Ben,
My colleague here at USGS, Eric Wolf, lead an effort (unfortunately
unsuccessful) for us to host the next FOSS4G Conference here in the Front
Range. He is very hooked into the FOSS4G Community (especially here
locally). He is also a PhD Student at CU-Boulder (in the Department of
Geography). I have copied him on this reply.
On a separate but related note, I have a good rapport with George Percival
of OGC (Director of Interoperability Architecture) for a few years now. So
I am familiar with some of his efforts.

[ncargis] FOSS4G?
Sent by:

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?
