[Incubator] Rasdaman and OSGeo Incubation: Proposed way forward

[Bruce Bannerman]

Dear Radaman Community and the OSGeo Incubation Committee,


I propose that we suspend a decision on the way forward with Rasdaman
Incubation for a period of three months.

This will provide time:

   - for all to reflect on incubation discussions events over the last two
   weeks; and


   - for the Rasdaman Community to discuss and decide on the way forward
   that they wish to take.


Should the Rasdaman Community wish to continue with OSGeo Incubation, then
I will be happy to continue as OSGeo Mentor for a short period of time to
work through the Project Governance approach with you. I will also be
prepared to stand aside, should you prefer an alternate mentor.


Should the Rasdaman Community decide that it does not wish to continue with
OSGeo Incubation, I am sure that you will be encouraged to continue your
association with OSGeo as an "OSGeo Community Project" [1]. You will be
able to do this using your current Governance Process.


We have come a long way over the last six years. I'm impressed by how well
the Rasdaman Community has developed and by the processes and the
functionality of the software developed. Rasdaman has great potential in
the future.

It is a credit to you all.


Bruce Bannerman

OSGeo Mentor to Rasdaman
