[OSGeo-Discuss] Turn around on new Incubation submittals.

[Bob Basques]

All,

Well I applied to the OSGEO Incubator lists, but didn't get anything 
back in the way of a confirmation.  Curiously, I also applied the same 
night to the OpenLayers Dev list and got the confirmation right away.  
Since both systems are using the same software, I figure there is some 
sort of approval process that has be be done first.

Anyway, Frank mentioned to me that I should Post my application there 
before he gets to it.  So that's where I'm at with it at this point in time.
