[OWSLib-devel] Fwd: Call for OWS Common Server Python base

[Stephan Meißl]

Jachym, Tom, Angelos, All,

this sounds like a great initiative. In EOxServer [1] we've already
invested quite some effort to provide the server side for WMS and WCS
(e.g. [2]). Don't know yet how this could fit into a common
owslib-server but maybe something to explore to save some efforts.

I'm looking forward to welcome you in Vienna next March!

> nice, to share some code base and start to work on common OWS-server
> implementation, which could cover needs of various projects (currently
> PyWPS and pycsw), for their server-side implementation.
> 
> As you might know, PyWPS started to be rewritten from scratch and some
> currently used approaches seems to be interesting for others as well.
> Pycsw is on the other hand widely used, they are both OGC OWS
> implementations and so, they have some common needs (for example
> Exception handelings, the whole server-side infrastructure,  etc.).
> 
> So we would like to invite all members of the (open source) geo-python
> community to join us on OWSLib-dev mailing list [1] (because the library
> could be part of it, as owslib/server) within a week from now.
> 
> The discussion will start there beginning with *monday 24.10.2013*.
> Please, drop short information about you and project, you are interested
> most to this list, once you are connected, so that we know, each other.
> 
> We would also like to join the Vienna Code sprint [2] in next year, and
> push the work further forward, if the discussion will lead to common work.
