I’m currently working with our <a href="http://kepler.gl">kepler.gl</a> team to get the requested information. Meanwhile, we have a few questions that we’d appreciate your help in answering. </div><div><br></div><div>Basically, we are wondering after <a href="http://kepler.gl">kepler.gl</a> is selected a community project:</div><div><ol><li>what’s the next step?<br></li><li>will there be any obligations that we need to comply with?<br></li><li>will there be any agreements between <a href="http://kepler.gl">kepler.gl</a> and OSGeo in any form?<br></li><li>our team will remain the owner of the project roadmap and IP etc., right? </li><li>is there a limit to how long our project can remain listed on OSGeo website as a community project? Would there be any factors that would bump us off the list at some point, e.g. either OSGeo or Uber wants to take the project off the list for some reason?</li></ol></div></div><div><br></div><div>Your support is much appreciated!
