<br>
I am happy today to report to the list that the gvSIG project has<br>
fulfilled in my view all the criteria put forward by the OSGeo<br>
Incubation Committee and as the project mentor I support the project's<br>
request for graduation.<br>
gvSIG is one of the healthiest and very active projects around, with a<br>
solid developer and user base. It has been around for a long time and<br>
has done excellent things, the latest being an award at the NASA World<br>
Wind contest received in FOSS4G-Europe in Como, Italy this month.<br>
<br>
I had the chance to meet with the gvSIG people at FOSS4G-E in Como and<br>
we finalized the checklist for the project graduation. You can find the<br>
checklist here:<br>
<br>

<br>
The people around gvSIG have responded greatly to all the requests I<br>
made as a mentor, they have gone even beyond that in many occasions,<br>
e.g. by providing live statistics on their developers' activity.<br>
They have gone through a code provenance review, they have user and<br>
developer lists in many languages and they have in place governance<br>
practices that abide with what I would consider proper governance of<br>
open source projects.<br>
<br>
I would like to ask the list to take the time and have a look to the<br>
checklist mentioned above and if anything is found out of the order<br>
please let me and Manuel Madrid <<a href="mailto:mmadrid@gvsig.com">mmadrid@gvsig.com</a>> know.<br>
I would also like to ask Jody to initiate the proper time period for<br>
comments and declare the time for voting when the time comes.<br>
<br>
Finally I would like to thank Manuel and Alvaro from the gvSIG<br>
Association for their excellent collaboration and to publicly apologize<br>
to them that sometimes the work load prohibited me to be as available<br>
and responsive as I would like.<br>
<br>
Thank you for your attention,<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Dimitris<br>

P.S.1: Although the project has made a great effort to provide English<br>
documentation for ... everything, some things might be found in Spanish<br>
(their language of origin), as well as some of the most active lists are<br>
the Spanish ones. I respected that and I let the project take its time<br>
and decide by itself on what to translate and what not.<br>
But I would like to say kudos on their efforts to provide everything in<br>
at least both Spanish and English.<br>
<br>
P.S.2: Since during the process we had to switch from the checklist<br>
v.1.0 to v.2.0 of graduation requirements I was wondering what is the<br>
proper way to introduce comments and requests for changes for this.<br>
