[OSGeo-UK] Should we sponsor adding support to GDAL for FileGDB?

[Tom Chadwin]

Hello all

OSGeo:UK seeks to use the money you have kindly given for conference
tickets and in donations as effectively as possible. A significant use of
the money is sponsorship of open-source geo software.

The committee started to look for sponsorship opportunities, and the
possibility of adding support to GDAL for GDB rasters was raised:

GDAL is the open-source spatial file format library which drives many of
the spatial software packages (open-source and proprietary) that we use
every day. GDB is an Esri file format.

The committee are considering pledging £500 towards this work. However, we
want to find out whether this would be popular with you all. How much are
GDB rasters used? Would this really help the UK FOSS4G community?

Please let us know what you think.

Thanks

Tom
