> GDAL/OGR.  Most notably he has developed the libkml based OGR KML driver.

> Brian lives relatively near the Islandwood sprint and would arrange to get
> himself there and other ancillary costs.  We would just be paying the
> entrace fees (which also implicitly covers housing and food).  Information

> sprints

> I'm afraid I haven't done a detailed financial review of GDAL/OGR project
> funds but I think we have in excess of $10K in reserve so this is a modest
> expenditure, and I think can serve the community building goals of the
> project
> well.  I think we should also be open to similar support for other
> substantial
> contributors to GDAL/OGR who don't have corporate travel support, who would
> like to attend the sprint, and who would be able to get themselves there.
> However, that is not explicitly covered by this motion.
