Indeed, it has a history of being ignored, thanks for bringing it up
again. Now that some major projects are moving we might also get more
backing. Marketing has ordered a Logo for graduated projects that should
come soon. It is a starting point.
Good news.
Another issue that I have brought up long ago but which was also never
followed up on. The only process in place now is a report by the PSC that
is due ... whenever someone feels like it. Some of the issues dealt with
in the incubation documents are to put good processes in place so that you
will (hopefully) never have to bother about copyright and licenses anymore
but things like the community, governance and general activity should be
monitored in some way.
How about a report in the Journal every 6 months or so (every other
journal issue) from the incubator committee detailing which projects
started incubation, which graduated, and how the others are moving
along. And this could be the right venue to promote the benefit to FOSS
projects of going thru the incubation procedure.
