Project

Hello,

I'm writing to request that the incubation committee consider PROJ-JNI 
(https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI 
<https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI>) for inclusion as an OSGeo 
Community Project. This project's goal is to provide a JVM ecosystem set 
of native bindings to upstream PROJ, an increasingly important task 
given the increased development speed of PROJ in recent years, starting 
with the changes post PROJ 6. In particular, PROJ's shift to SQLite 
requires that JVM users of PROJ eventually interoperate with native 
libraries, making native bindings to PROJ itself a logical next step.

One very tangible benefit of inclusion, in addition to helping build 
community support for the project, would be the potential use of the 
org.osgeo/proj or org.proj/proj Maven coordinates as a home for project 
releases. The project has an initial 1.0 functional release tagged on 
GitHub, but artifacts haven’t yet been released to Maven Central given 
the placeholder group ID so far.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

    - [X] Confirm by checking README or project description 
(https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI/blob/master/README.md 
<https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI/blob/master/README.md>)
    - [ ] project page on the osgeo website (this we do not yet have)
    - [x] We ask projects have some user documentation, for example an 
OSGeo Live quickstart (linked from the README)
- [X] Have a free license or an open source license. (MIT, 
https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI/blob/master/LICENSE 
<https://github.com/Kortforsyningen/PROJ-JNI/blob/master/LICENSE>)
    - [X] The license must be OSI approved (MIT)
    - [X] We ask that the project team check the file headers and double 
check the license has been appropriately applied (it appears on all code 
files)
- [X] Welcome participation and new contributors (certainly looking for 
contributors and participation, which is part of why we seek to be a 
community project!)
    - [X] We look for a clear contribution policy (see README, we will 
work through github)
    - [X] We ask that the project demonstrate collaboration, perhaps 
with a history of bug report or pull requests (github)
    - [X] Projects are required to have a code of conduct (contributor 
covenant,
