Re: [udig-devel] uDig not listed in OSGeo: why?
Thank you for the clarification!

I was not aware OSGeo had such formally defined rules as those underpinning the incubation process.
I skimmed though the docs and I understood that it is an all-but trivial task.

Now I have a better big picture of the relations between projects.
Thanks again.

I got tired after GeoTools incubation process :-)

More seriously we are fairly well connected to OSGeo with strong ties via the GeoTools community. Where we have been weak is bringing in new RCP developers and pushing GIS into the Eclipse space.

Hense the strategic move to join the Eclipse Foundation via the LocationTech industry working group.

Now I understand that OSGeo does not mind if projects belong to more than one organisation (especially now that they have backed down to a "volunteer driven" organisation).  Still with the help we are getting from Andrew and Sharon I cannot see the advantage in joining OSGeo since we already have strong ties. 

That said I would like to see the version of uDig used by the OSGeo Live DVD upgraded to 1.4.0 :-D That is one of the main publicity things OSGeo does.

Note: I am the incubation committee chair for OSGeo so I have to tread a little lightly on this topic.

While gathering facts about uDig I realized the project is NOT listed in the OSGeo home page list.
Is there any historical / technical / legal reason for this?
