I hear you, and you are correct that innovation can happen<br>
anywhere. I look forward to alternate name suggestions.<br>
"Experiment" would do a disservice to a completed project<br>
that does not yet have a large/diverse enough community to<br>
meet our graduation requirements.<br>
<br>
My fellow board members were a bit startled that our<br>
incubation policies do inhibit the support smaller projects,<br>
and would like an avenue to support innovation. It may be<br>
that both these objectives cannot be met with the same<br>
initiative, but I would like to try.<br>

Hi Jody,<br>
I understand the naming confusion. The Innovator name<br>
however has IMO a negative reflection on the established<br>
projects. Are new projects necessarily more innovative<br>
than established ones? Often they are still so small<br>
they don't have established communities/structures etc<br>
in place. That's indeed why the Labs were created.<br>
I will think about another potential name and I hope<br>
others feel the same and will also think of an<br>
alternative naming for the Labs. I remember you saying<br>
something like Hatching (synonym of incubating, so maybe<br>
to co fusing).<br>
Maybe OSGeo Experiments.<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jeroen<br>
