Report on the resolution of package name collision between GeoTools and GeoAPI

[Martin Desruisseaux <ma...@geomatys.com>]

Hello all

The joint OGC/ASF/OSGeo code sprint is in progress since yesterday. The 
initial plan was to resolve the "org.opengis" package name collision 
during this code sprint by renaming all "org.opengis" packages in 
GeoTools. This morning, Andrea Aime from GeoTools said that they plan to 
work on this issue during the FOSS4G code sprint this summer. They want 
to do more than just a package renaming, by adding their own internal 
refactoring on top of that. It sounds reasonable if it does not delay 
too much a de-conflicted release of GeoTools, so the plan is now to let 
them to this work and see if it is resolved after August.

For the context: GeoAPI history is documented in
