What about speeding OSGeo incubation in a way, that projects, who made it
through locationtech, would have to work only at the differences between
both incubations, afaik the community aspect and maybe something else, in
order to make it to OSGeo project? It would be more easy for them to make
it
Not only is that a great idea Jachym - it is already happening.
MarbleGIS works with kde.org and had an easier go of OSGeo incubation as a
result. KDE is very strict about headers - so they were in good shape. KDE
had some policies to follow, so many of our questions about how the
project was
nice, so if I correctly interpret your recommended path would be:
1) apply to LocationTech (which is faster then OSGeo incubation) and then
2) when passed apply also to become an OSGeo project
Some FOSS4G projects are GPL... (I think of GRASS for example), what these
project should do as, if I
Hi Maxi, All,
You raise an excellent question and the answer varies depending on what
one is looking for. This whole discussion should help understand why
both organizations are complementary and not really competing that much.
Jody and Rob already pointed out some similarities and
Daniel, I would see this similarly, thanks

Crap - I guess this means I better set up another incubation committee
meeting :)
There was a great talk at foss4g about burnout (anyone got a link?). I
always try and respect the volunteers I am working with ...

I have two contradictory positions wrt LocationTech and event organizing, and
I’ll start with this one, since it’s easier: as long as the organizations are
separate, I think that OSGeo should maintain its own brand and use a
professional organizer that is 100% dedicated to OSGeo without any

Good questions Rich. I had never heard of LocationTech until this
discussion started, which indicates to me how removed I am from this
discussion (and general OSGeo day-to-day admin/affairs). Nevertheless,
seems like everything is sorted out and everyone is happy. Let's get back

can watch a lots of organisations starting to take on location as GIS goes
more mainstream. OGC is working with W3C, Eclipse has LocationTech, Apache
