Ben,

My colleague here at USGS, Eric Wolf, lead an effort (unfortunately 
unsuccessful) for us to host the next FOSS4G Conference here in the Front 
Range. He is very hooked into the FOSS4G Community (especially here 
locally). He is also a PhD Student at CU-Boulder (in the Department of 
Geography). I have copied him on this reply. 

On a separate but related note, I have a good rapport with George Percival 
of OGC (Director of Interoperability Architecture) for a few years now. So 
I am familiar with some of his efforts.

Hi again,

Periodically, I get a suggestion that GALEON and THREDDS would be good 
candidates for participation in the Free and Open Source Software for 
Geospatial (FOSS4G) movement, initiative, project, community, or whatever 
it is.  I briefly looked into it one time earlier

http://sites.google.com/site/galeonteam/Home/GALEON%20Phase2%20Main%20Page/Unidata%20OGC%20Interoperability%20Day%20Presentations

but it came up at the recent OGC TC again.

Do any of you have any experience with, thoughts on, or suggestions 
regarding whether participating in FOSS4G would indeed be an effective 
approach to furthering our particular -- implementation-oriented approach 
to interoperability?
