[Incubator] OSGeo incubation

[Landon Blake]

Jody:

Have you gotten any more information on OSGeo Labs?

If not, I'd like to post a couple of questions to the discuss list. If
there isn't currently someone in charge of labs, I'd like to
volunteer. I can see my role as:

1) Identifying which projects in Labs are still active and still
interested in incubation.
2) Helping projects in Labs move into incubation.
3) Working to build the support system and infrastructure for projects
in Labs, including upkeep of the Labs wiki page and maybe a more
formal web presence for labs.

I think all of the above tasks should be coordinated with the
incubation committee, of course.

One of the main reasons for my interest is because I have a couple
little projects I would like to get into OSGeo Labs.

Any comments?
