GeoMoose Incubation Checklist

Incubation checklist reviewed on email list, links provided below.
* http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geomoose-users/2012-May/004016.html
In response to this review several improvements were made by the community (see RFC section below).
== Incubation Checklist ==
=== Open ===
1. Open and public manner
License: 
* http://www.geomoose.org/info/license.html <-- MIT based License
Open Meetings:
* http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Meetings
* http://geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/2012_07_26_Meeting <-- incubation discussed here
* http://geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/09_14_2012_Roadmap_Planning_Meeting
* As a consequence of moving through the Incubation process, the GeoMoose PCS has instituted a regular PSC meeting schedule of roughly once a month. These meetings are open and and usually occur online with an occasional Face to face meeting. The meeting Notes are published to the GeoMoose wiki.
Public decision making process:
* RFC 1: Project Steering Committee Guidelines
* RFC 2: GeoMOOSE Project Mission (What is GeoMOOSE)
* RFC 3: GeoMOOSE Release Process
* Also as a consequence of moving through the Incubation process, the GeoMoose project has implemented a formal PSC that meets to discuss the project and make decisions. RFCs related to this action have been passed and additional related RFC's are in a pending state. This is a desirable development from the GeoMoose PCS group and they have been ver motivated to moving this along as a process.
