Hi Martin,<br>
If you are ok with it, I suggest that we prime the media
(particularly the media who have already reported this story and the
spatial media) by providing them with advance warning that this
story is going to break on Monday, and provide them with a write up
of the story.<br>
<br>
If you plan to convert your slides into a blog post, then I suggest
sharing that text. (Providing text gives you a much better chance of
getting what you want written published, as writers tend to cut and
paste from your words).<br>
Otherwise, we can share your slides, along with the summary of the
meeting.<br>
<br>
I'd like to prep the Australian media on Australian Monday (Sunday
in the US) such that they are ready to publish a polished article
the following day after the Ad Hoc meeting. I suggest you aim to
release your personal blog post at the same time as news agencies
release their story. In news, it is all about timing if you want to
get maximum publicity.<br>
<br>
Martin, how would you like to approach this? As always I'm happy to
review a draft of your text.<br>
<br>

Following on from the OSGeo Open Letter on the Need for Open
Standards in LiDAR [1], Martin Isenburg has been invited to give a
10 minute presentation as part of the Point Cloud discussion at
the next OGC Technical Committee Meeting, 3pm EDT, this Monday 1
June [2], in
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Boulder Colorado USA. It is possible to participate in this
meeting via goto-meeting and phone, although I'm not sure about
capacity. Scott Simmons (CCed) from the OGC has details.<br>

I've seen Martin's slides. They are excellent. They clearly
articulate the problem, and provide a clear and simple 5 step
solution.<br>
<br>
Martin, your slides, in combination with any actions, feedback, or
comments that come from this meeting will be very news worthy. I
suggest that you publish these slides, or alternatively convert
them to a blog post or similar, and publish soon after the
meeting.<br>
<br>
We should also approach news agencies as we did before and invite
them to write up this story. Telling this story will help the
greater community understand how to promote and select Open LiDAR
standards.<br>
<br>
Martin, I'm sure I speak for the OSGeo community and 140 people
who signed your letter in wishing you all the best in your
presentation on Monday.<br>
