Hi Jody,<br>
Great to hear there is some activity happening with the CRS
libraries.<br>
But the question is not as to whether the projects are active, but
rather whether there are people within the projects wishing to push
these projects through the OSGeo Incubation process.<br>
<br>
Rob, Martin, any thoughts from you?<br>
<br>
I'd suggest we give people a week or 2 to respond, probably try and
reach out directly as well, and if there are no takers, then we
should gracefully have these projects step back from the OSGeo
Incubation process, in order to better reflect the current OSGeo
status of these projects.<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<div>MetaCRS is kind of a "top-level" project facilitating
communication between a number of different groups. As such it
may be able to recast itself as a "committee" (that has a

<div>I think MetaCRS would be a great candidate for an "OSGeo

<div>If we set up "OSGeo Technology" right these individual
projects will meet their goal of being recognized as the
fundamental components that they are (and be supported).</div>

and OSGeo Incubation people,<br>
Has there been any activity on the MetaCRS project [1] over
the last few years? The last active ticket I see is from
2013.<br>
<br>
It is listed as one of the projects in OSGeo-Incubation, and
I think has been in incubation from close to the start of
OSGeo founding?<br>
<br>
Is anyone working on it? And in particular, does anyone
doing any work on taking Meta-CRS through incubation?<br>
<br>
I'm wondering whether it should be retired from the
incubation process, or maybe the scope of projects it is
trying to incubate be reduced?<br>
<br>
I ask in part because we include a description of MetaCRS in
OSGeo-Live, but have no point of contact to maintain
documentation since Mike Adair has stepped back from OSGeo
activities.<br>
