Could you please share your comments on a public

Hi Landon,
I think your idea of starting with a one day addition to the existing
land surveyors event is great, this is a great way to introduce FOSS4G
to a new community.
Also don't be afraid to 'just do it', if your chapter is interested in
hosting their own event, excellent! It's very very

I have been notified that ESRI/OGC will not be sharing reasons for
voting for the GeoServices REST API that has been sent to OGC voting
