[Incubator] QField as OSGeo Project

Tue Apr 18 20:47:29 PDT 2023

Indeed it went out successfully; I was hopeful that other members could
help you - but I am happy to do so now. Sorry I thought your page at least
was published and was anticipating reviewing your source code repository
and so on in order to nominate you for the osgeo community program as per
your initial request.

Here is the checklist
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Supporting_project_teams>
for website listing:

To be listed on the OSGeo website:

1. Be geospatial

- Confirm by checking README or project description

https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/README.md
- spatial front and centre - there is even a map :)

2. Have a free license or open source license
- The license must be OSI approved

https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/LICENSE
- GPL 2.0 is free software

3. Welcome participation and new contributors.
- We look for a clear contribution policy

https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
- present and accounted for

And for the website page https://www.osgeo.org/projects/qfield/ ‎

Modifications / recommendations:
- changing project type to "none" (it will be a "community project" with
board approval / recognition later)
- logo - I think we ask this to be on a white background 720x412 as per
https://www.osgeo.org/wp-content/uploads/template_tile.png (the website
designers did not really make this obvious)
- header - this is a bit long? Not all of that will show up when listing
the project - try for s short sentence fragment or inspirational statement.
You can look at the resulting page and decide ...
- content - you can have a lot more here including links and so on :) The
content lists supported formats - you may consider moving that to "core
features" as that provides a nice presentation
- content - image - if you can have a picture of your team it woudl be
great. We like to show that projects are made up of people :)
- core features - consider moving supported format blurb here
- license: GPL 2.0
- specs: Is anything applicable here?
- communication good
- end-user resources: good
- developer resources: anything?

Page is published - contrats: https://www.osgeo.org/projects/qfield/
(Please fix the icon and consider some of the feedback above)
