[Geotools-devel] should GeoTools join the new Open Source Geospatial Foundation?

[Ian Turton]

ChrisH and I have spent the day in Chicago discussing the new OSGEO foundation - (see http://logs.qgis.org/geofoundation/ for the irc logs).
Basically we have raised 23 members (those of us who were here) and elected a board of 5 (inc Chris H) who will then nominate 20 more members and then elect 4 more board members from the whole membership.

There is concern that Java is under represented and keen interest in GeoTools joining. It would be really good if we could discuss this at the irc this week and that people could read at least the end of the logs to see whats happening.

There would be no downside I can see and lots of up. I expect Chris and Jody can add more details and we can all try to answer any questions.
