as long as open source virtual globes have existed. And I think ESA-NASA WorldWind is a bit beyond incubation, we are more of a breeder farm for geospatial apps. I am very sure there is a lot I need to better appreciate about open source geospatial criteria.
But please know that we, ESA and NASA, are sincerely doing everything we can to deeply support the principles of OSGEO.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

Patrick it would be great if you can list world wind on the website. You are of course welcome to apply as an community project or to enter the incubation program.
<br>
<br>
As a volunteer driven organization we do not have the idea of grandfathering in. We expect grandfathers to roll up their sleeves and pitch in.

We made an open call on the projects list, but it seems many people<br>
