Hi, My name is jorge and I work for a small GIS company in Spain. I have some experience in Ossim programing and remote sensing. I would like to give a hand but I don't know what will be the amount of work. I have also some experience in grant writing (although mostly for Spanish government) There are any specification or objectives for the software? Thanks Jorge

Or that people that would be good at writing the OAM code are too busy with other paid work. I think the theory was that if someone was paid to write the code it would be one avenue for that to happen. Of course it is possible that then no community develops around the code base and we are stuck in a situation that all future code people demand to be paid for it. Though Richard offering to help write a grant is an offer to perform a task. I suppose someone else could say "I'd rather just write the code" and that would solve the inherent lack of code problem. -Kate On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 2:17 PM, Christopher Schmidt <crschm...@crschmidt.net> wrote: > On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 02:13:57PM -0400, Richard Weait wrote: >> In conversation with Mikel last week, it was suggested that the OAM >> reboot could move forward if a grant proposal was written. > > Based on what evidence? > > There needs to be software and hardware.
