Congrats to the OSGeo-Live team, and welcome to the incubation process.

Thanks everyone for responding so quickly, this motion can close early.

OSGeo Live is a very successful outreach initiative here at OSGeo providing open source first-contact experiences through the use of a bootable distribution of Open Source applications.

The initiative has asked that their distribution (the software project) be considered for the OSGeo incubation process, to help the team review their ip, work on their process and be recognized for their excellent work as an open source software project.

This application has been accepted by the incubation committee and has been brought to the board for approval (the incubation committee mandate is not completely independent, requiring board approval for incubation approval and graduation activities.)

With the motion past we have several actions to track:

1) news item, incubation chair responsibility
2) osgeo.org sidebar update
