[Jachym Cepicky]

*PyWPS finished the OSGeo incubation process*

On April 11th 2018, OSGeo Board of Directors recognized [1] PyWPS project
as an official OSGeo project, thanks to the efforts of the PyWPS Project
Steering committee and Tom Kralidis, our incubation mentor. The incubation
process started 9 years ago [2] and was one of the longest processes within
the OSGeo ecosystem. Over this time, PyWPS demonstrated [3] a stable
community, evolving into version 4 with completely new code base and
license change, took part on several Google Summer of Code events, formed a
Project Steering Committee [4] and many more.
