[Incubator] Application to host Open Source Project "actinia" under the umbrella of OSGeo

[Jody Garnett]

That sounds great Till, and the project looks to be really nicely put
together.

Having a look at the repository we got one thing on our checklist to fix
before placing on the website, and if you are interested in joining osgeo
community I will ask you to check over your headers again.

 https://github.com/mundialis/actinia_core

1. geospatial

- readme check:
https://github.com/mundialis/actinia_core/blob/master/README.rst

2. open source license

- open source license:
https://github.com/mundialis/actinia_core/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

I had a look and the first couple python files I looked at did not have a
header.
-
https://github.com/mundialis/actinia_core/blob/master/src/actinia_core/__init__.py
-
https://github.com/mundialis/actinia_core/blob/master/src/actinia_core/endpoints.py
- I did not really look any more than that :)

3. accepts contributions

One thing we check for (at least for those projects using GitHub) is the
use of a CONTRIBUTING.md file or similar.  As part of their "forge"
infrastructure GitHub provides a link to the contributing policies (the
CONTRIBUTING.md file).

Can we ask you to add one of these CONTRIBUTING.md files, even if all it
says that that you are happy to accept pull requests and that they should
be provided to the project via GPL 3 etc...
