Kristian,

You beat me to it. I had about 1/3 of it done and got distracted. Glad you got it all filled out. I’ll look over it.

All, 

A quick follow-up on the OSGeo incubation situation. I have just submitted a request for incubation: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2268#ticket 

Please let me know if I have made any mistakes or forgot something when answering the questionnaire.

Kristian, 

I think the next step is that I make a formal request to the incubation committee and we start on a wiki page that documents how PROJ meets the project guidelines (https://www.osgeo.org/wp-content/uploads/graduation_checklist.pdf). Most of these will go quite fast, I suspect, as most, if not all of this is already done for PROJ. 

The only thing I see that could take some time is the provenance check and making sure all files files have the copyright notices and contribution agreements on all the contributions.

Just for fun I did a Twitter poll on the subject of PROJ going through
OSGeo incubation. I think the results are quite conclusive:

Yes:             84%
No:                3%
Don’t care:  13%

There were 58 respondents.

As there have been no negative feedback on the mailing list either, I
think that we should just get the process started.

Mike, how should be proceed from here?

It was indeed my intention to get the incubation process started

last year but I never really found the time to do so. It was my

intention to pick it up after the 6.0 release, so I am glad that

Mike and Howard has taken this up again. I am of course in

favour of PROJ becoming a proper OSGeo project.

That was the stated intention, I was just working to move the process along.

At this point, I think incubation into OSGeo is a fairly innocuous and reasonable thing for the PROJ project to undertake, but I would like to gauge the community's enthusiasm for such a thing.

 Wasn't that already the plan, as mentioned by Kristian back in August:
