Re: OODT-402 progress update

Ross,

I agree with Chris that you are doing a great job on this.  Thank you for
all the hard work in setting this up.  Having a standard geospatial
interface from the FileManager to SIS will prove extremely helpful to
several JPL/NASA Earth Science Missions in the future.

Just wanted to say thanks!



Cameron

Hi Tom!

Thanks for your encouraging words.  It means a lot to me that the OODT
team are happy with my work so far.  I hope I can deliver something
useful that will be of benefit to you guys.

Regards,

Ross

Re: OODT-402 progress update

Posted by Ross Laidlaw <rl...@gmail.com>.
Hi Chris & Cameron,

Thank you for your kind words.  I'm honoured to have the opportunity
to contribute to these projects and to work with and learn from superb
mentors.  I very much like the fact that both OODT and SIS are
developed and used by NASA.  It will be a great feeling and sense of
achievement for me if I can make a positive contribution and therefore
benefit these projects.

Regards,

Ross
