Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board candidate vision: Landon Blake

Landon,
I don't understand your third point.
IMHO following OSGeo projects are Java projects (if I don't miss any):
- deegree
- geomajas
- geoserver
- geotools

 I wanted to share some comments on what I’d like to accomplish as an
 OSGeo Board Member. I have a bad habit of over committing, so I’m
 going to modestly limit my list of goals to the following:

 1)  Work to help private companies and businesses that support the
 OSGeo software stack and other open source geospatial software. This
 includes increasing awareness about the software support services made
 available by these companies to customers and clients. It also
 includes making it easier for these private companies to support OSGeo
 activities and to receive recognition for this support.

 2)  Work to further support OSGeo Labs. This includes identifying
 current hold-ups in our incubation and project approval process. I
 want to make it as easy as practical for projects to enter and
 graduate from incubation.

 3)  Provide better coordination and organization of our open
 source Java geospatial community. Currently GeoTools is the only Java
 geospatial project in our software stack. I’d like to see greater
 cooperation among the Java advocates of OSGeo. This might include
 joint development of some standard libraries and packaging standards
 for the different platforms. I also think there is a tremendous
 opportunity to develop open source geospatial applications and
 libraries for Android.

 4)  Organization house-keeping. This includes checking in with
 each committee to determine if it is functioning and if it has the
 resources it needs. Defunct committees will need a reboot. Committees
 that lack sufficient volunteer support or resources should be hibernated.

 However the election turns out, I hope to continue my work on the
 Journal and with OSGeo Labs.


 Thanks.


 Landon

Dirk:

You are correct. I overlooked those projects. Kinda embarrassing since I
helped Geoserver through incubation. Thanks for the correction. I still
think there is room for more cooperation among Java geo developers.
