Discussion of MapServer Foundation

Open Source

Sean Gillies at Import Carography notes that there's a move afoot to explore a MapServer Foundation to mange the development of that open source Web mapping software. He suggests it might be overkill, but feels strongly it should not be done in secret. The first set of discussions, instigated by Tyler Mtchell, are on what Gilles describes as a "log in" required website. I read the docs with no login required.

I don't much about foundations, but learned something about the Apache Foundation when one of its big wigs spoke at recent Open Source GIS Conference.

What's your feeling about commercial organizations that participate in kind or cash support to help in disasters and publicize those efforts?
No issues; it's good for the planet and good business.
It's ok, but does make me wonder about their motives.
It's pure marketing, and bothers me.
Have no strong feeling.
