Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board candidate vision: Landon Blake
Collaboration is always tricky, we have done a couple experiments with GeoServer/deegree collaboration - but found it depends on a developer from each team having budget at the same time (and enough budget to pay for collaboration). -- Jody Garnett On 26 August 2014 at 11:45:50 am, Landon Blake (sunburned.surve...@gmail.com) wrote: Dirk: You are correct.

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.

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.
