Hi,

Now that the WCS 1.1 specification is available

 http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wcs

it's time to get started on GALEON phase 2.  GALEON 2 information is housed
on the same wiki as before

 http://galeon-wcs.jot.com/WikiHome/GALEON%20Phase2%20Main%20Page

Last year, it seemed that most people could participate in telecons on
Wednesday, so I'm proposing our first GALEON 2 telecon be Wednesday,
February 28 at 8:00 - 9:00 AM Mountain Time.  It would be helpful to know if
you are planning to participate so I'll have a rough idea of how many phone
lines to reserve.

In my mind, the main topics to discuss are:

-- Plans for additional datasets and WCS servers
-- WCS 1.1 client and server implemention plans
-- Relationship to other OGC projects and standards, e.g.,
    - the Oceans Iinteroperability Experiment and Sensor Web Enablement (SWE)
    - SWE/WFS/netCDF for collections of point or station observations
    - CSW/ebRIM for catalogs of WCS data collections
    -  GML dialects
-- GALEON role in the April OGC Technical Committee meetings

It will be especially important in this meeting to examine the many possible
objectives that have been suggested for GALEON 2, but then to pick out the
few important ones for us to focus on so we don't get spread too thin.

So please let me know whether you are planning to participate in the
teleconference and, if you have any  specific GALEON 2 contributions in mind
for your group, add them to the wiki page

Many thanks.
