                              The OSGeo Incubation Project Graduation
                              Checklist is at [1].<br>
                              <br>
                            </div>
                            We need to be able to make the case that the
                            Rasdaman Project meets the requirements
                            outlined in this checklist.<br>
                            <br>
                          </div>
                          I suggest that this is best done if we were to
                          construct a concise document that clearly
                          addresses each point of the checklist showing
                          how Rasdaman is ready for graduation, and that
                          contains links back to the authoritative
                          corresponding page within the Rasdaman Project
                          wiki.<br>
                          <br>
                        </div>
                        We currently have at least two pages that refer
                        to the incubation status of Rasdaman [2] and
                        [3].<br>
                        <br>
                      </div>
                      The page at [3] is probably a good starting point.<br>
                      <br>
                    </div>
                    Some suggestions:<br>
                    <br>
                  </div></div>
                  - treat the the checklist at [1] as a set of
                  requirements that we need to meet. We need to be able
                  to convince the Incubation Committee and the OSGeo
                  Board that the Rasdaman Project is ready for
                  graduation from the Incubation process.  <br>
                  <br>
                </div>
                - provide a short succinct statement that explains the
                details of how Rasdaman meets each requirement.  I
                don't believe that an icon with a tick will be
                sufficient to convince people who are unfamiliar with
                the project that the requirement is met.<br>
                <br>
              </div><div class="">
              - There may be follow up work that is also required, e.g.
              ensuring that we have resolved all outstanding IP issues.
              As an example, one of the requirements is that all project
              documentation is available via an open license (e.g.
              Creative Commons) to ensure that the documentation is
              available for re-use. How is this handled on both the wiki
              and also in static documentation.<br>
              <br>
            </div></div><div class="">
            Let's start with an initial draft and work out what needs to
            be done from there. We may need to set up a Google hangout
            or two once we've had time to reflect on the draft.<br>
