Allan’s opinions… • EOGEO Workshops have been a very valuable outreach activity for CEOS/WGISS. • During the height of popularity, EOGEO Workshops were filling an unmet need. • Developers of WGISS-relevant software needed a venue • FOSS4G conferences are attracting large numbers • Provides a new venue that is quite similar to EOGEO Workshops • There seems to be a new, unmet need at CEOS/WGISS • This need seems to be somewhat different, possibly less developer-oriented. • Recommendation • Encourage WGISS participants to engage at developer level via FOSS4G. • Work with CEOS, other WG-groups to define new conference • Consider a “technology” liaison to continue to bring in fresh ideas from venues such as FOSS4G EOGEO Workshop Report
