[Incubator] Move Community Project applications to issue tracker

[Regina Obe]

I prefer gitea.  It’s a bit harder since they need an OSGeo account, but they are eventually going to need one anyway so that might as well be one of the first things they do before filling out requests to become a community project etc.

 

Also if we move incubator list to discourse, which I think is our plan (which does allow signup with github account), they can start the processing with a request to the list.

I am not on the committee but believe that using GitHub tickets would make this easier for new applications as it is possible to review previous applications.

 

Best,

Dennis

I really like the idea Angelos, especially since this is developer outreach - an issue tracker is great!

 

*	Have issue template for "add to website", "join community project", "osgeo project incubation", ...
*	We actually already have the markdown for some of these...

 

I would prefer github (because outreach) but would be okay with gitea (ideally if we can make the signup process a bit easier.)

Hi all,

One idea that came up during the Incubation Budget meeting, was to make 
community project applications easier to review.
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).

Thoughts? Objections?

Best regards,
Angelos
