    <p>Dear Incubation Committee, <br>
    </p>
    <p>the bottle neck to Incubation for Oskari is not a lack of mentors
      but appears to be a lack of responses from the committee members
      to the motion. We have the following members listed at [1], can
      you please check whether you voted: <br>
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li> Bruce Bannerman   +1</li>
      <li> Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques
      </li>
      <li> Landon Blake
      </li>
      <li> Howard Butler
      </li>
      <li> Arnulf Christl

      <li> Jody Garnett (chair)

    </ul>
    <br>
    The motion was open until March 23 - so maybe I have to reiterate my
    motion. Here goes: <br>
    <br>
    <b>Motion</b> to accept Oskari into Incubation based on the
    application at [2] with myself (Arnulf Christl) as mentor. <br>
    <br>
    +1 <br>
    <br>
    This motion will be open for two weeks until April 18. Please do not
    hesitate to vote -1 in case there is something amiss with the
    application, this is by no means trying to push anything. Hint:
    There are some interesting aspects: This project is "owned" by an
    informal network (Oskari Network), they do not have mailing lists
    but afaict function properly. Should we recommend to start using ML
    or ask them to find another means that would satisfy our
    requirements? <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Thanks,<br>
    Arnulf<br>

                          somehow this has slipped our attention. Oskari
                          has filled out the<br>
                          incubation application form here:<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/t<wbr>icket/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>
