[georss] GeoRSS meeting review

[Joshua Lieberman]

Andrew,

Thanks for the efficient summary as well as kick starting the CMS  
transition. Now for the hard work...

I will add that there was also discussion of a followup meeting, same  
time, same place, on April 27. A little more lead time time this  
time. We should be able to discuss GeoRSS developments from both the  
OGC Ottawa meeting and Location Intelligence.

Cheers,

Josh
