[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Standards] Spare OGC membership slot

I'm looping Scott's comments (from the OGC) into the general OGC
discussion forum, as I think there are others who might be interested.
I'll add that you should plan to dedicate a lot of time if you intend to
partake in OGC initiatives. The OGC tackles hard interoperability
problems and you will likely need to think and discuss deeply with like
minded people. It is hard work, but it can be very satisfying and
rewarding to be working on the bleeding edge of technology (as many open
source developers are doing already).
Warm regards, Cameron
