For names, how about:
OSGeo Shed
OSGeo Project Shed
OSGeo Project Barn
OSGeo Garage
the place where projects live until they are ready for the main street.
Names are hard!

Agreed. We should just get the shed painted.

I will point out that naming is a classic bike shed problem. I think
we should ask the projects in "labs" and get their take on this.

I like "Innovator". What about "Community Builder Project"?

I hear you, and you are correct that innovation can happen
anywhere. I look forward to alternate name suggestions.
"Experiment" would do a disservice to a completed project
that does not yet have a large/diverse enough community to
meet our graduation requirements.
My fellow board members were a bit startled that our
incubation policies do inhibit the support smaller projects,
and would like an avenue to support innovation. It may be
that both these objectives cannot be met with the same
initiative, but I would like to try.

Hi Jody,
I understand the naming confusion. The Innovator name
however has IMO a negative reflection on the established
projects. Are new projects necessarily more innovative
than established ones? Often they are still so small
they don't have established communities/structures etc
in place. That's indeed why the Labs were created.
I will think about another potential name and I hope
others feel the same and will also think of an
alternative naming for the Labs. I remember you saying
something like Hatching (synonym of incubating, so maybe
to co fusing).
Maybe OSGeo Experiments.
Cheers,
Jeroen

Having an "OSGeo Innovator" badge on your home page is
way more "positive" an impression.
