Radu,
It sounds like PointCloudLibrary might be a candidate for including on
the OSGeo-Live [1] DVD, and associated marketing pipeline? Does it fit
the category of "an established Open Source Geospatial project"?

All,
Over the weekend, in overflowing rooms at the Point Cloud Processing
workshop and PCL tutorial at CVPR 2012, Willow Garage proudly
announced the creation of Open Perception, Inc. (OP) --
http://www.openperception.org, an independent non-profit foundation,
focused on advancing the development and adoption of open source
software for 2D and 3D processing of sensory data. For more details
about the announcement, please see the official press release
(http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/6/prweb9612759.htm).
Open Perception is founded by a global community of researchers and
engineers for the benefit of the industrial and research 3D perception
communities. The Point Cloud Library (PCL) project represents Open
Perception's most important work to date consisting of a large scale,
BSD-licensed open project for 3D point cloud processing.
The foundation is set up to receive donations and sponsorship from
anyone, and will concentrate on paying developers in the community,
giving students travel grants and stipends, organizing open source
events, and supporting its projects, such as PCL. The more support OP
receives, the more it can do and give back to the entire world.
Open Perception is an open organization. We are welcoming support
ranging from a pat on a shoulder, to lines of code and monetary
donations. Please visit the foundation's Get Involved! page
(http://www.openperception.org/get-involved/) and see how you can
contribute today.
Cheers,
Radu.
