[Incubator] Motion: Project Terra Draw community project initative

Mon Sep 16 10:39:08 PDT 2024

Hi Jody,

Hope you're well. Thanks for raising this - I wasn't sure if it was needed for me to respond here or Nick, but can you clarify what you mean by file headers in this situation? Terra Draw is MIT licensed and the released library does not currently have any runtime dependencies (we do have some development time dependencies). In addition we do adapt some code from the MIT licensed Turf.js project and we call this out at the start of files where it happens. I just raised a PR that standardises and clarifies those acknowledgements a bit better.

Let me know if I can do anything else I can do to ensure this requirement is met.

Many thanks,

James

You can propose Nick,

I think Regina just went over the checklist<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Step_1:_Add_OSGeo_Website_Project_Page> for website page?

For the osgeo community project checklist<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Step_2:_Join_OSGeo_Community_Projects_Initiative>...

I am especially interested in conforming that Terra Draw has gone through their file headers (this is the first step of the code providence review that takes such a long time in incubation).

Context: For the website we ask that they choose a license. To be community project we ask that they check that it is applied correctly.

Hey Jody and Regina,

Thanks both for getting back to me with the review. Apologies, I probably could have been a bit more detailed in my original email after viewing some of the other email applications! I followed the instructions provided, it was all very clear no real feedback except I missed where to upload the 'framed screenshot' image but figured it out eventually. The template images were really helpful with the correct dimensions and layouts needed.

I would actually say the more complicated part, and maybe I missed something here, was the initial process of getting here. I was mostly following instructions for Incubation Committee - OSGeo<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Step_1:_Add_OSGeo_Website_Project_Page> rather than Add a Project - OSGeo<https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/add-a-project/> which may have confused things slightly, as it took me a while to figure out how to sign up for an OSGeo ID then get the mantra, then also sign up for the mailing list. Maybe the wiki should just link to the OSGeo Add a Project page rather than having two 'sources of truth' so to speak? I also wonder if the OSGeo signup process could be simplified to use some sort of automated CAPTCHA rather than emailing the mantra? Hope this is helpful feedback.

I have submitted the Terra Draw project for review, let me know if there are any adjustments to make.

All the best,

James

Seems good, thanks for your application James and review Regina.

James I would really *love* your feedback on the new "Add a project<https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/add-a-project/>" instructions. Easy feedback like typos, but most importantly and confusion or questions you have.

I have added "project author" to your profile.

Subject: [Incubator] Terra Draw

Incubation committee:

I would like to ask permission to list my project "Terra Draw" on the OSGeo website in order to share my work with the community.

Terra Draw is a JavaScript library which allows for drawing and editing of geometries on maps. It works with a selection of different mapping providers, including Leaflet, MapLibre and OpenLayers and has been going for over 2 years now and I am eager to help more people use it.

The repository is located here: https://www.github.com/JamesLMilner/terra-draw and is released under the MIT license

My OSGeo userid is "jameslmilner" and I will need permission to create a project page.

Many thanks,

James
