[Incubator] TorchGeo -- Call for Vote to Graduate

[Brian M Hamlin]

Hello All -

   With this email, I am pleased to present to the OSGeo Incubation 
Committee an OSGeo Project Candidate :  TorchGeo [0]. As Project Mentor 
I have worked closely with the TorchGeo PSC and code base.  In my best 
judgement, I find that TorchGeo is not only a suitable candidate, but in 
fact a substantial addition to a large set of consequential and 
significant geospatial software projects of our current era, represented 
by OSGeo.

The Program Steering Committee (PSC) of TorchGeo is composed of a small 
but diverse group of committers; the PSC has defined clear standards for 
code contributions, bugs, features and additions. Due to the unique 
character of this training and benchmarking environment, many complete 
teams from more than a hundred institutions worldwide are contributing 
and active in the project.  As a Machine Learning and Artificial 
Intelligence environment itself, new data LICENSE challenges are present 
as well.

You will find abundant links and details in the project Application [1] 
and Code Review [2].  The TorchGeo project release cycle is integrated 
with OSGeo Planet and news -- /special thanks to/ *JSanz*.

Please review and cast your vote at your earliest convenience. Questions 
and other inquiries will be handled on an OSGeo TRAC instance ticket 
[3].   The voting period shall begin with the date of this email, and 
scheduled to conclude in 14 days hence.

Special gratitude on this important day goes out to the *OSGeo Systems 
Administration Team* for TRAC, MediaWiki, *email* and support infrastructure

behalf of #osgeo
