My personal request is you write down how the communication works now, and do not set a goal as it may not be needed.</div><div><br></div><div>You can take inspiration from other projects that <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Graduated" target="_blank">completed gradation</a> and how they filled in this section.</div><div><br></div><div><b>open communication</b>: The key is "public" communication, but can be a shared chat channel, or active stack exchange (email was common when open source started but is less common now). There are reasons to have private communication channels (GeoServer has a private security email list but we do document that it exists and committers can be included if they are in a position to help fix vulnerabilities). For a quick check I look at the repo README.</div><div><br></div><div><b>open community:</b> Another aspect is that people can join the project and join the project leadership.We want to avoid the "single dictator" model as that is brittle. For a quick check I look at a repo CONTRIBTING.md.</div><div><br></div><div>The checklist should be in a place where your team collaborates (a place they all have permission to edit):</div><div>- If you use GitHub there is a markdown copy <a href="https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/incubation/documents" target="_blank">here</a> to take into your wiki</div><div>- If you use OSGeo wiki copy one of the other examples</div><div>- If you use your own wiki or something that is also fine</div><div><br></div><div>When you and your mentor are happy the mentor will nominate the project and share the checklist. You are also welcome to share as you write and ask questions about difficult sections.</div><div><br></div><div>And I do not want the incubation sprint planning to get lost in this discussion, when you have a date Maxi there are several options for funding.<br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_-7660919669469692255gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>--</div><div>Jody Garnett</div><div><br></div><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><span lang="EN-US">Dear Jody and Incubator-list,<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">Indeed, we’re still very interested in graduating as full members. Last time we had communications (On 24/8/18 12:46 am ) left us a bit waiting for answers to our questions, the most important probably being:<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">“What kind of concrete indicators would you like to see [that we have ‘an open community and communication’]? What could be a good goal?”<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">I.e. what could we do as a community in order for it to be more open? One thing contributing to that comes to mind (from the top of my head): We’ve since changed from Slack to the open-for-everyone-without-invitations Gitter (<a href="https://gitter.im/oskariorg/chat" target="_blank">https://gitter.im/oskariorg/chat</a>). AFAIK Gitter stores chat history indefinitely, which is a good thing. The PSC-memos are on GitHub and some of the discussion is on the mailing list.<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">As for the graduation checklist, unfortunately I can’t find information where it should be filled. The website <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/resources/project-graduation-checklist/" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/resources/project-graduation-checklist/</a>has a downloadable PDF which is probably the one that should be filled?<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">Most of the information required is probably already here <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oskari_Incubation_Status" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Oskari_Incubation_Status</a> but we’d be happy to fill the new one.<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">So, can you please point us to a list we can fill? Do we send it back to this list then?<br></span><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">Many thanks in advance!<br></span><img class="gmail-m_-7660919669469692255gmail-ajT"><br><span lang="EN-US"> <br></span><span lang="EN-US">- Timo</span></blockquote></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
