Re: [location-iwg] Top level project and PMC

[Andrew Ross <andrew.ross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Jody. Your experience with uDig, Geotools, and other projects is invaluable. Your experience and depth in the industry is an asset. Your familiarity with Eclipse development processes makes you particularly well suited to this role. You have been one of the founders getting LocationTech going. What more can I say? I am glad to support your interest. Thank you!

+1 on your suggestion re: Chris - but I don't want to pressure him.

Good to see things moving along.

I am interested in volunteering, and would also like to recommend Chris Holmes if he is available.

Hi Everyone,

The charter is approved, members are signing up, projects are working on

proposals, logo is being designed, web site is being created, etc. etc.

It's now time for us to create a top level project and Project

Management Committee (PMC) for LocationTech.

I believe we'll have 3 or 4 top level projects in time to represent our

core areas: model based design, mapping, data storage and processing,

etc. For now, we'll get started with 1 to minimize overhead. We can

create more when the pull compels us.

The PMC & PMC leaders help projects developers to understand the

development process and follow it. I am now recruiting the handful of

people to serve as our initial PMC representatives. We're fortunate to

have many good candidates involved with LocationTech already. Please do

volunteer if you're interested or suggest someone you feel might make a

good candidate.
