Agenda

• What more is needed to get OSGeo's Geodata Repository running at Telascience
  • User accounts to ask SAC for if needed
  • Responsibilities for different data sets
• What kind of portal is needed - is wiki enough?
• Some type of browsing interface for the data neccesary:
  • OpenLayers for Raster/Vector data? Easy to set up, might not be full featured enough for some people?
  • Perhaps Ka-Map's tile.php as cached layer to feed both kamap and openlayers?
  • Single-image screenshots for Raster data as overviews
  • Vector dataset descriptions: What various attributes are/mean (better metadata)
  • GeoRSS out to get updates, with bounding boxes -- need to get some way to display this data, does anything do GeoRSS rendering with bounding boxes right now?
• Free Earth Foundation working on distributed open geodata services targeted at WorldWind - how can we help?
• Feedback appreciated on metadata client
