Thanks Bang:

As rasdaman previously took part in the incubation program I expect it is going to more than exceed our requirements for the community program. Indeed the community program was in part inspired by this experience.

I am working on making our checklist clear - so any feedback is more than welcome. For example I think that "Code of Conduct" can be placed under item 3 below:

  1.  Be geospatial
     *   Confirm by checking README or project description
     *   We ask projects have some user documentation, for example an OSGeo Live quickstart
  2.  Have a free license or an open source license.
     *   The license must be OSI approved
     *   We ask that the project team check the file headers and double check the license has been appropriately applied
  3.  Welcome participation and new contributors.
     *   We look for a clear contribution policy
     *   We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration, perhaps with a history of bug report or pull requests
  4.  Code of Conduct
     *   Code of conduct OSGeo has supplied some guidance for projects<https://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/>many of which select contribution covenant<https://www.contributor-covenant.org/>

Before we start I am little confused by the service provider page<https://www.osgeo.org/service-providers/rasdaman-raster-database-manager/> (which is for companies). Are you sure you did not want to work on project page<https://www.osgeo.org/projects/>? Both are useful of course ...

Hello,

I'm Bang Pham Huu (Rasdaman software developer - Jacobs University, Bremen,
Germany).

On behalf of Dr. Peter Baumann - the original creator of rasdaman
(Opensource Geospatial - Raster
Database Manager - www.rasdaman.org<http://www.rasdaman.org>), I'd like to request to register
Rasdaman as OSGEO Community Project.

I followed Jody Garnett's guide to add an introduction page for rasdaman at
https://www.osgeo.org/service-providers/rasdaman-raster-database-manager/

Please let me know how to proceed and the information you would need until
rasdaman can be accepted as a OSGEO Community Project.

Thanks,
