In the Australia/New Zealand chapter of OSGeo, we have been discussing
the idea of a Geospatial Integration Showcase.
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geospatial_Integration_Showcase
The Geospatial Integration Showcase is a practical demonstration of
Application and Data Interoperability which underpins FOSS4G
presentations and workshops and provides a platform for future
initiatives, including:
* An GeoFOSS demo CD (often called Live CD)
* Spatial Data Infrastructures
* Testing suite programs
* Open Data programs
* Future conferences
* Mashups and Boot Camps
* Application selection decision trees (a tool for System Architects)
The Integration Showcase is the sum of many long term integration
projects and is structured to be significantly bigger than a one event
demonstrator and all participants are strongly encouraged to think long
term.

Bart, I think your idea of an INSPIRE/OSGeo gap analysis has a lot of
similar goals to the Integration Showcase and I think we have a lot to
gain by working together on this. So yes, I'm interested in an OSGeo
fit/gap analysis.

Hi list,
I want to toss up an idea with respect to INSPIRE. Most of the
standards are still in draft, but I think it would be useful for the
OSGEO community to know which gaps have to be filled in order to play
a role in INSPIRE SDI's. This e-mail is mostly to see who is
interested in both INSPIRE and the OSGEO software stack.
I think it could be useful to do an ongoing FIT/GAP analysis between
the INSPIRE implementing rules and the OSGEO software stack
capabilities, so that as a community we know where we stand, and we
can quickly make sure the software stack is ready for INSPIRE. It is
an opportunity not to miss IMHO.
If you are interested, can you please sign up with your name on the
OSGEO Wiki INSPIRE page?

Any further discussion should be done on the OSGEO standards list
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). So if you are interested and not
subscribed, please go to:

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bart
