Following on from the OSGeo Open Letter on the Need for Open Standards
in LiDAR [1], Martin Isenburg has been invited to give a 10 minute
presentation as part of the Point Cloud discussion at the next OGC
Technical Committee Meeting, 3pm EDT, this Monday 1 June [2], in Boulder
Colorado USA. It is possible to participate in this meeting via
goto-meeting and phone, although I'm not sure about capacity. Scott
Simmons (CCed) from the OGC has details.
I've seen Martin's slides. They are excellent. They clearly articulate
the problem, and provide a clear and simple 5 step solution.
Martin, your slides, in combination with any actions, feedback, or
comments that come from this meeting will be very news worthy. I suggest
that you publish these slides, or alternatively convert them to a blog
post or similar, and publish soon after the meeting.
We should also approach news agencies as we did before and invite them
to write up this story. Telling this story will help the greater
community understand how to promote and select Open LiDAR standards.
Martin, I'm sure I speak for the OSGeo community and 140 people who
signed your letter in wishing you all the best in your presentation on
Monday.
