Hi Jody,
Great to hear there is some activity happening with the CRS libraries.
But the question is not as to whether the projects are active, but
rather whether there are people within the projects wishing to push
these projects through the OSGeo Incubation process.
Rob, Martin, any thoughts from you?
I'd suggest we give people a week or 2 to respond, probably try and
reach out directly as well, and if there are no takers, then we should
gracefully have these projects step back from the OSGeo Incubation
process, in order to better reflect the current OSGeo status of these
projects.
Warm regards, Cameron

Apaprently there is activity happening around the edges, I was talking
with Rob and Martin about one of the metac crs projects.
MetaCRS is kind of a "top-level" project facilitating communication
between a number of different groups. As such it may be able to recast
itself as a "committee" (that has a shared github some of their
initiatives).
I think MetaCRS would be a great candidate for an "OSGeo Technology"
stream - the stated goal of MetaCRS is to:
/"treat a variety of coordinate system activities as one Project
from an OSGeo point of view. This helps provide enough "project
mass" to justify the full OSGeo project treatment./
If we set up "OSGeo Technology" right these individual projects will
meet their goal of being recognized as the fundamental components that
they are (and be supported).

Hi MetaCRS and OSGeo Incubation people,
Has there been any activity on the MetaCRS project [1] over the
last few years? The last active ticket I see is from 2013.
It is listed as one of the projects in OSGeo-Incubation, and I
think has been in incubation from close to the start of OSGeo
founding?
Is anyone working on it? And in particular, does anyone doing any
work on taking Meta-CRS through incubation?
I'm wondering whether it should be retired from the incubation
process, or maybe the scope of projects it is trying to incubate
be reduced?
I ask in part because we include a description of MetaCRS in
OSGeo-Live, but have no point of contact to maintain documentation
since Mike Adair has stepped back from OSGeo activities.
