Hi Ben:
I do not know about FOSS4G per se, but the major sponsor of it appears
to be OSGeo (http://www.osgeo.org/). They are responsible for
Mapserver and Geotools and most importantly GDAL. GDAL is a nice tool
for converting between formats, and supports Netcdf and OpeNDAP, at
least partially (I can't remember if it is limited in dimensions with
netcdf), and provides the conversion for Mapserver. Conversations
about supporting netcdf4 or related things would strike me as valuable.

Hi again,
Periodically, I get a suggestion that GALEON and THREDDS would be
good candidates for participation in the Free and Open Source
Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) movement, initiative, project,
community, or whatever it is. I briefly looked into it one time
earlier
http://sites.google.com/site/galeonteam/Home/GALEON%20Phase2%20Main%20Page/Unidata%20OGC%20Interoperability%20Day%20Presentations
but it came up at the recent OGC TC again.
Do any of you have any experience with, thoughts on, or suggestions
regarding whether participating in FOSS4G would indeed be an
effective approach to furthering our particular -- implementation-
oriented approach to interoperability?
