[Incubator] Application for OSGeo Community Project - ETF testing framework

[Jody Garnett]

 Thank you for the clear well prepared proposal.

Let's start with getting listed on the osgeo website do you have an osgeo
user id (please create one here <https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/create>, and
login to the osgeo.org once, then reply to this email with your osgeo user
id, then we can grant permissions to make a project page).
