[OSGeo-Discuss] PyWPS is now OSGeo Project

[Jeff McKenna]

Congratulations to the whole PyWPS community, and thank you Tom for your 
effort!  By the way, yesterday morning I actually presented this 
graduation news to the whole Canadian Cartographic Association 
conference attendees.  When I was preparing I noticed that PyWPS was 
still listed as in-incubation on the Incubator wiki, so I have updated 
that and also listed its related documents in the "Graduated" section of 
the wiki (I've been doing this for a while now, to have an archive of 
the process, without having to search years of email archives); it would 
be great if you can also check the list and make sure the information is 
correct https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Graduated
