Per completezza aggiungo l'inizio della discussione:
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/011602.html (e
successive)
e la pagina wiki dove stiamo raccogliendo i firmatari della lettera di
OSGeo contro l'adozione di Geoservices REST API come standard OGC:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API
Passando all'azione: mi sono già aggiunta tra i firmatari, indicando di
essere socia GFOSS.it. Invito tutti a leggere la lettera e, se ritengono
opportuno, aggiungere commenti e firmare.
Volendo si può anche scrivere una lettera a nome di GFOSS.it,
indicando le ricadute a livello nazionale. Siccome di queste cose non
ho dimestichezza, chiederei a qualcuno/a dei più esperti di prendere
il testimone.

[OSGeo-Standards] ESRI, please publicly share reasons for given for
adopting the GeoServices REST API
Does the OGC still have any credibility as a transparent standards
organization after this?
I'm very disappointed in ESRI and OGC based on what I've heard so far.
Pretty hard to believe this is coming from the folks that first
published the Shapefile specification that made a lot of open source
GIS software practical. I guess that is what happens when there is a
lot of short term profits on the line.
How short-sighted. I hope they change their mind.
