Hi Scott,
Thanks for providing some hints at what is coming.
Are you in a position yet to share plans about your schedule and at what
point you would be looking for feedback?
Warm regards, Cameron

Dear Cameron,
Thanks for attending the Sydney GeoRabble last night and paying
attention to my talk! As I noted last night, the OGC Membership will
continue to develop Standards according to our process and the
normative publications will remain in a format that is most compatible
with the requirements of our members and alliance partners. However,
we are working toward one or more alternative publication “styles” and
auxiliary material to assist the broad developer community with
implementation of OGC Standards.
We appreciate the offer of including such an alternative publication
style in the OSGeo-Live DVD. Given the need to ensure that our
documentation directly references OGC and dependent normative
resources, it is not practical at this stage to connect the
development of the documents to the upcoming OSGeo-Live release. We
are happy to discuss at a later stage how we might coordinate as our
process matures. In the meantime, we encourage OSGeo and all our
partners to provide feedback to us as we release these new formats.
Good seeing you last night.
Best Regards,
Scott

The OGC Technical Committee technical meeting started today, and I
had the great pleasure in meeting many people face-to-face, whom I
previously only knew by email address, as well as catch up with many
I hadn't seen for years.
Of relevance to this thread was that Scott Simmons presented on his
hopes to make OGC standards much more readable and usable.
Scott,
As mentioned, I'm keen to see the OGC documentation to dove-tail with
OSGeo-Live documentation.
In particular, I suggest that the OGC might want to consider using a
similar development process to OSGeo-Live, writing a template, then
inviting the community to help write the documentation, then applying
a review cycle, then offering the docs to be translated.
Community building process is described here:

Our documentation writing process is here:

We are in the process of defining what will be included for
OSGeo-Live 9.5.
Maybe for this release we can aim to get one exemplar standard
written up, possibly more, which can then be reviewed and refined for
future releases, and used as a template for other standards.
Warm regards,
Cameron Shorter

We are starting the build cycle for version 9.5 of the OSGeo-Live
[1] DVD/USB/VM which will be released in March 2016, ready for
several special events, including FOSS4G-NA, FOSSGIS (Salzburg,
Austria), among others.
We would like to hear from anyone wishing to add new projects to
OSGeo-Live, anyone wishing to extend or add translations, or anyone
who has ideas on how we should shape the upcoming release.
