Dear Cameron, George, and Everyone
Thank you for looping me in Cameron. You are correct, this is of
interest. Personally, I think it is great to see the geo work being done
at Apache. I have been cheering for it since I learned of it a few years
ago. And I personally think collaboration just makes sense. For those
that didn't already know about it, Mozilla is also doing some really
cool stuff.
It is particularly relevant for LocationTech's vibrant geoprocessing
projects (GeoMesa, GeoWave, GeoJinni, GeoTreillis, etc.) are based on
top of & implement spatial features for Spark, Hadoop, Accumulo, HBase, etc.
For what it's worth, FOSS4G NA <https://2016.foss4g-na.org/> runs May
2-5 in Raleigh. GEOINT <http://geoint2016.com/> runs May 15-18 in Orlando.
It goes without saying that the Apache Geo projects, and any others for
that matter, are welcome at FOSS4G NA. The CfP
<https://2016.foss4g-na.org/cfp> deadline is February 8th. Speakers who
have their talk accepted get a free full access pass. There are also
scholarships for those that need a little support.
Kind regards,
Andrea

Hi George,
I'm not sure if Andrea Ross (CCed) has been included in your
conversations to date? She coordinates LocationTech, the geospatial
arm of the Eclipse Foundation. I suspect you will find her both
interested and valuable in progressing your goals.
I do like your goals of collaborating between open source
organisations related to geospatial. This happens to be at the core of
both the OSGeo Foundation and LocationTech as well.
With regards to a summary of Open Source Geospatial, I suggest looking
at the OSGeo-Live presentation (with script):
http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/
It aims to be a lightening FOSS4G conference, covered in a 30 min
presentation.
I'll leave it to you to distill further down to a one minute slide. :)
(You are free to copy or change the material as you see fit)
Warm regards, Cameron

Cameron,
Its good to hear of your cross community interest for OSGeo. My
abstract for the geospatial track of ApacheConf suggests coordination
between open source organizations working on geospatial - based on
the use of open standards. One aim I have for the session is to
identify project coordination actions be undertaken after the conference.
If OSGeo sees opportunities for geospatial application of Apache
projects it would be most appropriate to submit an abstract.
You can find the call for participation here:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp
Be sure to put submit your abstract with a title of this scheme:
“Geospatial Track - [your title]”
In any case, lets coordinate in advance of the May conference, e.g.,
it would be good to include a slide in my presentation summarizing
the OSGeo projects.
Regards,
George

Hi George,
Following on from your suggestion of a geospatial track at the
Apache: Big Data North
America, I expect you will find interest from the OSGeo community to
be involved (see below).
Please keep us in the loop with regards to your ideas, and once
consolidated, feel free to ask us how we might want to contribute.
I suspect may be people within the OSGeo community with valuable
case studies or ideas to include in your proposed track.
Also, I suspect there would be value for Big Spatial data projects
to align with the OSGeo foundation, potentially being included as an
OSGeo incubated project, and tap into OSGeo marketing pipelines.
Warm regards, Cameron Shorter

Hi all,
I recently bumped across this article about a geospatial track which
may be organised at apachecon.
Maybe some people from OSGeo can reach out to them and see if we can
organise this together? And look for future collaboration?
