Once the inventory is complete I'll<br>
start working on some plans to help each project in labs build its<br>
community.<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
Landon<br>

Subject: Preliminary OSGeo Incubation Labs Inventory<br></div><div><div class="h5">

<br>
I completed a preliminary inventory of projects in OSGeo Incubation Labs<br>
today. The inventory looked at 4 aspects of each of the projects that<br>
self-identified as a member of labs. These 4 aspects were:<br>
1) Community Resources<br>
2) Programmer Resources<br>
3) Project Governance<br>
4) Project Marketing<br>
Next week I will work with the project points-of-contact on eliminating<br>
the "unknown" data values. (There are currently quite a few of these.)<br>
Then I'd like to put together a standard community building and<br>
marketing plan that can be tweaked according to the specific status of<br>
each project in Labs. In this plan I'd like to focus on community<br>
building and project marketing. I included programmer resources and<br>
project governance in my inventory, but I sort of thought those aspects<br>
should be cheifly addressed in the actual incubation process. I thought<br>
Labs would focus on helping projects gain users and contributors.<br>
I'll see if I can help (or recruit help) for projects in Labs on things<br>
like logo design, web site maintenance, and user/programmer documentation.<br>
Then we can work on some joint marketing efforts, like an OSGeo<br>
Incubations Labs distribution or some articles highlighting projects in<br>
the Labs in the pages of the OSGeo Journal.<br>
At any rate, my inventory is attached and I'll be trying to do a bit<br>
more work before the end of this month.<br>
