Landon, others,
A comment on the name "OSGeo Labs". I just did a Google search with it
and it brings up also the university laboratories that have been set up
under the auspices of the ICA - OSGeo MoU. Thus it seems to mean two
things, and it might be confusing - for example the Slashgeo.org tag
"OSGeo Labs" is used for the university labs.
The software stewardship (or how would you call it) is managed by the
incubation committee and the university laboratory network is managed
by, hm, the Board (no, it's not managed by the education committee as
one would guess). This might be just a naming issue but I think it is
worth noting. But I also think that there could and probably should be
collaboration between these two initiatives.
Regards,
Ari

I'm in the process of trying to take over as the steward for OSGeo
Labs as part of my duties with the OSGeo Incubation Committee. As part
of this process I'd like to get a handle on the projects that are "in"
labs. There is a short list of "stable" and "young and experimental"
projects on the current Labs wiki page. Since I'm editing that page
today, here is the list:
Stable Projects:
- GeoWebCache
- pgRouting
Young and Experimental Projects
- GeoExt
- GeoFunctions
- Geoinformatica
- OpenGeocoder
- OpenRouter
- Grids
- OSGeo Graphics
- pycsw
- OWSLib
- SemanticGeo
- ZOO-Project
Can you please let me know if you are involved with one of these
projects? I'm trying to determine which projects are "in" labs, and
then establish a point of contact with each project so I can help them
get ready for official incubation.
Thanks.
Landon
P.S. - If you have thoughts on the purpose and work of OSGeo Labs,
please let me know. I have my own vision, but I'd like to get feedback
from other OSGeo members.
