From osgeo at centroi.de Mon Jan 5 09:32:18 2026 From: osgeo at centroi.de (Felix Delattre) Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2026 18:32:18 +0100 Subject: [Incubator] Add project: eoAPI Message-ID: <76a1607cf9f3b6bd0a8b596adf99ed187ce24eb6.camel@centroi.de> Incubation committee: I would like to ask permission to to list our project "Earth Observation API" or "eoAPI" on the OSGeo website in order to share our work with more people. eoAPI combines several state-of-the-art open-source projects to create a full Earth Observation API leveraging the power of STAC and cloud- native geo technology. Each service can be used and deployed independently, but eoAPI creates the interconnections between them. The main website is here: http://eoapi.dev/ The repositories are located here: * https://github.com/developmentseed/eoapi * https://github.com/developmentseed/eoapi-k8s Everything is released under the MIT license. My OSGeo userid is "xamanu" and I will need permission to create a project page. Thanks!

Message-ID: The osgeo budget for 2026 is taking shape: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Budget_2026#OSGeo_Committees Do we have any ideas in mind for the year ahead? I have not had much opportunity to volunteer on this committee in 2025, and am a bit disappointed to see requests piling up. Perhaps we could setup a work party or something to both catch up and invite new participants. I strongly believe in the work the incubation committee is doing is central to OSGeo role as a software foundation. I think we will also get a lot of discussion from our existing projects as they look at how to handle CRA reporting requirements in September of this year. Perhaps we need to rename the committee to "Projects" as we are presently doing more than incubation eh? - - Jody Garnett -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My 2p for the discussion: # Discuss renaming to "Projects" and update responsibilities / mandate for this committee Yes I think renaming from Incubator to something else is a good idea. It seems to me that incubating projects is a relatively small part of this committee's work. Mostly we seem to be helping projects register as OSGeo Community Projects, which is really great. I am sorry I have not been able to contribute to this more. From what I have heard, one blocker is people registering for a OSGeoID - it takes time to request and receive the mantra and is a stumbling block. I think? (Scott?) is looking at this whole process and I think we should raise this as an important point. Registering should be easy and ideally immediate. # Change from mailing list to discourse (to make access easier) Yes - happy to change from mailing list to discourse. Hopefully this might make monitoring requests to register as Community projects easier to track, as everything will be located under one thread? Thanks very much Jody for taking the initiative. Let me know if you'd like input on anything else specific! Best wishes, Nick.

Are you planning to put out another doodle? I clicked on the below and see only one date now and its only Jan 12th. FWIW I can make the Wednesday 14 Jan: 16:00 UTC date. Regarding the mantra, yes it would be nice to come up with something more efficient. But even things like registering on discourse we don?t allow people to post immediately cause we had gotten spammed with porn etc even though discourse had captcha and all that good stuff. Trust is becoming more of an issue with AI bots. So I?d hesitate to be too lax on allowing people to get osgeo ids to anything. Part of the reason mantra takes so long is that there are only 3 of us it seems handling those requests and most of them are for QGIS plugin upload access or people who for some reason think they need a OSGeo id to download a QGIS plugin. Interestingly it seems no one on the QGIS team is handling these requests at all. Any user who knows the mantra can give it to someone else. It seems a lot of people don?t understand that and tell people to email mantra-request for the mantra when if they know it and know the person well that is asking for it, they can just whisper it to the user asking and not bother us.

My 2p for the discussion: * Discuss renaming to "Projects" and update responsibilities / mandate for this committee Yes I think renaming from Incubator to something else is a good idea. It seems to me that incubating projects is a relatively small part of this committee's work. Mostly we seem to be helping projects register as OSGeo Community Projects, which is really great. I am sorry I have not been able to contribute to this more. >From what I have heard, one blocker is people registering for a OSGeoID - it takes time to request and receive the mantra and is a stumbling block. I think? (Scott?) is looking at this whole process and I think we should raise this as an important point. Registering should be easy and ideally immediate. * Change from mailing list to discourse (to make access easier) Yes - happy to change from mailing list to discourse. Hopefully this might make monitoring requests to register as Community projects easier to track, as everything will be located under one thread? Thanks very much Jody for taking the initiative. Let me know if you'd like input on anything else specific! Best wishes, Nick. On 07/01/2026 22:45, Jody Garnett via Incubator wrote: Let's learn from the experience and give folks a bit more notice ?

Honestly! I find the whole mantra thing confusing. OSGeo is the first and only place I ever ran into such a thing... There should be easier ways to do this and still be able to have a manual verification step if we feel that is needed. And even with the current setup, I, for one, have no clue what the mantra is or where to find it :) On the budget, I understand that Wednesday 14 is the day of the meeting.

I may be able to make that time, but it is unlikely. I will have to see how things go. Re mantra, if QGIS is generating (much) of the traffic, perhaps we should reach out to them and ask for help with this? That is useful to know we can tell other people. I will bear this in mind.

Handling some of the project outreach / advocacy activities for OSGeo... - I think there is a bit of work to look forward to this year, with the CRA coming into effect in September we will need to work with existing project discuss and provide options for meeting regulations.

I propose we move the application process to opening a templated issue (GitHub or Gitea) and require one incubation committee member to review. I volunteer to move all the pending applications to this new issue tracker. Perhaps we should consider the same for Projects applying for Incubation (currently a ticket is required on Trac).

The need for mantra is burdensome. It is burdensome for users asking for one and also for those who have to address them and 80% of the time there is no point to the ask. Main issues are: 1) People ask for an osgeo id simply to introduce themselves to the community and their interests and for some reason think they need an osgeo id to do so. 2) People ask for mantras cause they want to download QGIS software and think they need one. Then there are some people that really need OSGeo ids cause they need to publish a QGIS plugin. Jody thought maybe using discourse in some way to field these might help. I created a Introduction category with a template to just test this idea out. https://discourse.osgeo.org/c/introductions If you notice if you create a new topic in this category, it will prefill with a template. Anyone else that asks me to give them a mantra without sufficient information to do so, I'm going to force them to fill this out to prove their need and if they do, I'll just private message them on discourse with the mantra. This is of course an experiment, but I figure is frictionless way for people to introduce themselves to us and if it doesn't work for mantra, at the very least, it will be easier to filter out from those folk who use the "General" category to introduce themselves. I'm going to move all the intro messages out of general and into this category.

People say they wish to volunteer, but when trying to get an ID, they fail and leave. You would need an ID if you wanted to work on a WIKI page, other stuff that is community work. And I feel we should avoid that hurdle to be high or even existing. We definitely want to avoid bots, but regular people? Or am I misunderstanding your idea of preventing people creating an account if they just wanted to even download QGIS and later happen to be involved?

The ones not in grey ? GeoForAll is a pretty high reason why people ask for mantras. We don?t have a discourse category for it to my knowledge, but if we did that could be a good place to put it and if someone is managing GeoForAll ? they could send the user a discourse chat note with the mantra. Google summer of code, yes we do have category for that, so I feel we can remove that. They?ll introduce themselves anyway and so it would be clear and they can be given their accounts once they are accepted. That is rarely done when they first introduce themselves.

OSGeo Ids provide you access to core things, much of which most people don?t care about when starting off. Does having an account to a website (or OSGeo) really make you feel more attached to that org especially when you don?t understand what you can use that account for? For me, as a user, it?s yet another account I need to remember and manage. if I don?t need one, I?d prefer not wasting my time creating one. As an OSGeo SAC team member, I?d prefer people understanding what they need one for before they ask for one. We have a lot of things that don?t require OSGeo accounts ? discourse, mailing lists, downloading software which is probably 90% of what people care to do when they first interact with OSGeo. I feel like there are two steps users take Step 1: I?m just passing by want to know what you are about and if I should bother getting further involved I think it sends a bad message if people think ?Before we talk to you, you have to register with us?. We need to get rid of that mindset. Step 2: I?m now excited I want to get deeper in your organization ? e.g. weblate translation, editing the wiki, publishing things, maybe becoming a project member or community lead. I?d rather people get to Step 2 before they get accounts because accounts created with purposeful intent are less likely to be compromised or bloat our directory. I?d also like to learn more about people in step 1 ? what their interests are etc ? so we can welcome and guide them, which is the main reason I added the ?Introductions? section to discourse. If you create a profile about yourself on OSGeo website, no one knows about you unless they are searching the osgeo.org site for people. No one knows you are new and looking for direction. If you do it on discourse/introductions ? those who are interested in learning about new people can subscribe to the category and say ?Welcome? and give some proper guidance if the new person is interested in the things they are interested in. I would also like project members to give mantras to people if they come across someone that needs one. E.g. if you have someone who says they are interested in translating your project documents, you can just give them the mantra. You don?t need them to email mantra-request to get one.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: We can continue discussion on the ticket, usually it takes a bit of time to hunt down the README, the LICENSE and the user docs and so on. For example your project indicates you have no headers, so this is a chance to do open source advocacy and ask you *why* you have no headers, to make sure you are doing so on purpose, and to ask where your source code comes from, what do you do when new people contribute etc... 1. Be geospaital: 1. https://github.com/Pix4D/ntrip-catalog/blob/master/README.md 2. No I cannot include on the website, we give each project team permission to manage their own page, as you are responsible for keep it up to date. What is your OSGeo User ID? For more information see Add a Project 3. I could not find a user guide ... but I also have a question? Is this an open source project (that people would run themselves) or is it a public website (the code of which is open source for others to reference?) 2. Have a free license: 1. https://github.com/Pix4D/ntrip-catalog/blob/master/LICENSE CC0 is a documentation license (for writing) rather than an open source license for code. CC0 is an alternative to citation for authors composing their own written works, it gives them permission to remix the writing or data into their own creation, granting much the same permissions open source developers enjoy when remixing code beyond its original intent. 2. Many open source licenses require headers be applied. If you wish to select an open source license this will be one of the steps to check when adopting it. 3. Welcome contributions 1. https://github.com/Pix4D/ntrip-catalog/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING_GUIDE.md 1. This covers some of the mechanics of contributing, but is weak on the legal aspect - who "owns" the resulting work? Do you have shared ownership, or require a contribution license agreement? 2. Collaboration 1. https://github.com/Pix4D/ntrip-catalog/pulls?q=is%3Apr Key think I am looking for is if this has folks from more than one organization (demonstrate collaboration); but the fact that it is public is great (open to collaboration) https://github.com/Pix4D/ntrip-catalog/issues?q=is%3Aissue 3. https://github.com/Pix4D/ntrip-catalog/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md Nice work! So based on the review there are some questions to answer? Some of which are for you (do you want an open source license, or is this more of an open data project?) and some of which are for OSGeo (do we want to offer a home for open data projects, there used to be a committee for that but I am not sure if it is active). - - Jody Garnett On Jan 27, 2026 at 8:27:05?AM, Javier Jimenez Shaw wrote: > Hi Jody > > On Tue, 27 Jan 2026 at 17:01, Jody Garnett wrote: > >> Hi Javier, >> >> The committee has been looking at how to increase participation, and are >> looking to moving some of this process form email to an issue tracker. >> > I am already subscribed to the gitea issue #3 .

In April 2023, I presented the Flexurba package and the GISRUK conference in Leeds, and received the GISRUK and OSGeo:UK GoFundGeo Award. > > Flexurba is an open-source R package to flexibly reconstruct the Degree of Urbanisation (DEGURBA) classification. DEGURBA is an operational definition of cities, towns and rural areas that is widely used in policy reports and academic circles. It is developed by six international organisations - among which the European Commission and the OECD - to provide a globally consistent delineation of urban areas and thus enhance statistical comparability across nations. Much effort has been devoted to making the workflow behind the methodology as transparent and reproducible as possible: it is extensively documented in a manual (Eurostat, 2021) and a set of analytical tools is provided by the Global Human Settlement Layer to reproduce the classification. The current suite of tools uses a graphical user interface. This certainly enhances the ease of use, but also obscures the underlying code and restricts the user from adapting implementation details in the algorithm. > > Against this backdrop, we developed the Flexurba package: a flexible reconstruction of the DEGURBA algorithm. The package encompasses the first open implementation of DEGURBA's algorithm in any programming language. It provides flexibility to the user to customise the parameters in the algorithm and evaluate the consequences of certain implementation choices. The user can construct alternative versions of DEGURBA by changing the minimum population thresholds, and even more 'hidden' implementation details, such as the contiguity requirements and edge smoothing rules. > > For an extensive description of the package and its contribution, please consult the following journal article: > > Van Migerode, C., Poorthuis, A., & Derudder, B.

URL: From jody.garnett at gmail.com Wed Jan 28 10:51:49 2026 From: jody.garnett at gmail.com (Jody Garnett) Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 10:51:49 -0800 Subject: [Incubator] publish qgis2web like osgeo project In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Thanks, I am indeed trying to take a look at stuff this week - although any committee member could have also taken action. 1. Nice logo! 2. None of your images was high enough resolution to use with laptop template to display in the sidebar. I added one as an example? 3. The content is still cut and paste from README, many of those headings already have a place on the page. As an example the "credits" heading can be provided by the "Who's Involved" section and does not need to be duplicated. 4. Much of the feedback is not addressed, such as developer resources and user resources has not been 5. Not sure what to make of the photos in the footer ? This is more an information sheet than a tutorial of your project. The images actually are from your website and have not been uploaded to wordpress. Can you review the "Add Project" instructions and example and ask questions about anything that is unclear? - - Jody Garnett On Jan 28, 2026 at 3:19:00?AM, Info O.GIS via Incubator < incubator at lists.osgeo.org> wrote: > I renew the request to review the changes made on qgis2web project for the > publication. > In the osgeo back office, I see the project status as: Pending. > Thank you. > > > Il giorno lun 3 nov 2025 alle ore 11:54 Info O.GIS ha > scritto: > >> I renew the request to review the changes made on qgis2web project for >> the publication. >> >> In the osgeo back office, I see the project status as: Pending. >> >> Thank you. >> >> >> *Andrea Ordonselli* >> *O.GIS - **opengis.it * >> >> >> >> Da "Info O.GIS" info at opengis.it >> A jody.garnett at gmail.com >> Cc Incubator at lists.osgeo.org >> Data Mon, 15 Sep 2025 13:03:23 +0200 >> Oggetto Re: [Incubator] publish qgis2web like osgeo project >> >> Good morning, >> >> I have made several changes based on your advice. >> >> Can you check now if the project is ready for publication? >> >> >> It is not possible to easily show how the program works only with photos. >> >> In the footer, I have included some examples of the software's output, >> but it does not show how the software itself is used. >> >> If possible, I could insert a short video or, better yet, a lightweight >> GIF that demonstrates the software and how it is used. >> >> >> Thank you. >> >> >> *Andrea Ordonselli* >> *O.GIS - **opengis.it * >> >> >> Da "Jody Garnett" jody.garnett at gmail.com >> A info at opengis.it >> Cc "OSGeo Incubator Committee" Incubator at lists.osgeo.org >> Data Fri, 11 Jul 2025 14:22:57 -0500 >> Oggetto Re: [Incubator] publish qgis2web like osgeo project >> >> Cut and paste from GitHub description ... does not seem appropriate as >> this is an end-user website intended for be a kind introduction for >> otherwise innocent "GIS Professionals" new to foss4g in general. >> >> Here is the reference page: https://www.osgeo.org/projects/geonode/ >> >> Like if it helps I can be really specific, but the instructions should >> help? >> https://www.osgeo.org/community/getting-started-osgeo/add-a-project/ >> >> If I go through the instructions and your draft page: >> >> >> 1.

From nick at nickbearman.com Thu Jan 29 06:50:31 2026 From: nick at nickbearman.com (Nick Bearman) Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 14:50:31 +0000 Subject: [Incubator] Request to register Flexurba as an OSGeo community project In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <78f29ae6-cbc5-4054-9a69-c2bf46cedb96@nickbearman.com> Thanks. I have updated the gitia post with a couple of questions I need help from the committee. https://gitea.osgeo.org/osgeo/projects-support/issues/12#issuecomment-14200 Specifically: I have always struggled slightly with licenses. Using Flexurba as an example, is this all done now? License is MIT. It is listed at https://gitlab.kuleuven.be/spatial-networks-lab/research-projects/flexurba/-/blob/main/LICENSE.md And in GitLab license is listed at MIT License On https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/ it says: "How to apply this license Create a text file (typically named LICENSE or LICENSE.txt) in the root of your source code and copy the text of the license into the file. Replace [year] with the current year and [fullname] with the name (or names) of the copyright holders. " Which is done. Does anything else need to be done? We look for a clear contribution policy Included in the Code of Conduct - https://gitlab.kuleuven.be/spatial-networks-lab/research-projects/flexurba/-/blob/main/code-of-conduct.md. Does this need to be a separate document? * We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration, perhaps with a history of bug report or pull requests Again, help from the committee please. Celine has submitted most of the issues. Ate Poorthuis has submited one fix: |c742db5600| I don't think there have been any 'Merge requests' (as GitLab calls Pull Requests, just to confuse us!) So are we happy with this? Thanks! Nick.

The source code is just for testing and aggregating the data. The explanation how to use the data it is at the end of the readme. Basically read the json and search for the NTRIP providers > 1.
