<p>I'm looping Scott's comments (from the OGC) into the general OGC
discussion forum, as I think there are others who might be
interested.</p>
<p>I'll add that you should plan to dedicate a lot of time if you
intend to partake in OGC initiatives. The OGC tackles hard
interoperability problems and you will likely need to think and
discuss deeply with like minded people. It is hard work, but it
can be very satisfying and rewarding to be working on the bleeding
edge of technology (as many open source developers are doing
already).<br>

(and anybody else listening). </span>Something that might
be attractive to providers of open-source offerings is the
opportunity to participate in OGC testbeds and other
initiatives. Any OGC member who's interested might consider
the following:</div>
<div><br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>1. Sign up as an Observer for the OGC Testbed-15
initiative to learn how they work.</div>
<div>2. Plan on submitting a bid in early 2020 to implement
new offerings as part of OGC Testbed-16.</div>
<div>3. Selected bidders will become participants to receive
cost-share funds to help offset the cost of developing
testbed component implementations.</div>
<div>4. These participants will retain full control over the
source code assets. All that must be delivered are
interoperability
<!--StartFragment-->demonstrations showing how the work
helps advance the OGC standards baseline.</div>
<div><br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>Under current testbed policies, OGC does not take
possession of any of the developed source code. So in some
sense, this is a roundabout way to get "paid" to develop
open-source code. It's generally not sufficient funds to
enable full cost recovery. But if the alternative is to
receive no funding at all, this might present an attractive
option.</div>
