<p>Hi Jody, Angelos,</p>
<p>Thanks for the Doodle Poll - unfortunately I can't make either of
those times. </p>
<p>My 2p for the discussion:</p>
<p>
</p><li>Discuss renaming to "Projects" and update responsibilities /
mandate for this committee</li>
<p></p>
<p>Yes I think renaming from Incubator to something else is a good
idea. It seems to me that incubating projects is a relatively
small part of this committee's work. Mostly we seem to be helping
projects register as OSGeo Community Projects, which is really
great. I am sorry I have not been able to contribute to this
more. </p>
<p>From what I have heard, one blocker is people registering for a
OSGeoID - it takes time to request and receive the mantra and is a
stumbling block. I think? (Scott?) is looking at this whole
process and I think we should raise this as an important point.
Registering should be easy and ideally immediate. </p>
<p>
</p><li>Change from mailing list to discourse (to make access easier)</li>
<p></p>
<p>Yes - happy to change from mailing list to discourse. Hopefully
this might make monitoring requests to register as Community
projects easier to track, as everything will be located under one
thread? </p>
<p>Thanks very much Jody for taking the initiative. </p>
<p>Let me know if you'd like input on anything else specific!</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br>
Nick.</p>
