Ironically enough I also had this conversation with someone yesterday, when they were asked "Would GeoServer being a part of OSGEO matter?" they answered "Yes, it would matter very much". Ben Caradoc-Davies wrote: > Andrea Aime wrote: >> That is, people ask why GeoServer is not part of OSGEO >>

Ciao Andrea, I think you already know my position, due to previous discussions we had. In the past I have been more than once in the situation where institutional grants where (unofficially) refused or given to other projects since GeoServer was seen (talking from a EU perspective here) as an "Ame

My understanding was always that GeoServer would be very much willing to join OSGeo, but being that tied to GeoTools and hence to the GeoTools incubation process, the GeoServer community had not enough energy to overcome both at the same time, and hence GeoServer wanted to track the geotools pr

I am okay with this; but I would ask that OpenGeo to retain copyright (it has provided influential for me in contract negotiations). Although I suppose on paper it looks like the difference between two foundations - so perhaps it does not matter? With respect to branding - I view this as a failure

I think the original idea of what a project becoming an OSGEO project would mean has turned out to be different in reality. I know that originally a major argument against a project joining was that the projects "identity" and branding would have to be sacrificed. But it turns out that is not r
