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

[Bruce Bannerman]

Dear OSGeo Board,

Please note that the OSGeo Incubation Committee has voted to accept the Open Data Cube project as an OSGeo Community Project. See below.


I’m not sure of the protocol here. Can we please get this decision on the next OSGeo Board meeting for ratification?

Kind regards,

Bruce
