OSGeo folk:
I'm formally requesting that OSGeo endorse the amicus ("friend of the court")
brief being submitted by the Sierra Club to the California Supreme Court. This
case covers significant interest to our community, including the definition of
GIS data and the public's right to access open records.
The amicus letter can be found at [1]. More details on the case can be found
on our wiki at [2].
If you have any thoughts on this matter -- pro or con -- please reply to the
list or to me.
Following the protocol given in [3], discussion of this issue will take place
on this mailing list until January 26th. At that time, I will collect the
community's responses and submit them to the Board for discussion at our next
meeting on February 4th.
