[OSGeo-Announce] Geomajas Graduates OSGeo Incubation

[Frank Warmerdam]

OSGeo is pleased to announce that the Geomajas project has graduated from
the incubation process and is now a full fledged OSGeo project with Pieter
De Graef appointed as project representative (Vice President, Geomajas).

Geomajas is the extensible open source web mapping framework, enabling
integrated GIS solutions for businesses and government.  It has an integrated
client-server architecture, with a high focus on server-side integration of
your data (be it through GeoTools or Hibernate).  This means that you apply
your security and business logic on the server before anything gets send to
the client, resulting in robust applications (see architecture) and a real
thin client.

Geomajas is a Java based end-to-end solution. By leveraging the GWT,
Hibernate, GeoTools and Spring, Geomajas offers an enterprise environment
for building web GIS applications.

Graduating incubation includes requirements for open community operation,
a responsible project governance model, code provenance and license
verification and general good project operation. Graduating incubation is
the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and gives potential users of the
project added confidence in the viability and safety of the project.
