Astun have been in contact with the Ordnance Survey regarding this and would like to participate. I'm still trying to understand the outcomes from a business perspective i.e. will there be negative backlash if software doesn't have a positive outcome.</div>

I agree that it would be great if OSGeo would participate.<br>
<br>
The best would be to have a champion, ideally based in UK, to coordinate OSGeo's involvement and be the liaison between the organizers and the rest of the OSGeo community. Any volunteer?<br>

Folks,<br>
I very much support this activity and believe that it would be quite<br>
beneficial to participate. Ordnance Survey is a powerful multiplier in<br>
the UK geospatial business due to its position as the main data<br>
provider to the public. There is a license program in place called<br>
PSMA (Public Sector Mapping Agreement) entitling all public sector<br>
broad access to OS data. Not Bene - this is a lot more than what is<br>
published through the Open Data program licensed under the Open<br>
Government License. I think it is important to understand what data is<br>
available and also what can be done with the service offering of<br>
Ordnance Survey. The plugfest will additionally allow you to<br>
interoperate with other software you typically encounter in the area.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Arnulf<br>
<br>
PS: I am not working for or paid by Ordnance Survey or OGC and nobody<br>
made me say ony of this, it is just my own little gut feeling.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm leading a joint Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and Ordnance Survyey interoperability plugfest to test OGC standards in the UK geospatial community. So far, there has been a lot of interest from commercial vendors in the UK, and I would very much like that the open source community be represented at the plugfest as well.<br>
<br>
The plugfest will be held at Ordnance Survey headquarters in Southampton, UK. There will be two sprints, one on the 17th of October and the other on the 9th of December. There will also be a results presentation on the 10th of December.<br>
<br>
The following link gives more information about the plugfest, including a call for participation document.<br>

The deadline to participate is the 2nd of October. I hope that OSGeo can join us!<br>
