My take is that OSGeo is focused on fostering open source spatial, our mandate
allows us to work with projects wherever we find them (LocationTech, Apache
etc…).
I got to cover this in a recent presentation on OSGeo and Incubation
(http://how2map.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/osgeo-incubation-start-of-something.html).
Hopefully I did the topic justice.

I have been attending the LocationTech meetings, the uDig project I work on has
a proposal
(http://locationtech.org/proposals/user-friendly-desktop-internet-gis-udig) to
join LocationTech (in part because it is an Eclipse RCP project). So far it has
been educational experience comparing the incubation process between the
foundations (and a bit of a pain selecting a license
(http://udig-news.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/udig-change-to-epl-and-bsd-license.html)
compatible with the Eclipse foundation).

I think it is the same reality :-)
