I had a lovely time at foss4g-eu, and really enjoy being back with osgeo (after some time away).  

 

I invite everyone to review:

#16: Seek new mandate as Project Support committee
Project Support Presentation capturing ou new issue tracker and ideas for relaunch
 

 

With that in mind I would like to relaunch this committee as Project Support

New name matching the project-support repo
General committee reset
Reflect our expanded responsibilities of incubation process, community project, and website foss4g check
 

Here is the proposed mandate:

 

Project Support Committee

 

Provide software foundation support to project teams in keeping with Open Source Geospatial Foundation principles and values:

 

A - Ongoing software foundation support for "OSGeo Projects":

 

A.1 - Assist project teams over course of project lifecycle: incubation, policy updates, license change, end-of-life.

A.2 - Update OSGeo software foundation policies under direction from the OSGeo Board

A.3 - Establish and maintain OSGeo incubation process.

A.4 - Connect project teams with a mentor for one-on-one support during incubation process.

 

B - Establish and support inclusive "OSGeo Community" projects initiative providing space for new and innovative projects.

 

C - Establish and support "FOSS4G Project" directory for OSGeo.

 

Motion is held open for two weeks closing Friday 7 September:

 

Angelos Tzotsos
Arnulf Christl
Bob (CI-StPaul) Basques
Brian M Hamlin
Daniel Morissette
Deepak Kumar
Dimitris Kotzinos
