Hi everyone. Yes I was invited and I have not yet responded. I'm about to move countries (again) so things are a little crasy.
I will be in australia by the time the meeting happens but I may be able to join remotly, I would very much like to see other GeoTools developers there. (Though with reps for uDig and GeoServer the majority of GeoTools interest are covered.)

Yeah, this actually does bring up something I've been meaning to mention for awhile. New PMC's. Does anyone know where the current PMC list is? There are a couple nominations I'd like to make, and indeed I'm not sure I still should be a PMC as I don't do active development and don't really plan to. Though I plan to stay involved in design discussions where my historical knowledge is valuable, to still help usher new developers in, and indeed to help drive sustained support of GeoTools, by way of GeoServer. But we should maybe discuss what the role of PMC's is and should be. > It is a shame that we are not listed there yet, there are so many > people around that uses geotools, we need to be represented somehow I > would like to see GeoTools listed as well as all the other valuable > projects. James was definitely invited, GeoTools has been in all the discussions, indeed there's no way it can't be with uDig and GeoServer in the mix. I think the list just reflects those who have accepted. Unfortunately Jody is no longer going to be on the continent. Perhaps we should hurry up and get Bryce up to PMC (unless he already is and I'm forgetting it and/or completely forgot), and have James ask autodesk if his invite can go to Bryce. Martin would also be good, but he's a bit far away, would take awhile just to travel there and back. So rest assured GeoTools is deemed important by the sponsers, I think James was the top of the list of invitees that I saw. We just have to figure out who's going to represent. Even if it just defaults to me then I can start making sure the GeoTools name is included. But regardless, I do think we should have an irc meeting about what geotools feels about the foundation. If it's a good thing, and what such a foundation would have to look like for GeoTools to be a part of it. I get the impression it's still up in the air, and if we have valuable, concrete feedback it will be incorporated. > > Sorry if I am repeating myself or being annoying, it is the end of the > week maybe I am getting tired :-) . No worries, and it's definitely good to stick up for GeoTools. I started making a bit of noise on the foundation list to stand up for the whole java stack we've got going, not just GeoServer. Indeed since GeoServer is already supported by a foundation it probably makes more sense for some of the other projects, GeoTools in particular, to join and get the legal protection. best regards, Chris > > Simone. > > On 1/13/06, Chris Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>James is going to be gone, unfortunately.
