GCN Covers MS “Joining” OGC

The article highlights the importance of the company joining OGC, but does not mention Microsoft was a member in the past. That makes this comment give me pause.

OGC Chairman and chief executive officer David Schell told GCN that Microsoft’s decision to join OGC represents a major change in the industry. In its early years, OGC was supported primarily by developers of geospatial tools for vertical markets, such as ESRI and Autodesk. The recent addition of Google and now Microsoft represents a sea change, according to Schell.
