[Incubator] zoo-project community sprint checklist hacking

[Jody Garnett]

Enjoying Gerald's company as we look at checklist, these are notes:

https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/ZOO-Project_Incubation_Checklist

*1. open *

*1a: source license*

This is actually interesting, lots licenses here and the license file is
more go a guide :)

I would kind of expect each license to be listed in full as part of the
distribution (this is a requirement for some of them).

For a similar situation eclipse foundation had JTS make one file
<https://github.com/locationtech/jts/blob/master/LICENSES.md>, and then a
directory of all the individual license files.

One of the licenses is GPL, that is run as a separate component (so the
other components do not need to be GPL).
This will make a great example for other OSGeo project when you are done :)

*1b: *open communication channels

listed: email / IRC (not used much)
discuss: gitter / riot.m

*1c: *open decisions

open issue tracker - in contributor guide
discussion on level --> motion --> psc vote

todo: add this to the contributor guide

*2.* active health community

*2a* active collaborative with developers / users

Some discussion about private email being sent directly when testing beta /
RC releases. Something to work on with the community as a whole.

todo: Have a good email discussion with zoo-discuss, the recent release
candidate had no public feedback. This is a missed opportunity to show
collaboration for incubation.

reporting bugs in the public issue tracker is going well.
task: update link to new release procedure

zoo-psc email has public archive, private member list by request.

*2b* long term viability

PSC and contributors lists shows a wide range of organizations. Casual
discussion indicates project supported by a range of industries / academic
:)

Code also has some indications of "code supported by public funds" which is
a classy touch!
