<p>thanks a lot for the work, the page is live and looks nice!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I understand correctly, the next step for the ETF to become an OSGeo Community Project is the approval from the OSGeo Board. Do you know when this could happen? We remain available in case any additional information or action is needed from our side.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Checking your page:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Nice logo :) Please use the white background to construct a tile of the appropriate size (if not our website does not look good)</div>
<div>2. The initial blurb may be too long for the project summary page (see <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.osgeo.org/projects/__;!!DOxrgLBm!A42ERRV71VmuN7AfYnNu37JVZzFFdkekBm3POx8h8Df6MhhmfnZv_NGD_UWW3-MlT98pLsd3v_gt29pJn_DVwvyTlLdG2Q$" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/projects/</a>
for example). Try for a sentence fragment or tagline - you do not even have enough space for a sentence.</div>
<div>3. Love the screen shot, it is so important for folks to see what they are going to be doing. If appropriate you can surround in a browser frame or laptop frame similar to (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/marketing/photos__;!!DOxrgLBm!A42ERRV71VmuN7AfYnNu37JVZzFFdkekBm3POx8h8Df6MhhmfnZv_NGD_UWW3-MlT98pLsd3v_gt29pJn_DVwvxPLKeunw$" target="_blank">https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/tree/master/marketing/photos</a>).</div>

<p>Dear Jody, all,</p>
<p>the page about the ETF on the OSGeo website is now ready for review and publication. You can find it as a draft page in the

The guide you suggested was useful!</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>From the discussion with the ETF Steering Group on the creation of this page, I collected some suggestions for potential improvement:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>- in the list of options under the menu <i>Topic</i>, you may want to add somewhere "Validation" (for example under
<i>Analysis and Processing</i>). This would be also useful for the TEAM Engine, which is already an OSGeo Project;</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>- in the list of <i>Standards</i>, you may want to add "ISO 19105" under the <i>
ISO</i> menu.<br>
</p>

<div>Finally, I'm happy to share with you that the talk on the ETF we submitted to FOSS4G 2022 was included in the main program that has just been published (on Friday 26 August at 11:30).<br>

<p>Dear OSGeo Incubation Committee,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am happy to contact you to propose a new project, the ETF testing framework, as an OSGeo Community Project.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The ETF testing framework [1,2] is an open source testing framework for validating spatial data, metadata and web services in Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). <span>The concepts in ETF are based on ISO 19105 and the OGC Specification Model which underpin
the standards used in SDIs. Tests are organized in Executable Test Suites (ETS), which can be developed and executed using different tools to support all kinds of resources. Currently supported ones are SoapUI for testing web services, BaseX for testing XML
documents, and TEAM Engine for re-using OGC tests. The ETF can be used via a predefined UI or via a REST API.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Many implementations of the ETF are currently available. The most popular is probably the INSPIRE Reference Validator [3], which makes use of the ETF to execute INSPIRE-specific ETS. Several EU Member States are also using the ETF (at different levels:
national, regional and local) to replicate the INSPIRE-specific tests and/or extend them with other tests based on national or other requirements.<br>
</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The ETF has been already presented at FOSS4G conferences:</p>
