<div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm writing to request that the incubation committee consider
PROJ-JNI (<a href="https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI</a>)
for inclusion as an OSGeo Community Project. This project's goal
is to provide a JVM ecosystem set of native bindings to upstream
PROJ, an increasingly important task given the increased
development speed of PROJ in recent years, starting with the
changes post PROJ 6. In particular, PROJ's shift to SQLite
requires that JVM users of PROJ eventually interoperate with
native libraries, making native bindings to PROJ itself a
logical next step.<br>
<br>
One very tangible benefit of inclusion, in addition to helping
build community support for the project, would be the potential
use of the org.osgeo/proj or org.proj/proj Maven coordinates as
a home for project releases. The project has an initial 1.0
functional release tagged on GitHub, but artifacts haven’t yet
been released to Maven Central given the placeholder group ID so
far.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions!<br>

- [ ] project page on the osgeo website (this we do not yet
have)<br>
- [x] We ask projects have some user documentation, for
example an OSGeo Live quickstart (linked from the README)<br>
- [X] Have a free license or an open source license. (MIT, <a
href="https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI/blob/master/LICENSE"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI/blob/master/LICENSE</a>)<br>
- [X] The license must be OSI approved (MIT)<br>
- [X] We ask that the project team check the file headers and
double check the license has been appropriately applied (it
appears on all code files)<br>
- [X] Welcome participation and new contributors (certainly
looking for contributors and participation, which is part of why
we seek to be a community project!)<br>
- [X] We look for a clear contribution policy (see README, we
will work through github)<br>
- [X] We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration,
perhaps with a history of bug report or pull requests (github)<br>
- [X] Projects are required to have a code of conduct
