>> Hello Tribe
>> 
>> We had a good ZOO meeting in Montpellier last friday, at LIRM Lab ( 
>> 43° 38'.22 , 3° 50'.42 ).
>> Here are a few feedbacks:
>> 
>> The following pelople have attend the meeting:
>> 
>> Nicolas BOZON (3LIZ)
>> Bernd DECKERT (Student)
>> René-Luc D'HONT (3LIZ)
>> Gérald FENOY (GeoLabs)
>> Vincent HEURTEAUX (Geomatys)
>> Eric LEMOINE (CamptoCamp)
>> Guillaume SUEUR (Neogeo tech.)
>> 
>> During the morning session, the ZOO Kernel internal mechanisms have 
>> been recalled and detailed by Gerald.
>> Multi-language and bindings mechanisms were discussed, and ZOO Kernel 
>> could have been exposed as a service provider (load dynamic library)
>> Then, ZOO service architecture was detailed (source code + .zcfg 
>> metadata file) and example source code was shown (example service with 
>> conf, input, output...)
>> The server side ZOO API which will be needed by the end-developers was 
>> also discussed.
>> The ZOO Server architecture (ZOO Kernel + MapServer + PostGIS) was 
>> also presented and some crazy stuff were said about AGG !
>> 
>> After that, Nick continued about the ZOO project itself, its 
>> organization and its goals for community and buisness. Actual and 
>> future role of sponsors and knowledge partners have been also explained.
>> This led to a very interesting brainstorming about licensing. Dual 
>> licensing and restrictive licenses were get onto, and BSD, GPL3 and 
>> MPL (and combinations we can think of) were discussed. We still have 
>> to make a choice as our views still sometimes differ regarding the 
>> Kernel. I can remember everybody agreed that the ZOO Web Client will 
>> be released BSD.
>> 
>> During the afternoon session, we came back a bit one the technical 
>> side, with a ZOO Kernel install try by Guilllaume !
>> Then, Gerald explained the basic HelloWorld.py service and show some 
>> other demos (multiply, OGR, CGAL (voronoi, delaunay)).
>> Others targeted services have been quickly discussed (GRASS, R, 
>> Sextante (compatibility with FastCGI ?), SOS, OpenOffice).
>> 
>> Discussions then switch to ZOO Web Client developement with 
>> interesting remarks from Eric and ReLuc.
>> ZOO Skins and concept of discovery were considered and limitations 
>> about dynamic form creation was onece again discussed. If am right, 
>> the idea now is to construct some WPS OpenLayers Protocols and to 
>> manage the outputs with Openlayers Formats, as Reluc already did in 
>> his demos. Some more talks are needed to make something really generic 
>> soon.
>> ZOO sandboxes creation has been suggested, and will be probably done 
>> both for ZOO services and ZOO Web Client.
