Great question Martin. This meeting precisely overlaps with some internal project meetings I have at JPL and unfortunately I won’t be able to get approval for international travel. However, I have mentioned Apache SIS several times in the context of the NASA Earth Science Data Systems WG to many folks including George Percival/OGC and Jeff Walter/NASA, etc., as being the real exemplar at Apache for implementation of OGC services.
Even though I won’t be at the meeting I’ll be there in spirit cheering you on! :-) Cheers!
