<pre wrap="">OK,
Let's call it "OSGeo SDI committee"
To board: There was proposal to start new committee at OSGeo, which
would be focused (as Jeff and Serena pointed out) at SDI in general.
Now, INSPIRE is big issue to most OSGeo projects and this committee
would take care on it, but it should be focused, as mentioned, more general.
I'll start some wiki page about it and add new item to our agenda for
the next meeting.

<pre wrap="">Hi Jachym,
This is a great idea, and I agree is missing as a direct goal by the
existing OSGeo committees. As Serena mentioned, it should be focused
on SDIs in general. Would you be willing to start a wiki draft of
this SDI committee? (containing goals, responsibilities, communication
methods, structure [chair, members],...)
You can then take that to the Board for their thoughts.
Thanks for championing this for OSGeo. (I agree, INSPIRE may be EU
focused but it affects all of our projects, and there could be other
global directives that this committee could help guide OSGeo through).

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I'm working on some presentation about OSGeo relationship to
INSPIRE directive (some preliminary czech version of presentation,
which should be presented at this years INSPIRE conference [1])
And it came to my mind, that OSGeo does not have any body, related
to INSPIRE [2]
While I agree, INSPIRE is mainly EU-only topic, I think,
implementing INSPIRE has big market potential and software, which
does not indicate support for INSPIRE is banned from to be used in
public organizations in EU. I believe, also "rest of the world" can
profit from changes, necessary to be implemented in EU.
Therefore I would consider INSPIRE committee in OSGeo as important
body, which would coordinate efforts of OSGeo projects towards
INSPIRE, so that we could declare: OSGeo projects are INSPIRE ready
or we are working on it.
Any opinions to this? I'm personally usually against forming "yet
another committee", but in this case, I do not see the topic to be
covered and it really is important issue here.
