[Incubator] gvSIG project graduation - motion

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi incubation committee,
With the latest updates to gvSIG's docs about decision making [1] 
updated, I believe gvSIG is ready for graduation, as requested by 
Dimitris (OSGeo graduation mentor) below.

I propose that gvSIG is officially passes the OSGeo Graduation process 
and is accepted as an OSGeo project into graduation.
