Hi Henrique,
It sounds like you are looking to build a ground swell of usage of a
spatial encoding system. This is a difficult task, and not something
that OSGeo or OGC processes are set up for.
First there needs to be a number of users all calling out for this
standard, then OGC will help these users work together to formalise the
standard, then software will start getting written to support the
standard, then OSGeo will help with branding this software as quality
software. (I'm grossly simplifying).
The very hard part, which I think is your challenge, is to build a
ground swell of people calling out for this standard. I wish you luck,
but I think it will be a hard.

Hi Cameron,
thank you for the kind support. According to Mahatma Gandhi, the
stages for innovations are:
First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they fight you.
Then you win.
OGC didn’t reach the second stage.
From my side, I’m open for any proposals in favor of the consumer, e.

Hi Henrique,
I suspect that you would be better served to develop a standard under
the umbrella of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
The OGC is specifically set up to develop spatial standards, where as
OSGeo has a focus on Open Source geospatial software (which typically
makes use of OGC standards).
Have you reached out to the OGC community yet? If not, I suggest
getting in touch with them. I've CCed Scott Simmons from the OGC, who
is also on this list.
Warm regards,
Cameron

Hello Jeff,
I'm deeply grateful that I've been invited to propose to this
discussion forum the possibility to let the Munich Orientation
Convention be an OSGeo standard.
So Burundian authorities could discover and prove the benefits of
the system. They have already effectuated the creation of the
VolksNav S.a www.volksnav.bi <http://www.volksnav.bi> which will
now be the local provider of better orientation tools. VolksNav
S.a will also produce maps with clock based search grids and plans
to reproduce all introduced systems in other African countries.
Investors are already knocking on the door.
The dominoes will fall from there, the Convention will be a
de-facto standard and OSGeo will have no relevance within this
process.
I'd like to return the favor in 2016 as a sponsor. Would this be
possible or are there restrictions on that?
Henrique
