-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jody, well said, I agree. But we may want to improve / enhance this message some more because it is one of the key aspects of Open Source. You want it? We want provide to provide it. What do we need? A well defined scope of the problem (outcome of a plug-fest). To get there we ideally want a concise user story (plan what plugs to test in the fest). Then we need a commitment to get the funding to implement it.
As a result you get the feature you need in forseeable time - as Open Source and for all to share. For us Open Sourceres this is obvious but for many used to proprietary software thinking this is not obvious at all. Therfore... /me is preaching to the converted crowd here, sorry about that. :-) Cheers, Arnulf On 10/09/2013 01:14 PM, Jody Garnett wrote: > My point was more that a "negative result" is a positive > opportunity to fund our open source projects :D -- Jody Garnett > > On 09/10/2013, at 8:12 PM, Ian Edwards <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > >> Hi Jody, all >> >> Take a look at the Iris project on OSGeo live for powerful NetCDF >> handling http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/iris_overview.html >> >> The OSGeo Live 7.0 version of the NetCDF4 python library >> dependency is broken, but can be easily fixed with... >> >> pip install -I netCDF4==1.0.4 >> >> Ian >> >> >> >> On Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 10:24 PM, Jody Garnett >> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> For the Sydney "Climate Change Interoperability Plugfest" we had >> a different kind of response.
