[Java-collab] OSGeom code initiation

[Vincent Heurteaux]

Salut Ben,

Thank's for your answer.
On our side we'll be involved on GeoAPI, ISO10107 and it's evolutions.  
GML and ISO19107 are really close, so Im sure we could have some  
exchange around API in the future.

As you pointed, there are underlying tensions, then I gess it will be  
difficult for us to collaborate on OSGeom, and we'll continue our  
implementation on Geotoolkit as we planed first.

On your side (the community not only you), feel free to come to us if  
you have whatever questions, we're open minded, and all for  
collaboration.

Cheers,

Vincent
