As Project Mentor I have worked closely with the TorchGeo PSC and code base. In my best judgement, I find that TorchGeo is not only a suitable candidate, but in fact a substantial addition to a large set of consequential and significant geospatial software projects of our current era, represented by OSGeo. <o:p></o:p></p><p>The Program Steering Committee (PSC) of TorchGeo is composed of a small but diverse group of committers; the PSC has defined clear standards for code contributions, bugs, features and additions. Due to the unique character of this training and benchmarking environment, many complete teams from more than a hundred institutions worldwide are contributing and active in the project. As a Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence environment itself, new data LICENSE challenges are present as well.<o:p></o:p></p><p>You will find abundant links and details in the project Application [1] and Code Review [2]. The TorchGeo project release cycle is integrated with OSGeo Planet and news -- <i>special thanks to</i> <b>JSanz</b>. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Please review and cast your vote at your earliest convenience. Questions and other inquiries will be handled on an OSGeo TRAC instance ticket [3]. The voting period shall begin with the date of this email, and scheduled to conclude in 14 days hence.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Special gratitude on this important day goes out to the <b>OSGeo Systems Administration Team</b> for TRAC, MediaWiki, <b>email</b> and support infrastructure<o:p></o:p></p><p> signed --Brian M Hamlin / MAPLABS / TorchGeo Project Mentor on behalf of #osgeo <o:p></o:p></p><p>##-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><p>[0] <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/projects/torchgeo/">https://www.osgeo.org/projects/torchgeo/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>[1] <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/wiki/TorchGeo">https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/wiki/TorchGeo</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>[2] <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/TorchGeo_Code_Provenance">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/TorchGeo_Code_Provenance</a><o:p></o:p></p><p>[3] <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3519">https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/3519</a><o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>Incubator mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Incubator@lists.osgeo.org">Incubator@lists.osgeo.org</a><br><a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator">https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________ Incubator mailing list Incubator@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/incubator <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
