Dan Brickley of W3C Geo fame announced the formation of the W3C Geospatial Incubator Group.

One of the topics the group will be discussing is GeoRSS. This kind of brings the whole topic full circle, at least relative to W3C.

Note that “Non-Members may join W3C or ask the Chair of an Incubator Group to participate as an Invited Expert, subject to W3C’s policy for approval of Invited Experts” so you, too, could wangle a seat at this particular table.

This was also noted in the W3C News:
“2006-07-05: W3C is pleased to announce the creation of the Geospatial Incubator Group, whose mission is to begin addressing issues of location and geographical properties of resources for the Web of today and tomorrow. The group is sponsored by W3C Members the Open Geospatial Consortium, Oracle Corporation, SRI International, Stanford University, and the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute (USC ISI). W3C Members may use this form to join the group. Read about the Incubator Activity, an initiative to foster development of emerging Web-related technologies.”
