[Incubator] istSOS Incubation Application

[Massimiliano Cannata]

dear Jody,
thanks for the complement to my application for entering the incubation
process.
In lines some note...

Yes, the version 2.0 has been released and we are already working on the
version 3 :-)

You should not be surprised, GRASS also comes from gov and universities ;-)
The projects was developed in university and comes from the need to manage
data from regional hydro-meteorological stations. In a moment of system
renewal, I decided to use SOS standard for this task, and after looking
around we decided to implement our own solution. Today it is used for
monitoring and early warning.

Indeed, the standard is hard to take place due to limited people managing
sensors, even though sensors are anywhere -> smart-phones...

this is a testing of the istSOS but currently is not automated, you have to
launch it manually...

 I look forward for expert opinion on this...
