[kde-community] The KDE Incubator needs YOU

[Kevin Ottens]

Hello community,

This year during Akademy I announced the idea to create an incubator for 
projects joining our community. We also had a BoF on the topic to collect 
opinions and ideas from people.

Now fast forward a couple of months, some work has been done toward putting 
such an incubator into place. The current state is available on our wiki:
http://community.kde.org/Incubator

Unfortunately it's going much slower than needed, and it's even slowing down. 
It's time for me to realize that I might not be the right person to put that 
into place. It is clear I failed at giving enough energy to this work.

That's why I'm announcing that I'm stepping down from that work. I still think 
the idea is sound so I'd love to put it in better hands. If like me, you think 
the incubator idea is important and you can devote some time and energy to it, 
I urge you to step up to push it forward and get it active.

I don't think much more is missing apart from preparing a starting kit for new 
projects, communicating around it, and contacting potential projects. Indeed, 
even slow, some work happened. On the wiki there is a draft process, and all 
the notes collected during the BoF and while looking at other incubators. The 
process might need some more work of course but I think it's getting 
somewhere.

So, who's up for the challenge?

Regards.
