[Incubator] Application to accept pygeoapi as OSGeo Community Project

[Jody Garnett]

First up welcome pygeoapi and thanks for your application.

The first thing I checked was if the project has an osgeo project page (it
does https://www.osgeo.org/projects/pygeoapi/). I think the "emerging suite
of OGC API standards" has a name of some sort but I agree it has not been
fixed yet?  I like that there is a demo server :)

1. Geospatial

README.md <https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/blob/master/README.md>,
looks good :) As above you may wish to name the standard being implemented.

2. Open Source license [6]

LICENSE <https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/blob/master/LICENSE> is
good, you may wish to use markdown version here
<https://github.com/IQAndreas/markdown-licenses> for pretty?
For community project (rather than just website) we ask that headers also
be checked... I see you are doing that below.



3. Open to contributions [7]

Nice to see evidence of contributors
<https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/graphs/contributors> taking part
(also noted diverse authors in headers).

It is a good practice, that we check for to at least recommend, to use
CONTRIBUTING.md. This outlines what you expect of contributors and is a
good spot to remind folks they are agreeing to publish their work using
that MIT license.

4. License headers [8]

Doing a few spot checks:
- pygeoapi-serverless-config.yml
<https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/blob/master/aws-lambda/pygeoapi-serverless-config.yml>
-
needs header
- pygeoapi/debian/copyright
<https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/blob/master/debian/copyright> -
actually has a different license
- pygeoapi/docker/entrypoint.sh - needs header
- pygeoapi/docker/examples - no sign of header?
- pygeoapi/api.py
<https://github.com/geopython/pygeoapi/blob/master/pygeoapi/api.py> - core
code looks good
- tests/data/README.md - nicely done documenting where sample data was
obtained from :)

Let me know about the feedback above, and thanks again for your application
