Great to hear there is some activity happening with the
CRS libraries.<br>
But the question is not as to whether the projects are
active, but rather whether there are people within the
projects wishing to push these projects through the OSGeo
Incubation process.<br>
<br>
Rob, Martin, any thoughts from you?<br>
<br>
I'd suggest we give people a week or 2 to respond,
probably try and reach out directly as well, and if there
are no takers, then we should gracefully have these
projects step back from the OSGeo Incubation process, in
order to better reflect the current OSGeo status of these
projects.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron

<div>MetaCRS is kind of a "top-level" project
facilitating communication between a number of
different groups. As such it may be able to
recast itself as a "committee" (that has a

<div>If we set up "OSGeo Technology" right these
individual projects will meet their goal of

Incubation people,<br>
Has there been any activity on the MetaCRS
project [1] over the last few years? The last
active ticket I see is from 2013.<br>
<br>
It is listed as one of the projects in
OSGeo-Incubation, and I think has been in
incubation from close to the start of OSGeo
founding?<br>
<br>
Is anyone working on it? And in particular,
does anyone doing any work on taking Meta-CRS
through incubation?<br>
<br>
I'm wondering whether it should be retired
from the incubation process, or maybe the
scope of projects it is trying to incubate be
reduced?<br>
<br>
I ask in part because we include a description
of MetaCRS in OSGeo-Live, but have no point of
contact to maintain documentation since Mike
Adair has stepped back from OSGeo activities.<br>
