[Incubator] motion: qfield recommendation for osgeo community project initiative

[Jody Garnett]

I would like to make a motion:
   Recommending QField for the osgeo community project program.

The motion is held open for two weeks, until May 5th 2023.

   - Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques
   - Arnulf Christl
   - Jo Cook
   - Jody Garnett +1 (initial motion)
   - Dimitris Kotzinos
   - Tom Kralidis
   - Michael Smith
   - Steve Lime
   - Daniel Morissette
   - Frank Warmerdam
   - Angelos Tzotsos


Checking the project against our requirements
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Step_2:_Join_Community_Projects_Program>
:

1. Be geospatial
- Confirm by checking README or project description
- project page on the osgeo website
- We ask projects have some user documentation, for example an OSGeo Live
quickstart

Most of this was checked for website requirements. There is nice user
documentation (https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/).


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

GPL2 is provided in docs (https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/license/) and
source code (https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/LICENSE).

The team has automated check that license is applied (
https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/scripts/licensecheck.pl)
which is really cool.

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
- Projects are required to have a code of conduct

Contribution policy (
https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md),
collaboration (https://github.com/opengisch/QField/pulls?q=is%3Apr), and
code of conduct (
https://github.com/opengisch/QField/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) all
seem in order.
