*3. The project has documented its management processes.*
The answer provides links for how to contribute, committers guide,
developers guide, documentation guide.
Is there anything on the project management (like how decisions are made?)
The next section talks about a technical steering committee and a roadmap
defined by the technical steering committee board. So I guess I am asking
how one can join the technical steering committee</pre>

You have the information about this ("Adding new members to the

To suggest a new tool/functionality you can use the mailing list
(Spanish or English m.list) or directly add a feature request in
redmine.<br>
If you want to contribute
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://contribution.gvsig-training.com/index.php?idioma=en_GB">https://contribution.gvsig-training.com/index.php?idioma=en_GB</a>),
you can comment (optionally) if you have any preference for the
destination of the amount.<br>
But the main contribution of features are derived from gvSIG
Association projects. Anyway, any company or organization can
contribute with new plugins to gvSIG...following the quality rules
of the project (" How to contribute in gvSIG?") :

very clear in spanish)
*Board*
As incubation is wrapped up we will need to ask for a representative to act
as "project officer" (i.e. someone for the osgeo board to talk to on
occasion).
Do you have a volunteer in mind?</pre>

<pre wrap="">Dear all,
I am happy today to report to the list that the gvSIG project has
fulfilled in my view all the criteria put forward by the OSGeo
Incubation Committee and as the project mentor I support the project's
request for graduation.
gvSIG is one of the healthiest and very active projects around, with a
solid developer and user base. It has been around for a long time and
has done excellent things, the latest being an award at the NASA World
Wind contest received in FOSS4G-Europe in Como, Italy this month.
I had the chance to meet with the gvSIG people at FOSS4G-E in Como and
we finalized the checklist for the project graduation. You can find the
checklist here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Incubation_Checklist">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GvSIG_Incubation_Checklist</a>
The people around gvSIG have responded greatly to all the requests I
made as a mentor, they have gone even beyond that in many occasions,
e.g. by providing live statistics on their developers' activity.
They have gone through a code provenance review, they have user and
developer lists in many languages and they have in place governance
practices that abide with what I would consider proper governance of
open source projects.
I would like to ask the list to take the time and have a look to the
checklist mentioned above and if anything is found out of the order
please let me and Manuel Madrid <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:mmadrid@gvsig.com"><mmadrid@gvsig.com></a> know.
I would also like to ask Jody to initiate the proper time period for
comments and declare the time for voting when the time comes.
Finally I would like to thank Manuel and Alvaro from the gvSIG
Association for their excellent collaboration and to publicly apologize
to them that sometimes the work load prohibited me to be as available
and responsive as I would like.
Thank you for your attention,
Best regards,
Dimitris
P.S.1: Although the project has made a great effort to provide English
documentation for ... everything, some things might be found in Spanish
(their language of origin), as well as some of the most active lists are
the Spanish ones. I respected that and I let the project take its time
and decide by itself on what to translate and what not.
But I would like to say kudos on their efforts to provide everything in
at least both Spanish and English.
P.S.2: Since during the process we had to switch from the checklist
v.1.0 to v.2.0 of graduation requirements I was wondering what is the
proper way to introduce comments and requests for changes for this.
