  • Migration to Incubator, Labs, Flagship system.
  • Sorting out reviews/reviewer process
  • Focus on simplification of processes
  1. Samantha will duplicate the current handbook document: Aim is to start with a fresh document using the previous version as reference.
  2. GPC Members will go through handbook and cross off information that will no longer be relevant: Flagship designation, Sourceforge references, etc.
  3. Flagship designation will be left out for now. We will start with Incubator and Labs.

  5. Ownership of Projects: Agreed that this needs further development in the future, but for now we will leave it as business as usual. Project Leaders keep ownership of their projects.
