[Pywps-dev] wps workshop roundup

[Jachym Cepicky]

Hi all,

one more time: big thanks to Luis and Ulrich from CRP Henri Tudor, and COST
action, which made it possible, this event - wps workshop - happen.
We had great time, had load of presentations and discussions about WPS, WPS
2.0.0, PyWPS, 52North WPS, cooperation, future, past, presence etc.
Presentations and photos should be online soon.

To round several things up, we started to code back-end of future PyWPS
(currently in the outputs branch), inspired by work of Alex Morega, but also by
our talks. 

License
-------

We agreed, best license model for future version of PyWPS (known as PyWPS-4)
will be MIT [1] to open PyWPS usage to bigger potential market. I was also
picked as current copyright holder, to make things easier. 

License header I would propose for PyWPS-4, would look like this:


    Copyright (C) 2014 PyWPS Development Team, represented by Jachym Cepicky

I would therefore ask Alex Morega explicitly, since he was not at the meeting
and since he already made major contribution to PyWPS-4 branch, but also all
others, if you do agree on this. I'll then add header to existing files.

OSGeo
-----

We will restart the incubation process of PyWPS, so it becames OSGeo project.
Steering committee will have to be formed - will ask you all for joining, once
it's needed.

Coding
------
What about weekly hangouts? Or one in two weeks?

Jachym

P.S. work will continue with basic validators
