Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Standards] Spare OGC membership slot

[Bruce Bannerman]

Thanks Adam.

We have a lot to do to get the best out of our relationship with OGC so that it 
is a more win/win situation for both communities.

Therefore, do not worry too much about wading through past archives.

I’m much more interested in what we can do moving forward.

Kind regards,

Bruce

Hi Bruce, all

In the interests of open-ness that person is me - I’d like to look over the
standards list archive for a couple of days before officially tossing my
hat into the ring if that’s allright. My contact so far with OGC is
primarily in the point cloud DWG; and in a former life a couple of years
working for an OGC member organisation delivering training/internal advice
on what OGC web data services meant with respect to climate/EO data
(WMS/WCS/WFS/WPS). There is a whole lot I *don’t* know, in particular about
how OSGeo interacts with OGC (hence a discovery mission to do)

I’ve had one more expression of interest, off list.

May I also request that  OSGeo representatives who take up these slots to 
please also take some time to share OSGeo events updates and information in the 
OGC maillists to help build wider collaborations/synergies. As part of  the 
OSGeo-OGC MoU , they can share key OSGeo events (FOSS4G conferences etc) to the 
OGC maillists etc. So please respond to this call for volunteers request if you

I'm looping Scott's comments (from the OGC) into the general OGC discussion 
forum, as I think there are others who might be interested.

I'll add that you should plan to dedicate a lot of time if you intend to 
partake in OGC initiatives. The OGC tackles hard interoperability problems and 
you will likely need to think and discuss deeply with like minded people. It is 
hard work, but it can be very satisfying and rewarding to be working on the

Hi Jonathon,

Are you still interested in taking up an OSGeo membership slot within OGC.

It will give you a private membership that you will be able to use to 
participate within various OGC working groups and access member only OGC 
content.

If so, then I suggest that you use the membership slot to see how you can best 
contribute your skills to benefit both organisations.

I request that you provide updates to this list, at least yearly, but ideally

community.

You’ll find a wealth of resources on the OGC web site:
