Hi,

I am Norman Barker, and I am a software engineer at Mapbox. As part of the
satellite team here at Mapbox we wrote https://github.com/mapbox/COGDumper,
a Python3 utility to dump tiles out of a COG. We wrote this to explore the
COG format.

I am interested in COG for reducing data transfer and management. I am also
interested in comparing COGs to other formats.

I have no opinion on the name chosen.

Norman
