<p>Hi Jo, <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for your welcome</p>
<p>For the license we use the Cecill-B witch is basically a BSD
French adapted, if this is a problem I think we could change to
BSD.</p>
<p>In our code files we have never included a license headers I'm
going to work on this and hopefully get it done next week.<br>
</p>
<p>Creating a contributors.md file seems a good idea, I'll work on
this too.<br>
</p>
<p>Tanks for your help, <br>
Best Regards<br>

<div>Hi Armand,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Welcome! I've taken a look at the gitlab repository at <a href="https://gitlab.veremes.net/open-source/vmap" target="_blank">https://gitlab.veremes.net/open-source/vmap</a>
and checked our guidelines at <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation/</a>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The guidelines for community projects are:
<ul>
<li>geospatial<br>
</li>
<li>open source license, with source code check of headers</li>
<li>accepts contributions</li>
</ul>
<div>It's definitely geospatial, so that ticks off the first
item in the list. The license is an unusual one to me, and I
had to google it, which led me to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCILL" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCILL</a>.
People with more experience that I might have a different
view on this, but I wonder if you should state somewhere the
difference between your license and BSD/MIT?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, I did a random check of some code in a few folders
and I couldn't find many files with license headers. Is that
something you could look at?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Finally contributions- I can see from the repository
contributors graph that you have commits from a number of
people, which is good, but including a contributors.md file
to help guide new people wanting to commit would be helpful.
This might be the best place to add some explanation about
your license.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the best</div>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Few months ago on the 13th "Jornadas de SIG libre" in
Girona (Spain) we've make a presentation of our WebGIS
vMap (<a href="https://vimeo.com/showcase/6126225/video/347719352" target="_blank">https://vimeo.com/showcase/6126225/video/347719352</a>).</p>
<p>vMap is an OpenSource WebGIS tool based on PostgreSQL /
PostGIS, you can find more information on the
documentation <a href="https://vmap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/presentation/presentation/" target="_blank">https://vmap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/presentation/presentation/</a></p>
<p>At the end of the presentation María Arias de Reyna from
OSGeo Spain asked me why do not make vMap as an OSGeo
Community Project and I told her it would be an honor to
do it. So we start working on traducing the software and
documentation and searching other companies to share the
project management.</p>
<p>Today translation is almost done and a company that work
mostly on 3D data using lidar and drones wants to join the
team.<br>
</p>
<p>We are really interested on working with OSGeo so I would
be glad to have your opinion.</p>
Best regards,
