Re: [location-iwg] Important: Top Level Project charter

[Chris A Mattmann <chris.mattmann@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

Great to see work going on here with respect to spatial data systems.

If it's any help at all here was the charter that we used in the Apache SIS project,
started at the Apache Software Foundation in 2010:

http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/SpatialProposal

Some of the Apache stuff won't apply but it will give you some idea of the type
of scope/etc. that you guys may want to deal with, or complement.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Chris

Missing this deadline means we wait 1 month for the next board meeting which we'd like to avoid. Please send any feedback by 8pm EDT on Tuesday September 11th.
