[OSGeo-Discuss] Open LiDAR being discussed at OGC Technical Committee Meeting

[Cameron Shorter]

Following on from the OSGeo Open Letter on the Need for Open Standards 
in LiDAR [1], Martin Isenburg has been invited to give a 10 minute 
presentation as part of the Point Cloud discussion at the next OGC 
Technical Committee Meeting, 3pm EDT, this Monday 1 June [2], in Boulder 
Colorado USA. It is possible to participate in this meeting via 
goto-meeting and phone, although I'm not sure about capacity. Scott 
Simmons (CCed) from the OGC has details.

I've seen Martin's slides. They are excellent. They clearly articulate 
the problem, and provide a clear and simple 5 step solution.

Martin, your slides, in combination with any actions, feedback, or 
comments that come from this meeting will be very news worthy. I suggest 
that you publish these slides, or alternatively convert them to a blog 
post or similar, and publish soon after the meeting.

We should also approach news agencies as we did before and invite them 
to write up this story. Telling this story will help the greater 
community understand how to promote and select Open LiDAR standards.

Martin, I'm sure I speak for the OSGeo community and 140 people who 
signed your letter in wishing you all the best in your presentation on 
Monday.
