18. If you do not intend to host any portion of this project using the
OSGeo infrastructure, why should you be considered a member project of
the OSGeo Foundation?

Do we want to make use of any osgeo infrastructure? Or are we happy with
what we have now? If anything I might think the mailing list? I would be
ok with svn except I don't like how the commits mailing list is set up
and can't figure out who made a commit without opening the full email.

Right, if we solve that switching svn would probably be the easiest.

Switching a 800 users ml to another system can be painful, not sure
we want that.

Another system that we could think switching may be jira to trac,
but I did not find any tool going in that direction (just the
opposite one) and we definitely don't want to switch over manually.

As for the site, we could have a single page on OSGEO pointing to our
existing infrastructure.

Finally, there is the file release system, which SF changes every other
day lately. Yet SF has this nice download counters and a distributed
delivery architecture. What can OSGEO offer in this respect?

Hi Guys: This is the kind of stuff we get to discuss with a mentor :slight_smile:
From previous experience none of this part matters too much; it is
more in terms of if OSGeo needs to organize any hardware resources to
support the project. Indeed I find the question a bit harshly worded.

The inncubation process is a bit open ended; those questions are only
to get the discussion going. As an example since the GeoServer
community has a strong sense of brand (and a very pretty website) I
expect a different discussion then MapServer (which rolled out a
default sphinx style).

Hmmm... ok for the formal move. I think everybody already voted with a +1 to that GSIP. Or I'm missing something?

Cheers

Maybe we should write on the page also some details on the switching before starting the formal vote?

However in general I’m favorable to the OSGEO incubation …

Please feel free to update the page - I also think everyone has voted +1.

I wanted to grab some of the communication for the record (and note
the dependency on GSIP-37).

I think I need a supplementary GeoServer blog post, showing the two process diagrams from the Perth meeting:
(1) GSIP as drawn by Justin and documented on the wiki.
(2) GSIP as implemented by Ben.

In (2) I noted that writing the proposal is the last step, one the implementation is complete. :wink:

That would be good - geoserver blog posts have been pretty formal as of late.

Yeah... GSIP unfortunately cover a very wide range of work, and for major efforts it is hard to do the proposal before hand. At times I have done this two phase, do up the basic proposal, just to socialize the idea and get peoples initial feedback, with some unofficial voting. Then go off and implement it, then come back to the proposal, finish it off and call for the official vote. We could amend the process to make this more formal.
