Hi Martin,
If you are ok with it, I suggest that we prime the media (particularly
the media who have already reported this story and the spatial media) by
providing them with advance warning that this story is going to break on
Monday, and provide them with a write up of the story.
If you plan to convert your slides into a blog post, then I suggest
sharing that text. (Providing text gives you a much better chance of
getting what you want written published, as writers tend to cut and
paste from your words).
Otherwise, we can share your slides, along with the summary of the meeting.
I'd like to prep the Australian media on Australian Monday (Sunday in
the US) such that they are ready to publish a polished article the
following day after the Ad Hoc meeting. I suggest you aim to release
your personal blog post at the same time as news agencies release their
story. In news, it is all about timing if you want to get maximum publicity.
Martin, how would you like to approach this? As always I'm happy to
review a draft of your text.

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.
