[mapguide-users] Raster problems: status ?

[Andy Morsell]

All,
In a message a couple weeks ago, Frank mentioned that he was willing to work
on the GDAL provider with an MGOS developer if they could get together in
person in the Ottawa/Montreal/Toronto region.  Apparently nobody took him up
on his offer.  I cannot do it due to schedules, but have a high level of
interest in this happening so as to improve the provider so that my clients
can be successful.  I am willing to contribute up to $500 for travel, hotel,
etc. to anyone qualified and willing to do this.  Perhaps others in this
group would be willing to offer further contributions.

Here is a link to Frank's initial offer:

Thank you.

Isca,

I have not received any indication from mapguide developers that someone
would be willing to support me in debugging raster problems within Mapguide.
I have an interest in pursuing this, but I have several other high priority
client projects this month and it would likely be several weeks before I
could even try to invesigate on my own (optimistically).

If a mapguide developer is willing to get together with me physically, I
would be willing to spend a day or two working on the problem.

Best regards,
