[Incubator] The Open Data Cube Application for OSGeo Community Project Status

[Alex Leith]

Hey Folks

As discussed recently in an email thread with Bruce Bannerman
<https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/incubator/2021-February/004303.html>,
I'd like to present an application for the ODC to be recognised as an OSGeo
Community Project.

Here's the list:

   1. Be geospatial
      - Confirm by checking README or project description
         - Not explicit in the project README
         <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core>. Very clear
on the project
         webpage <https://www.opendatacube.org/>.
      - project page on the osgeo website
         - https://www.osgeo.org/projects/open-data-cube/
         - We ask projects have some user documentation, for example an
      OSGeo Live quickstart
         - The ODC has extensive documentation
         <https://datacube-core.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>, which could
         always be better, but exist and are good.
      2. Have a free license or an open source license.
      - The license must be OSI approved
         - Apache 2.0 licensed
         <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/blob/develop/LICENSE>
      - We ask that the project team check the file headers and double
      check the license has been appropriately applied
         - This has been implemented with text like this
         <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/blob/develop/license-template.txt>
         on all Python files
         - Note that while we do mention Copyright, we haven't done a full
         code provenance review and Copyright attribution and we'd
like to address
         that as part of the next steps in becoming a full Project.
      3. Welcome participation and new contributors.
      - We look for a clear contribution policy
         - We have a CONTRIBUTORS.md
         <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md>
          file
      - We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration, perhaps with a
      history of bug report or pull requests
         - We have a long history of contributions and code review on a
         number of repositories, including the core
         <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/pulls?q=is%3Apr> and
         the ows <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-ows> engine.
      - Projects are required to have a code of conduct
         - We have a code of conduct
         <https://github.com/opendatacube/datacube-core/blob/develop/code-of-conduct.md>
         .


So, can I please ask the Incubation Committee to make their assessment?

Kind regards,
