[Incubator] MOTION: GeoNode Graduation from OSGeo Incubation

[Daniel Morissette]

+1 on graduation. Congratulations!

Daniel

P.S.

The project seems to have a quite healthy and open community of users 
and contributors around it and that's one of the key things that I like 
to see around OSGeo projects.

Note that in the incubation checklist you only answered "Yes" to the 
project officer question. Perhaps we should reword the question in the 
checklist, but I'd expect the project officer to be named there. That 
name will be required for the motion to the board later on anyway.

And a few notes for the upcoming docs sprint: As I was walking through 
the process docs linked form the checklist, I found several broken 
links. In most cases I was able to find the info through other means, 
but I thought I'd point a few of them to make sure they are addressed:

- 
http://docs.geonode.org/en/master/organizational/comm_bylaws.html#comm-bylaws

The link to the AUTHORS file is broken. It points to a "dev" branch that 
no longer exist. Perhaps point it to the master branch?


- http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/organizational/roadmap.html#roadmap

Does the organizational partner list still exist and still lead the 
roadmap or is this old info? The geonode-org google group has restricted 
access and I'm unable to read roadmap items and other docs linked from 
this page.
