Hi Jody,
_Rasdaman Incubation Status Update_
The Rasdaman Incubation checklist is being maintained at [1].
My general observations on the project for the last period are:
* Overall, the project appears to be in good shape, with 26 new user registrations this month alone.
* Project activity has increased with a marked increase in email traffic on the developer and user lists.
* Considerable activity is occuring related to documenting and fine tuning of software release processes, including tying these to processes relating to the use of git.
* Work is underway to support git branching with a view towards maintained releases.
* Work is under way to support regression testing for OGC compliance e.g. WCPS and WCS.
* Work is underway to improve the testing framework.
* Rasdaman's CRS name resolver has been deployed as OGC's official CRS name resolver.
* I'm starting to see future planning activities being presented to the Rasdaman Community for comment. This is good to see.
* We still don't have documented processes describing a range of factors, however I anticipate that these will come in time. Some examples are:
* Project Governance and processes
* Who is on the Project Steering Committee? How are PSC members (s)elected, replaced etc? What are the responsibilities of the PSC?
* What Code review is expected for new contributions? Who does this review?
* How are Commiters selected? What are their responsibilities? How is commit status reviewed?
* The project has a reasonably well defined roadmap [2]. What I'm not clear on yet is e.g.:
* How was this roadmap has been defined?
* What community review process is used to arrive at the roadmap?
* How were relative priorities determined?
* How are new priorities balanced against existing priorities?
