Randall,
I have entered your request for project incubation in the OSGeo Incubator
trac system:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/502currently just referencing your .doc file which I have stored on my own
server for the time being.
http://home.gdal.org/tmp/ProposalMemoToOSGeoOnTileProposal110609.docMy understanding is that the project is still in a fairly preliminary
stage. Generally speaking OSGeo incubation is designed for fairly mature
projects with a significant community of users and developers already in
place. As such I do not believe your project is a likely candidate
for incubation.
However, the project does seem very worthwhile and will be of interest
to many people involved in OSGeo. Incubation aside, I hope we can establish
ways of contributing and participating in your project.
To that end I am also cc:ing our board of directors. Furthermore I would
encourage you to join the OSGeo discuss mailing list and summarize your plans
there for broader distribution.
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discussYour project also brings to mind a flurry of recent discussion around
renewing the Open Aerial Map and a federated approach to tile server
caching. You might want to skim the material the material at:
