[Board] [Incubator] FINAL Reminder: Motion: Accept the Open Data Cube Project as an OSGeo Community Project

Thu Apr 29 18:10:03 PDT 2021

Hello Colleagues,

This is the final reminder for the vote on this motion. The vote closes today.

We are still short of our quorum.

I’d like to thank Tom, Bob, Jo, Arnulf, and Daniel for taking the time to review the Open Data Cube project and vote.

As a community, we’d like to attract vibrant projects to OSGeo. 

However, I am seeing with this vote and a number of others in the past that we are struggling to to get the vote for good projects over the line.

This is not sending a good message to the communities of projects that have expressed a desire to join OSGeo.

I appreciate that we are all busy, but this lack of response from some of the Incubation Committee is just not good enough. 

If you don’t believe the vote deserves to succeed vote -1. Don’t just ignore it!

@OSGeo Board,

I suggest that you have a look at the rationale and the make up of the Incubation Committee and whether it should continue in its current form.

Kind regards,

Bruce
