I agree that with some love, OSGeo4W has the potential to be an
excellent asset to the OSGeo community.
It also shares many synergies with OSGeo-Live, and I could see many
opportunities for the two projects to benefit each other.
For instance, the OSGeo-Live Project Overviews could be extended to
include references to OSGeo4W.
We could also align OSGeo-Live/OSGeo4W releases and marketing pipeline
(based around the FOSS4G calendar).
From what I can gather from the outside, it seems osgeo4w's primary
requirement is a 1+ dedicated developer(s) who will drive the core
functions of the project. Namely, setting a release schedule, chasing
developers for contributions, triaging bug lists, etc. This can be done
with or without a PSC or official OSGeo endorsement.

I suggest to make a Steering Committee
for OSGEO4W, so to have a clear roadmap, and give Windows (urgh!)
users a predictable environment. I think some of our million users
would be happy to support this effort, if they would know they
contribute actively to something they need.
Hi Paolo,
I agree with you entrirely, as we've already been talking about this today.
Being committed to provide usable binaries on Windows, you can count me in.
Setting up a build environment (probably a version of a Windows Server x64
edition with MSVC2010 for instance) providing to compile all the stuff at
the same place would be a prerequisite.
Best regards,
Tamas
I'm actually already providing such an instance and was planning to
clone it to several instances as well as a testing instance.
Frank has the keys to drive it and has been using it for several months
already.
It's part of my lab's participation in the ICA-OSGeo initiative.
