[GeoNetwork-users] french community...

[Lagarde P. <P.L...@br...>]

Hi all, 

For two years, a "french" community gathering national and local
authorities, national geographic survey, public organisations,
associations,... has been managing a project about metadata for french
users : definition of french iso profile, support for INSPIRE metadata
requirements,... and development and support for an opensource metadata
editor tool, named "geosource". The first version was released in 2007
and the second will be released at the end of the year. Both versions
are based (of course) on GeoNetwork. More specifically, version 2 is
developed by two developers of GN (francois-xavier, matthieu) that are
very attentive to guarantee the compatibility with the trunk of GN. Some
new developments will be soon proposed to GN. 

So far, with the experience of the Geosource V1, I think it will be very
efficient to tighten the link between the french community (more than
1000 users) and the international GN community. Like the local chapters
of OSGEO, it will be very interesting to create and promote a french
Geonetwork community: specific pages in the GN website, help to
translation of GN application, user mailing-list for french people,
promotion of french speaking GN users and Geosource, etc,... We're ready
to "give life" to this community with yours

In that context, we would already appreciate to use the SVN of GN to
publish the code of Geosource V2. Would it be possible to create a
sandbox to commit our code (Francois-Xavier would be in charge of the
task) ?   

Thanks by advance for answers and proposals,

Pierre LAGARDE
