Thanks Adam.

We have a lot to do to get the best out of our relationship with OGC so that it is a more win/win situation for both communities.

Therefore, do not worry too much about wading through past archives.

I’m much more interested in what we can do moving forward.

Kind regards,

Bruce

My contact so far with OGC is primarily in the point cloud DWG; and in a former life a couple of years working for an OGC member organisation delivering training/internal advice on what OGC web data services meant with respect to climate/EO data (WMS/WCS/WFS/WPS). There is a whole lot I *don’t* know, in particular about how OSGeo interacts with OGC (hence a discovery mission to do)

The OGC tackles hard interoperability problems and you will likely need to think and discuss deeply with like minded people. It is hard work, but it can be very satisfying and rewarding to be working on the bleeding edge of technology (as many open source developers are doing already).

It's generally not sufficient funds to enable full cost recovery. But if the alternative is to receive no funding at all, this might present an attractive option.
