[Psc] Application to accept GeoExt as a OSGeo Community Project

[Seth G]

Dear Incubation Committee,

On behalf of the GeoExt PSC I would like to apply for OSGeo Community Project status for the GeoExt project. 

>From our understanding the project meets all criteria as listed at [1]. The process for application has been documented in the GeoExt repository [2], along with a PSC vote. 

GeoExt is open source and enables building desktop-like GIS applications through the web. It is a JavaScript framework that combines the GIS functionality of OpenLayers with the user interface of the ExtJS library provided by Sencha. The project home page is here [3]. 

The first release of GeoExt was in 2009, and the current version - GeoExt3 started in 2017. Source code copyright has already been assigned to OSGeo (I believe following an application made on the OpenLayers mailing lists [4]). The project will also feature in the next OSGeoLive release [5]. 

If there are any more details required for the application please let us know. 

Regards,

Seth / GeoExt PSC
