<p>Hi Jody,</p>
<p>Thanks for your feedback. Since my last message, we created a
docker container that bundles all the services that we are
developing. We already had the option to install our service using
a helm chart because we want to have a service that is easily
scalable and low downtime. We also wrote an article how both of
them work:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://giscollective.com/2021/07/09/installing-giscollective/">https://giscollective.com/2021/07/09/installing-giscollective/</a>
Also, people who don't want or can run their own instances, can
use the ones that we maintain and are publicly available at these
urls: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://app.giscollective.com">https://app.giscollective.com</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://new.opengreenmap.org">https://new.opengreenmap.org</a><br/>
</p>
<p>We looked at the GeoMOOSE and gc2-vidi projects and we are going
to continue improving our docs. Is there anything else that we can
do to continue the incubation process?<br/>
</p>
<p>Best,<br/>
Bogdan<br/>

<div dir="ltr">Szabo the last cloud / website project did some
thinking about what it would mean to join a software foundation
and ended up presenting their technology as a framework (similar
to GeoMOOSE and other frameworks). The project is here <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/projects/gc2-vidi/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.osgeo.org/projects/gc2-vidi/</a>

<div>If you would like to see if the approach is appropriate for
you. A suitable goal would be quickstart instructions for
folks to set up their own service using completely open source
components.<br/>
</div>

</div>
<div>Discussion topic for incubation committee members. If we
continue to get platform applicants to OSGeo we may need to
consider how OSGeo values map to a new area.</div>
<div>Personally I have a great appreciation of platform /
framework projects and prefer the approach for code reuse to
some of our OSGeo software (like GeoNode and GeoNetwork) that
promote forking for customization affecting long term
sustainability and community development.</div>

<div>Hi Jody,</div>
<div><br/>
</div>
<div>We are two individuals developing the platform. We try
to develop a scalable microservices platform using open
source tools and infrastructure. We mostly use GPL
licenses for the user facing code and MIT for all the
libraries that we develop.</div>
<div><br/>
</div>
The code that we develop is published on gitlab:
<div><a href="https://gitlab.com/GISCollective" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://gitlab.com/GISCollective</a></div>
<div><br/>
</div>
<div>And our service desk can be found at</div>

<div>I hope this answers your questions.</div>

<div>Hi everyone,<br/>
</div>
<div><br/>
</div>
<div>Greetings from Berlin! My name is Bogdan
and I am the founder of the GISCollective
project: <a rel="noreferrer nofollow
noopener" href="https://giscollective.com/" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://giscollective.com/</a>
Our goal is to make maps easy to use and
create. The platform currently has features
for creating, managing and publishing all
sorts of
geographical data and is used now by Green Map
and other small
communities. Of course, the code is open
source and it can be accessed
here: <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://gitlab.com/GISCollective" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://gitlab.com/GISCollective</a><br/>
</div>
<div><br/>
</div>
<div>We would like to join the OSGeo community,
because we are convinced that
there are many other organization that can
benefit what we built so far. Do you think
that we would be a good candidate for your
incubator
program? If so what would be the next steps
that we need to take in
order to join your community? <br/>
