              Incubator List,<br>
              <br>
              We at MapCentia has been building an open source project
              called <br>
              MapCentia GC2. Which is actual two projects:<br>
              <br>
              GC2 - Combines PostGIS, MapServer, QGIS Server, MapCache,
              Elasticsearch, <br>
              Ogr2ogr and more into one easy-to-use web application.<br>
              <br>
              Vidi - A modern take on web GIS. It is the front-end for
              GC2.<br>
              <br>
              We think that the project is so good, that more people
              should benefit <br>
              from it. So we suggest that MapCentia GC2/Vidi should be
              an OSGeo <br>
              Community Project.<br>
              <br>
              A more selfish reason for joining OSGeo is, that we would
              like to <br>
              involve more people in the development. And we think
              becoming an OSGeo <br>
              Community Project could help us with that.<br>
              <br>
              The MapCentia project is today used by municipalities,
              engineering <br>
              firms, museums among many others.<br>
