[Spanish] Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] Would you be concerned if the "GeoServices REST API" became an OGC standard?

Wed May 8 14:28:10 PDT 2013

Hola lista,

Cameron nos invita a firmar la siguiente carta abierta que se va a
enviar a los miembros con derecho a voto del OGC(*) y también a añadir
contenido a la lista de Concerns.

Para firmar deberéis estar dados de alta en el wiki para poder editar
la página. También sería deseable que tuvierais creada vuestra página
de usuario (podéis inspiraros en la mía si no se os ocurre que poner)

Un saludo,

(*) Al parecer ESRI ha mandado también correos a los miembros con
derecho a voto del OGC explicando sus razones por las que se debería
aprobar el estándar.

Pedro and others,

We have created an Open Letter to the OGC and OGC voting members.
I'm hoping you will include your name to the list of signatures. You
might also want to add content to the list of Concerns:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API#Open_Letter_to_OGC_and_voting_members

May 2013

We, the undersigned, have concerns that approving the "Geoservices
REST API" as an OGC standard, would have detrimental impacts on
interoperability within the spatial industry.

We strongly urge that the proposed "Geoservices REST API", as it
stands in May 2013, be rejected as an OGC standard.

People have listed different reasons for concern. They are described below.

Hello,

I've made a brief summary of this thread and sent it to the Spanish
Local Chapter mailing list linking specially the mail from Cameron[1]
that started the conversation.

I've tried to encourage them to participate in the debate, right now
we are receiving some responses, in spanish in the spanish list, I'm
going to wait a couple of days and translate them to english and copy
them in Discuss.

I think that all the Liaison Officers from the Chapters should do the
same and try to make their communities aware of this situation.

Bests,

Stephan, Adrian: is there an effective way for OSGeo to address a
statement to OGC, beside the official requests for comments and our
Discuss list?

Thanks for your thoughts,
Anne

Any official statement issued by the OSGeo Board or community on this
particular vote should probably be addressed to the

    'Voting Members of the OGC Technical Committee'

since they are the ones who are taking a position during this vote and
deciding whether to accept it or not as an official OGC standard.

The statement could be sent via Carl Reed, who is the head of the OGC
Technical Committee. He lurks on this list as part of the collaboration
agreement between the two communities and can be reached directly at:
