[OSGeo-Discuss] GEO task on Open Source

[Allan Doyle]

Looking at http://www.earthobservations.org/docs/WP0709.v4.pdf - page  
29, I see that Brazil has been assigned this task:

=====================================
CB-07-01e: Open Source Software

This Task is led by Brazil.

Encourage use of open source solutions across/along the Earth  
observation value chain through the development of an inventory of  
OSS solutions that could be used within GEO. Make this inventory and  
identified open source solutions available through the GEO Web portal.

Encourage the development of open source solutions across/along the  
Earth observation value chain by building on existing efforts and  
drawing on networks of OSS developers. As a starting point, use the  
TerraView and Terralib platform to encourage the development of open  
source software for end users dealing with integrated Earth  
observation and GIS data.
=====================================

Do we know who's doing this and is the Brazil GEO team aware of OSGeo?

See http://www.earthobservations.org/index.html for more info on GEO.
