Andy Turner's SEE-GEO Meeting 2008-03-20 Web Page

Introduction
- This meeting was:
  - For the SEE-GEO consortium to meet face to face for the first time with other experts to highlight and discuss work that had been done by the SEE-GEO Consortium on the OGC GeoLinking Interoperability Experiment and consider or determine where this should go and discuss or detail further collaboration.
  - To share understanding and gauge our experience and expertise of security in both Grid and Geospatial technology.
  - A component of The JISC Grid OGC Collision Programme.

    - GLS Server licence?
      - To begin with looking to release this under an IBM CPL license as this is what OGSA-DAI is released under.
      - OGSA-DAI is being moved to Apache license 2.0
      - OSS-Watch will hopefully provide advice ass to what licenses to use.
      - BSD License is good?
      - Is LGPL no good?
