osgeo projects update

[jive]

Request to update the OSGeo Projects panel on the website (the panel is not available from drupal near as I can tell and IRC suggests it is supplied by an include).

1. Replace "Other Projects" with ...

Outreach Projects

• Public Geospatial Data

• Education and Curriculum

• OSGeo Live (link to ​http://live.osgeo.org)

2. Move move projects in incubation to ...

Incubation Projects

• GeoMoose

• ZOO-Project

• MetaCRS

• rasdaman

• TEAM Engine (​http://teamengine.sourceforge.net)

[wildintellect]

It's a Drupal Block ​https://www.osgeo.org/admin/build/block/configure/block/3

Outreach Projects is done. Should Live DVD be removed from the left side Community list?

Is this a decision of the incubation committee to move all incubation projects out of their current classification into an "Incubation" category?

There appear to be several other projects still marked as in incubation, has the status of those changed or would these also move?

[jive]

I will ask Cameron about that ... hold on.

Yeah he likes the idea, in part because the project is called "OSGeo Live" (and not Live DVD)

[jive]

This is not a decision by the incubation committee, just me trying to update the website to reflect what projects are in flight. A category communicates better then the little "symbol" to indicate what projects are in incubation.

My personal preference is to remove incubation projects from the home page, as OSGeo is not in position to recommend them yet. But I understand that not everyone feels that way :)

[jive]

Motion made on incubation committee email list: "Incubation Projects remain listed on the OSGeo webpage, under a distinct "incubation" category."

Motion has passed with 6 in favour and none against.

To update the list of incubation projects (pycsw is added to the list):

• GeoMoose (​http://www.geomoose.org)

• MetaCRS (​http://trac.osgeo.org/metacrs/)

• pycsw (​http://pycsw.org)

• rasdaman (​http://www.rasdaman.org)

• TEAM Engine ( ​http://teamengine.sourceforge.net)

• ZOO-Project

[Gérald Fenoy]

To complete the urls list:

• ZOO-Project ( ​http://www.zoo-project.org )

[jive]

So wildintellect we are good to go here.

Perhaps leave GeoMoose as is or remove the incubation icon, the Board has not yet approved (​http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Board_Meeting_2013-04-11), but we are out of the incubation committee, ​http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/incubator/2013-April/002170.html

Or rearrange it for this, then I can do a different ticket once it is official. That may be the best way to avoid complicating this.

Replying to wildintellect:

From IRC, setting them aside in a separate "Incubation" box, in order to provide categories is fine with me (option 1). My intension was option 2 as your describe.

The motion was to separate them out from the regular list (as the <> symbol is not communicating a project status) - both of your alternatives options accomplish that separation.

For the record I just added pycsw into the existing "Metadata Catalog" section. Please move it around according to this ticket if you need to.

suggest s/Metadata Catalog/Metadata Catalogs/ for the section title.

I've split out the Incubation projects into it's own Block below the Projects block. I just did it with the existing list. I'm a little confused though because the request on this ticket does not contain a comprehensive list of projects, their status, and url. I looked at ​http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Incubation_Committee but that seems to not be fully updated (Geoserver Graduated, Team Engine not on page, Marble not even mentioned in this request). In order to finish this request I'll need to have an actual full list to work from. - Alex

[Jeff McKenna]

Thanks Alex, looks good.

First up thanks for updating, that is is far more clear what is going on!

I updated the Incubation wiki page, but I am not sure we have we have a good list. That wiki page tracks progress - and some projects have not reported any progress yet.

As for ​http://marble.kde.org they do not display the OSGeo project in incubation logo on their home page yet, so are not listed from our website yet.

I also note that GeoMoose has graduated since this request was made (and now needs to swap sides). Thanks for updating to include pycsw.

[jive]

I take it back, marble does display the osgeo logo (near the bottom), while their mentor would normally arrange things we may as well do it now.

Details are: Marble ​http://marble.kde.org

Anything else missing?

• TEAM Engine (​http://teamengine.sourceforge.net)

Has this project officially entered incubation?

[jive]

Yes the TEAM Engine has entered incubation, they are just showing no visible signs of progress yet.

I agree with you that we need an official list (somewhere other then the home page which I cannot edit) and will to the incubation landing page here: ​http://www.osgeo.org/incubator

I also note since we started this discussion that GeoMoose has graduated and can now be listed under *OSGeo Projects*

[wildintellect]

Added, I guessed Web Mapping, please let me know if it belongs elsewhere (perhaps library?) I think that closes this ticket.

Hi,

In 'Outreach Projects' there's a link to the Live DVD, which is fine for us who already know what that is, but to someone who doesn't (the target audience) it's not very informative. perhaps tack on the word "demo" to it? Otherwise is it a humanitarian fundraiser? or an IRC channel? a weekly webinar? or..?

(* yes, it's more than just a demo, but it is at least a demo)

thanks, Hamish
