You made the request to me as incubation chair.

And a similar one in response to the zoo-project:

The treasurer made the request to be me as incubation chair.

The budget committee stopped functioning, the board has taken over that
responsibility (and indeed it is our focus for December).

The incubation committee was asked to manage the osgeo community activity
when it was formed (initially focused on setting good clear guidelines for
joining).

Ideally ZOO-Project can graduate and operate independently next year (with

That would be great! It is really what we are trying for.

Right, and for OSGeo activities usually we try for a mix of donations and
osgeo budget.

Any way, please consider that community projects have the option to look

Yes, and if a community project / local chapter / inititive has something
cool going on they can always approach the board (or one of the other
committees) for financial support.
