[MetaCRS] [Incubator] Meeting 19 - July 23rd

[Landon Blake]

I joined the MetaCRS mailing list a couple of years ago to help with
Proj4J and a standard test file format for CRS utilities.

I can work with Daniel to see about moving things forward with MetaCRS
incubation. I'd need to know where MetaCRS is currently at in the
process, and then I'd need to bounce some ideas about how to move
forward of the MetaCRS mailing list.

Hi Jody,

Here is my quick report as MetaCRS mentor. To be honest there is no real
progress to report after close to 4 years in incubation. The project is
not actively working on going through incubation, but then I have not
been pinging them about this either so it would be hard to blame them.

MetaCRS is a special case as it actually regroups several projects
dealing with coordinate reference system support, so this project is in
large part about sharing expertize, maybe even more than just code.

CRS libs are a key part of every piece of OSGeo software and I consider
that it is important to get them through incubation at some point, so I
would advise keeping them in incubation at this point despite the lack
of progress.

Hopefully when Frank (MetaCRS PSC chair) comes back we can talk about
getting the project back on track with incubation.
