[GSoC] OODT-436 and OODT-437

["Mattmann, Chris A (388J)" <ch...@jpl.nasa.gov>]

(apologies for the cross post)

Hi All,

FYI, I'd like to call your attention to OODT-436 [1] and OODT-437 [2], two new spatial 
projects proposed for GSOC 2012. One is to enable the File Manager to support a new
GeoJSON service which will make OODT products available in GIS systems like 
qGIS, etc., as layers. This will also have a tie in to the work going on in SIS right now
and the current thoughts about loading data from OODT into SIS related to GeoRSS, 
etc., and the work that Ross has been doing in OODT-402 [3].

In addition, the other issue is to support an image overlay service in OODT so that we 
can begin to support a raster like capability with OODT data. I'm super excited about
both of these issues, so feel free to ask questions and if there are any GSoC potential
students out there interested in these projects, please contact myself, or Paul Ramirez
(who is in the process of signing up to become a mentor for GSoC).

Thanks!

Cheers,
Chris
