<br>
I hope you are well.<br>
<br>
Apologies if I missed the reply to the request sent on 27th August 2025.<br>
<br>
We are keen on CoastalME becoming a OSGeo project so we can apply for a mentorship program.<br>
<br>
Can you please provide an update on our request? Do you need further information?<br>

Hi Jody,<br>
<br>
Many thanks for your email and examples, which has been very useful.<br>
<br>
Yesterday we (all CCed) discussed how to best address your questions, and I am replying to you on behalf of the core developing team.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
* CoastalME is not a library but a domain specific geospatial tool<br>
<br>
<br>
* From your questions it was evident to us that you see CoastalME as a library and not as a domain specific geospatial tool.<br>
* Your perception was correct based on the old OSGeo CoastalME project site (CoastalME - OSGeo<<a href="https://www.osgeo.org/projects/coastalme/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/projects/coastalme/</a>>) where I marked library as the primary Topic (my bad!)<br>
* I have now modified the OSGeo project site and selected Other as project type and as a topics: Analysis and processing, and made raster processing our primary topic<br>
* I have also modified the wording in the content section of the OSGeo website to make it clear to the layperson the different use case of CoastalME: planner or scientist/engineer<br>
* Quick start guide has now been added to github and linked to the OSGeo website<br>
* The new quickstart guide is here: coastalme/QUICKSTART.md at main ? coastalme/coastalme<<a href="https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme/blob/main/QUICKSTART.md" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme/blob/main/QUICKSTART.md</a>><br>
* I have provided examples (link to full open publications) of two different use types: planners and system modellers where the inputs and outputs and how CoastalME can be use to integrate different models/rules are explained.<br>
* We believe that this geospatial software fits better under the category of ?Domain specific GIS?<br>
* For headers, you indicated it is done, where did you do the check? Is there an issue in your issue tracker?<br>
* Our SVC Administrator has checked that all headers are included<br>
* According to our commiter guidelines, this checking is part of the SVC administrator role >> coastalme/development/rfc/rfc2_commiters.md at main ? coastalme/coastalme<<a href="https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme/blob/main/development/rfc/rfc2_commiters.md#svc-administrator" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme/blob/main/development/rfc/rfc2_commiters.md#svc-administrator</a>><br>
* As the developer community grows and the code updates become more frequent we will automatize the process by adding a commit hook and we will update the commiters guidelines<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Let me now if you need further information.<br>
<br>
All the best.<br>
<br>

Subject: Re: [Incubator] CoastalME community project application<br>
<br>
Hi Andres,<br>
<br>
Let me try and find some examples.<br>
<br>
When I read your quickstart, it is about checking out, building the library and running some test cases?<br>
<br>
Q: How do I use it for my own data?<br>
<br>
For examples of other QuickStarts have a look at the OSGeo Live project, there are several library examples: <a href="https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html#geospatial-libraries" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html#geospatial-libraries</a><br>
<br>
Q: Is it possible to download the library, or only check out and compile?<br>
<br>
If downloading and wished to use the library, what do I need to do to use it with my own data?<br>
<br>
Q: For headers, you indicated it is done, where did you do the check? Is there an issue in your issue tracker?<br>
<br>
Here are some examples from other projects:<br>
<br>
* <a href="https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/wiki/OSGeo-Community-Project-Requirements" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/wiki/OSGeo-Community-Project-Requirements</a><br>
These folks used a commit hook to ensure headers applied<br>
* But your statement that you have checked is fine, for this requirement. I am just curious if you had a record of the work; perhaps you found some files to fix for example.<br>

Thanks,<br>
<br>
Going over checklist I wanted to see if there were docs?<br>
<br>
* User guide or quickstart:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start</a> << correct, this link is connected to the QuickStart icon on the OSGeo CostalME There is not a distinct user documentation or quickstart is there? << the quick start is shown in the link above, and the user documentation is available as a peer reviewed publication on Geoscientific Model Development (<a href="https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/10/2715/2017/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/10/2715/2017/</a>) which is cited in the dedicated Wiki site (link shown below). The paper is the most detailed documentation to date and we are hoping that as part of the OSGeo mentoring we can populate the wiki site to make it more dynamic and collaborative.<br>
You also link to:<br>
<a href="https://earthwise.bgs.ac.uk/index.php/Category:Coastal_Modeling_Environment" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://earthwise.bgs.ac.uk/index.php/Category:Coastal_Modeling_Environment</a><br>
<br>
<br>
* Checking headers, did you find anything? Was there an issue in the issue tracker where you checked the headers? << Is this a question for us, or a question for other OSGeo members? If it is for us, we have included the header shown here (<a href="https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme?tab=License-1-ov-file#coastalme-general" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/coastalme/coastalme?tab=License-1-ov-file#coastalme-general</a>) in to our source code. could you please explain what should we do to complete this task?<br>
<br>
Let's see what other folks think and then make a motion to be voted on.<br>
