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.
