[Incubator] Fwd: gvSIG project graduation - motion

[Jeroen Ticheler]

Dear gvSIG community,
+1 from me for incubating gvSIG. 
It has been a long process to which I was able to contribute a little bit at the start. I'm very happy to see the process has now come to a successful end! Congratulations and welcome as an incubated OSGeo project! gvSIG is a real community project with lots of great functionality and great people dedicating effort to it. 
Cheers,
Jeroen
