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

[Bruce Bannerman]

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

I’ve asked the person to submit it to this list over the next few days.

Cheers,

Bruce

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

[adam steer]

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)

Regards

Adam

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 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
