<p>Hi Julien,</p>
<p>You might want to look at the OSGeo-Live incubation page we have
set up:</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Incubation_Graduation_Checklist">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Incubation_Graduation_Checklist</a></p>
<p>The OSGeo-Live project is not officially "in incubation", but
that hasn't stopped us from working on addressing the incubation
steps and answering the questions.</p>
<p>Addressing these steps ensures that you are building a strong
community project.</p>
<p>You might also want to have a look at a proposed next version of
the checklist:</p>

<div>Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thank you for your answer.<br>
</div>
I am totally agree, proj4php is a bit young (even after 7
years !).<br>
</div>
<div>But somes continue to get interested on it.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I am going to complete proj4php strategy to match your
checklist !<br>
</div>
<div>And as Jody tolds me, a first step will be to became a
community project.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I will keep incubator lists in touch.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Regards,<br>

<p>Hi Julian,</p>
<p>It sounds like proj4php has good foundations, and would
be a candidate for being an OSGeo project in a few
years, but is still a bit young to be ready for OSGeo
Incubation.</p>
<p>I suggest a better checklist to look at is the OSGeo
Graduation Checklist. This is what you would be aiming
for if you wished to complete graduation.</p>

<div>Hi Jody,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I really appreciate your help !<br>
<br>
</div>
However, it depends on what a mentor should be
! Does an osgeo member can be a mentor ?<br>
I eventually know Thomas Bonfort by the past.
He is a committer and PSC member of MapServer.
I am going to ask him.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>By the way, I am starting to make proj4php
as a community project !<br>

<div>Thanks Julien - have been collecting
some applications on the osgeo issue
tracker for incubation. Curently it can be
tricky to find a mentor for new projects
(or in this case new to OSGeo proejcts) -
did you have a mentor in mind?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would encourage you to apply as an
OSGeo "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Community_Projects"
target="_blank">community project</a>" -
it is a faster way to be included in OSGeo
(as it does not require finding a suitable
mentor</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Aside: We really should revise this
list of application questions - thinks
like the question on "infrastructure" was
from the time when OSGeo svn was
considered more cool then source forge CVS
for version control.</div>

<div>Dear OSGeo members, Mr
Garnett,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>As you may know, proj4php
is an open source project,
started in 2009, and recently
hosted on github : <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/proj4php/proj4php"
target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/proj4php/proj4php">https://github.com/proj4php/proj4php</a></a><br>
This is not a huge project,
but we got a tiny community to
be grown. <br>
<br>
In order to describe our
project, here is answers for
questions from this page :<br>

<div> > Please describe your
Project. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Proj4php is a php library
for geographic coordinates
transformation using proj4
definitions</div>
<div><br>
> Why is hosting at OSGeo
good for your project? <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Most of library using proj4
definitions are hosted at
OSGeo. It gives the project
more sens for the users, and
more visibility.<br>

<div>The 1.0 stands for old
releases (php under 5.2), and
the 2.0 releases are the
latests.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
> What is the origin of
your project (commercial,
experimental, thesis or other
higher education, government,
or some other source)? <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Proj4php gets its origin as
I was stuck on delay on a php
project with strong hosting
constraints. I translated
proj4js in php, and set its
source code open the same
night.<br>
</div>
<div>Then a little community
started to grow. Winne27,
nickolanack, judgej made real
good work on proj4php to
develop it and help others to
use it. <br>
