<p>I've just reviewed the Oskari application to join OSGeo, and I
agree that the project looks to be an excellent candidate for
OSGeo incubation, and look to have done so many things right
already.</p>
<p>A few points:</p>
<p>* Arnulf, it seems you have added comments as a mentor? Have you
already stepped up to mentor this project?</p>
<p>* The only glitch I can see with the project is that it only
seems to be attracting community from government bodies from one
nation. Is that by design? Is it due to the particular needs of
Finish rules and regulations? I think the project would be much
more robust if it were attracting deployments and contributions
from multiple nations. I'd like to see some discussion on this
topic. What are future goals? What are plans to achieve these
goals?</p>
<p>* With regards to moving forward, there is nothing stopping
projects from starting to move through the incubation process
yourself. (We have been doing this for the OSGeo-Live project).</p>
<p>* In particular, if you wish to join the OSGeo-Live project, then
you can approach OSGeo-Live team as per:</p>

<div>I am happy to have a hangout or similar, but we have issues
getting enough people to run a meeting (given the timezone
differences). Currently we are in a holding pattern, the
limiting factor for incubation is volunteer mentors (not
projects applying).<br>

somehow this has slipped our attention. Oskari has filled
out the<br>
incubation application form here:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oskari_Incubation_Application"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/<wbr>Oskari_Incubation_Application</a><br>
<br>
They also submitted a ticket:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1838"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/<wbr>ticket/1838</a><br>
<br>
We never seem to have followed up?! They basically already
went through<br>
the hard stuff (find all contributors, get license texts
sorted out,<br>
CLAs, decision taking, voting, etc.) and are waiting for us
to attend to<br>
the process.<br>
<br>
They still have an interesting questions regarding
communication which I<br>
suggest should be discussed on this list because it is of
common<br>
interest. Specifically: Mailing lists.<br>
<br>
To me it appear that this may be becoming a larger issue
anyway and the<br>
Incubator is a good place to talk about this. Lately I am
hearing more<br>
and more comments like "Ugh, mailing lists are so 90s" and
similar when<br>
giving workshops or talking about how to get involved with
an Open<br>
Source project in general. Mailing lists are often seen as
this "old<br>
Unix and hacker stuff". Not relevant anymore.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
