[Incubator] Motion to accept Oskari into Incubation (2nd serve)

[Arnulf Christl]

Dear Incubation Committee,

the bottle neck to Incubation for Oskari is not a lack of mentors but
appears to be a lack of responses from the committee members to the
motion. We have the following members listed at [1], can you please
check whether you voted:

  * Bruce Bannerman   +1
  * Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques
  * Landon Blake
  * Howard Butler
  * Arnulf Christl    +1
  * Jody Garnett (chair)    +1
  * Dimitris Kotzinos
  * Tom Kralidis    +1
  * Julien-Samuel Lacroix
  * Mark Lucas
  * Steve Lime
  * Daniel Morissette
  * Markus Schneider
  * Cameron Shorter   +1
  * Norman Vine
  * Frank Warmerdam


The motion was open until March 23 - so maybe I have to reiterate my
motion. Here goes:

*Motion* to accept Oskari into Incubation based on the application at
[2] with myself (Arnulf Christl) as mentor.

+1

This motion will be open for two weeks until April 18. Please do not
hesitate to vote -1 in case there is something amiss with the
application, this is by no means trying to push anything. Hint: There
are some interesting aspects: This project is "owned" by an informal
network (Oskari Network), they do not have mailing lists but afaict
function properly. Should we recommend to start using ML or ask them to
find another means that would satisfy our requirements?


Thanks,
Arnulf
