this last remark of Bruce highlights the issue:<br>
<br>

<br>
Same here - due to manifold obligations I cannot always respond
immediately, in particular on issues requiring specific attention.<br>
<br>
So, instead of<br>
> - putting a limit on the response time.<br>
let me suggest to jointly move forward.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your patience and understanding.<br>

We still have some outstanding requests for additional
information from the Rasdaman community:<br>
<br>
</div>
- Cameron's request for a summary of how Rasdaman meets
each incubation checklist point. I was going to add
additional observations to that provided by the
community where required.<br>
<br>
</div>
- following on from Frank's request and my follow up
emails, we're waiting for a comment from the Rasdaman PSC
on how they see that the Rasdaman community could add
functionality that is currently within the commercial
version to the community version, should the community
deem this action to be desirable. From Rasdaman Community
user feedback, an excellent example to guide this response
could be the inclusion of support for 'null' values.<br>
<br>
</div>
While I understand that key community members have had other
commitments, I suggest either: <br>
<br>
- putting a limit on the response time.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>- withdrawing the motion recommending graduation, pending
an appropriate response.<br>

Comments:<br>
<br>
I have been monitoring and
participating in the Rasdaman
Community developer and user email
lists for over four years. I plan to
continue to participate within the
community.<br>
<br>
It has been pleasing to see how the
community has evolved over this time
to develop effective, open and robust
processes. <br>
<br>
I recommend to other FOSS4G
communities to review what has been
done, as you may well find that
Rasdaman offers a compelling solution
for the management of
multi-dimensional array or gridded
data that your project may be able to
capitalise on.<br>
<br>
<div>A summary of community activity
may be found at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.openhub.net/p/rasdaman"
target="_blank">https://www.openhub.net/p/rasdaman</a>
<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Key project members are active within
both OSGeo and the OGC.<br>
<br>
Within the OGC they have successfully
guided a range of standards to support
mutltidimensional array (gridded) data
which have culminated (currently) in
Web Coverage Service version 2.0 and a
suite of extensions, see: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs"
target="_blank">http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs</a><br>
<br>
The project's principal, Professor
Peter Baumann was also recently
awarded OGC's prestigious Kenneth D
Gardels award for his contributions to
OGC.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<div>After having participated within
the community for four years and
having reviewed their OSGeo Project
Graduation Checklist, I believe that
Rasdaman Community have fulfilled
the requirements of OSGeo Incubation
and are eligible to graduate as an
OSGeo Project.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
<br>
</div>
The only reservation that I have is
over the dual licensing model that is
used by the sponsoring company,
Rasdaman GmbH. See: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.rasdaman.com/Product/commercial+free.php"
target="_blank">http://www.rasdaman.com/Product/commercial+free.php</a>
<div
style="width:16px;min-height:16px;display:inline-block"> </div>
<br>
<br>
There are two versions: Community (GPL
and LGPL) and Enterprise (free from
GPL constraints).<br>
<br>
The main difference between the two
versions is summarised at: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.rasdaman.org/wiki/Features"
target="_blank">http://www.rasdaman.org/wiki/Features</a>
<div
style="width:16px;min-height:16px;display:inline-block"> </div>
<br>
<br>
This dual licensing may create a
problem for the Rasdaman Community in
the future should Rasdaman GmbH decide
to sell its stake in the Rasdaman
Enterprise version of the software. We
have already seen a similar situation
arise after the sale of MySQL which
was similarly licensed. <br>
<br>
However as the community edition of
the software is released under open
source licenses, I expect that the
main impact would be to the continuity
of the Rasdaman Community in its
current form. In the event of a sale,
we may see the software forked, as
happened with MySQL.<br>
