[Foss4g2009] Climate Change Integration Plugfest - wiki and email list set up

[Cameron Shorter]

I've populated the Integration Showcase wiki on the OGC website at:
http://external.opengis.org/twiki_public/bin/view/ClimateChallenge2009/WebHome

and the email list is set up. Could everyone interested please register at:
https://lists.opengeospatial.org/mailman/listinfo/ccip-2009

Next steps:
1. Identify the core datasets that will be used for CCIP. The datasets 
should be:
** Available under an Open License, like Creative Commons
** Cover a range of data types. At the very least, simple GML for 
points, lines and polygons.
** Be Australian and/or New Zealand based.
Graham de Hoedt (BOM), and Ben Searle (OSDM), are you able to look into 
this?

2. Refine the Climate Change Scenario

We need this worked out before we can ask vendors to participate.
At the moment, the scenario is looking at the big picture that BOM needs 
to solve. I think we need to be able to break it into bite sized pieces 
so that specific vendors can address only the part that they have 
expertise in. Eg: Mapserver developers will want to set up a WMS/WFS 
with supplied data, but not the rest.

Graham, is BOM able to take the lead on this?

3. Engage other sponsors.
I believe Graham will be chasing potential Australian sponsors. (CRCSI, 
CSIRO, Landgate are candidates).
I have a meeting with Google in a few weeks and will sound them out.
Greg, are you able to start sounding out international sponsors though 
OGC channels.
