[Board] Motion: Accept PostGIS into Incubation

[Arnulf Christl (OSGeo)]

Folks,
PostGIS has been approved by the board for Incubation at the last meeting.
As we did not have quorum at the meeting the votes were done via mailing
list: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/board/2009-August/002987.html

This makes PostGIS an official OSGeo Project in Incubation.

WebCom,
can you please add the link http://www.postgis.org/ to the front page. I
am unsure whether PostGIS fits into any existing category - maybe
"Geospatial Libraries". If you think we need another category, go ahead. I
have filed at ticket, funny that it is 404:

PostGIS Users,
this is just for your information. PostGIS is now officially starting
OSGeo Incubation, you can follow the process here:

Best regards,
Arnulf Christl.
