OSGeo is pleased to announce that the GRASS, GDAL and FDO projects have
all graduated from the incubation process and are now a full fledged
OSGeo
projects.

Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS) is a Geographic
Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and
analysis,
image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and
visualization.

   http://grass.osgeo.org/

The GDAL/OGR project provides a library and commandline tools for
reading and
writing geospatial raster and vector file formats.  As a library it
provides
a single abstract data model to the calling application for all formats.

   http://www.gdal.org/

The FDO data access technology provides an API for manipulating,
defining
and analyzing geospatial information regardless of where it is stored.
FDO
uses a provider-based model for supporting a variety of geospatial data
sources, where each provider typically supports a particular data format
or data store.

Graduating incubation includes requirements for open community
operation,
a responsible project governance model, code provenance and license
verification and general good project operation.  Graduating incubation
is the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and gives potential users of
the project added confidence in the viability and safety of the project.
