Congratulations to the whole PyWPS community, and thank you Tom for your effort! By the way, yesterday morning I actually presented this graduation news to the whole Canadian Cartographic Association conference attendees. When I was preparing I noticed that PyWPS was still listed as in-incubation on the Incubator wiki, so I have updated that and also listed its related documents in the "Graduated" section of the wiki (I've been doing this for a while now, to have an archive of the process, without having to search years of email archives); it would be great if you can also check the list and make sure the information is correct https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee#Graduated

*PyWPS finished the OSGeo incubation process*

On April 11th 2018, OSGeo Board of Directors recognized [1] PyWPS project as an official OSGeo project, thanks to the efforts of the PyWPS Project Steering committee and Tom Kralidis, our incubation mentor. The incubation process started 9 years ago [2] and was one of the longest processes within the OSGeo ecosystem. Over this time, PyWPS demonstrated [3] a stable community, evolving into version 4 with completely new code base and license change, took part on several Google Summer of Code events, formed a Project Steering Committee [4] and many more.
