Andrea,

Its good to hear of our common interests for geospatial implementations in multiple communities.

It would be good to get abstract(s) about theses projects in the ApacheCon geospatial track:
This CFP closes February 12, 2016: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp <http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp>

Luis Bermudez will be the OGC staff member at FOSS4G NA this year.

Regards,
George

I have been cheering for it since I learned of it a few years ago. And I personally think collaboration just makes sense. For those that didn't already know about it, Mozilla is also doing some really cool stuff.

My abstract for the geospatial track of ApacheConf suggests coordination between open source organizations working on geospatial - based on the use of open standards.  One aim I have for the session is to identify project coordination actions be undertaken after the conference.
