So I put together the text for GSIP-116 (see the bottom of the page):
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-116
OpenPlans has seen these two agreements so it is okay put them up.
However the long delays, combined with a change of leadership at OpenPlans,
has resulted in an alternative being proposed ... OSGeo.
Advantages:
- A bit more reliable tracking paper work (great improvement due to new
secretary)
- Contributor agreement already available, those who signed for GeoTools
are already covered
- Good community vibe
- More involved with GeoServer than OpenPlans
Cons:
- A bit more reliable tracking paper work (was hard to check on
contributors previous to current secretary)
- Mixed track record with respect to legal help (in the past our questions
have been fielded by FSF)
- OSgeo has no active management of IP, it is up to us as PSC to check
stuff as part of each release
I am going to bash up a proposal as GSIP-118 now (and will mark GSIP-116 as
deferred).
