Several interesting applications using WPS-1.0 standard have come out in
since FOSS4G-2014. Also WOP-2.0.0 Interface Standard [1] has become
available in 2015 but very little discussion on this forum regarding
this.

I would propose in going ahead with the WPS shoot-out with teams that
plan to be present at FOSS4G-2015. In the absence of the appointed 
Sheriff, Ex-Sheriff, Gerald could take up task of organizing and 
presenting the results not only to keep the momentum going but
attracting new developers from Asia.

Best

Venka
