- Update on response/reaction to incubation issues document so far:
- Thanks for writing that up challenges - locationtech projects document
- Jody had an idea about "identifying choke points" (see the document comments)
- please review/comment on the document
- Mike is taking this up internally
- currently incubation is focused on doing everything at once, consider moving to a tiered system (similar to how locaitontech projects have formed a queue?)
- looking at the communication gap, normally filled by mentors, there is an incubation-list setup which projects members are encouraged to join - it has been low-volume thus far.
