[OSGeo-Discuss] Who's in incubation, who has graduated?

2008-01-29 Thread Micha Silver
I think this topic has been discussed before. On the OSGeo home page 
there's the list of OSGeo projects, but no indication of which projects 
have finished the incubation and are "OSGeo certified". To find out, you 
have to make your way to the "Incubation Committee" wiki page, and there 
is the only list (I could find) of which projects have graduated. 
Furthermore on that page it says:
"The following status and provenance documents are for historical 
purposes, and are no longer actively maintained"
which *might* be misconstrued to mean that those projects are no longer 
considered  part of OSGeo.


Why not give some clear visual indication (font color, etc) on the main 
OSGeo web page of which projects have finished, giving them the credit 
they deserve?


Cheers,
Micha

Hello Cameron,
 
In Spain there are several case studies.
 
Valencian Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is under a project 
of migrating "all" systems to open-source software[1]. As a matter of fact, 
that was the reason to build gvSIG[2]. All geospatial infrastructure 
(previously with ESRI) has been moved to open source (gvSIG, PostGIS, 
MapServer, deegree, geoNetwork opensource).[2]
 
Hydrographic Confederation of Guadalquivir river (Spain). A migration of a big 
part of ESRI components to open-source has been made, with use of gvSIG, 
Geonetwork opensource, MapServer, GeoServer, deegree [3]

Another issue that I have brought up long ago but which was also never
followed up on. The only process in place now is a report by the PSC that
is due ... whenever someone feels like it. Some of the issues dealt with
in the incubation documents are to put good processes in place so that you
will (hopefully) never have to bother about copyright and licenses anymore
but things like the community, governance and general activity should be
monitored in some way.

How about adding a simply asterisk * beside ones in incubation - with

Should be easy enough to do.

How about a report in the Journal every 6 months or so (every other 
journal issue) from the incubator committee detailing which projects 
started incubation, which graduated, and how the others are moving 
along.  And this could be the right venue to promote the benefit to FOSS

Dr Dan Ames,

Gary suggested that you might be able to provide a case study or similar 
into the EPA's migration from ESRI to Open Source.
Specifically I have some Australian Government Agencies who would be 
interested to use such work, and in general, such case studies would be 
very beneficial for the uptake of Open Source globally.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Case studies for migrating to Geospatial FOSS?

2008-01-29 Thread Cameron Shorter

Miguel,
Based upon my very limited Spanish, and skimming the titles, these look 
like excellent case studies.


Do you think these would be any chance of encouraging the responsible 
departments to translate to English?


The business case for a sponsor is that sponsoring a Case Study will 
greatly increase the chance that other agencies will also migrate to 
Open Source, which in turns means these agencies will invest in Open 
Source which is good for all Open Source users.

Cameron,

An alternative is that an organisation specialising in translation type

funding.
