[Ica-osgeo-labs] [OSGeo-Discuss] Do you remember this?

[Suchith Anand]

Hi Sergio, Micha,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The OSGeo Foundation will respond formally to this in due course as we had initiated this open letter for the need for standards in LiDAR data formats [1], [2]. I request OSGeo Board to add this in the agenda of the next Board meeting and also for the F2F meeting, so we can discuss and plan next steps.

But first we will wait for response from the Open Geospatial Consortium - who as per their website is  committed to making quality open standards for the global geospatial community and have been working on this by setting up a Point Cloud DWG. We have put our trust in OGC in this process , so let us first get the response from OGC. I am ccing Scott Simmons of OGC to get their response.

Best wishes,

Suchith
