Hi Ben:I do not know about FOSS4G per se, but the major sponsor of it appears to be OSGeo (http://www.osgeo.org/). They are responsible for Mapserver and Geotools and most importantly GDAL. GDAL is a nice tool for converting between formats, and supports Netcdf and OpeNDAP, at least partially (I can't remember if it is limited in dimensions with netcdf), and provides the conversion for Mapserver. Conversations about supporting netcdf4 or related things would strike me as valuable.

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 earlierhttp://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?-- Ben _______________________________________________ galeon mailing list galeon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information, to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
