Jody / Martin, I have an action item from the last Incubator meeting which is to prepare something for the board to approve making it clear that project PSCs will be in charge of code assigned to the foundation on their behalf. At this stage, this will likely be a "statement of position" by the board, but when we revise the foundation bylaws, it hopefully be included in the bylaws as part of a section describing PSC powers, and independence. I explained this at the board meeting, and the board members present seemed to be agreeable with the idea. This had been the intent of the board since the early on. So the blocker is that I haven't yet written something up. Partly because I'm busy but also partly because I'm trying to percolate in the back of my head whether the statement out to be more broad, trying to cover the whole topic of PSC independence, and what the boundaries of that are. Is having this statement a blocking issue for GeoTools? The other topic that I think is more of a blocker understanding the steps we need to go through for copyright assignment. I'll take that up on the incubator list with Jennifer (an Autodesk lawyer) and Rich. Basically we need to get a prototype assignment letter so we know how to do this legally.
