Some of us use OSGEO4W just because we have to, Windows is still, by far,
the most widely used OS in the world. I think it's a great idea to give it
some more attention, especially to the new experimental 64-bit version.
I would be glad to contribute in any manner possible, but I need to learn

Hi all.
OSGEO4W is a crucial piece of our infrastructure, and is one of the
main services we are giving for the spread of GFOSS.
I think it does not get the attention it deserves. The active
developer team is very small, many packages are obsolete,

I suggest to make a Steering Committee
for OSGEO4W, so to have a clear roadmap, and give Windows (urgh!)

Dear all,
Despite I agree with you that providing the OSGeo softwares in a binary
distribution is a good idea, what do you think of providing something, which
may be IMO even better to the end users / developpers, let's call it a build
kit or a build environment already correctly setup for
Hi Everyone,

Nice timing with our closing day at FOSS4G. BTW, their events map even uses
OSM, OpenLayers, and Mapnik.

Paolo,
As you know I am in support of establishing a PSC for the OSGeo4W project,
and would be pleased to participate. I would encourage you to email
osgeo4w-dev and lets get this under way.

If you can come up with a way to do it on Windows I think many people
are listening. The nature of Windows and Visual Studio tends to be what
gets in the way of a more package management style system or build
environment that's easy to replicate. I see no reason there can't be a
shortcut in
Done, thanks. Glad to see things are moving.
I think before tackling the tech issues, we have a problem with
governance here: once we have a PSC, we can go on deciding the way to
go. Before that, we risk having discussions, duplications, and few
packages.
Glad to see we have a good response
