+1 for the term "OSGeo Technology" for the old "OSGeo Labs". I think
it captures well the concept we are trying to express.<br>
I'm not sure you if you had other questions you are looking for us
to answer?<div><div><br>

<div>
<div>Before we start are there any questions about the balance
we are trying for here? I would like to make sure we are on
the same strategic page before proceeding to details:</div>

<div><b>OSGeo Projects: </b>This is our traditional risk
adverse "incubation" process focused on helping project teams
meet our goals as an organization (open source, transparency,
inclusive, low-risk). This process has been setup to be non
invasive (preserving how a community is already functioning) -
as such it offers little tangible guidance on how to meet
objectives - only offering examples and inspiration. Each
project finds a different aspect to work on during incubation
- the common theme is that each project has been improved by
going through OSGeo incubation (and the incubation process
improves each time we have a successful graduate). <br>
</div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div>
<div><b>OSGeo Technology:</b> This is the new deal for
on-boarding new open source projects and supporting projects
that have been traditionally out of our reach as a
Foundation. Goal here is open-source outreach and being
inclusive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not in Scope:</div>
<div><b>- </b>The resulting "OSGeo Technology" and "OSGeo
Projects" have the full support of the foundation behind them
- determining what that support is (and what more the
foundation can do) is not the point of this email thread.</div>
<div>- Approach used it out of scope (suffice to say different
goals require a different approach)</div>
<div>- Naming this new initiative has its own email thread.</div>
