<p>OSGeo welcomes pgRouting to its growing ecosystem of projects.</p>

<div class="col-sm-8">
<div class="entry-content">OSGeo is pleased to announce that
pgRouting has graduated from incubation and is now a
full-fledged OSGeo project.
<p>pgRouting is an open-source extension in the <a
class="reference external" href="https://postgis.net">PostGIS</a>
/ <a class="reference external"
href="https://www.postgresql.org">PostgreSQL</a> geospatial
database, providing geospatial routing functionality.</p>
<p>Graduating<a
href="https://www.osgeo.org/about/committees/incubation">
incubation</a> includes fulfilling requirements for open
community operation, a responsible project governance model,
code provenance, and general good project operation.
Graduation is the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and
gives potential users and the community at large an added
confidence in the viability and safety of the project.</p>
<p>The pgRouitng Steering Committee collectively recognizes this
as a big progressive step for the project.</p>
<p>pgRouting has been an active contributor and participant to
various open source initiatives inside and outside OSGeo such
as FOSS4G, OSGeo Code Sprints, OGC Code Sprints, Joint
OSGeo-OGC-ASF (Apache Software Foundation) Code Sprints, and
Google Summer of Code.</p>
<p>The pgRouitng PSC says, “<em>We are excited about the future
of the project within the OSGeo’s project ecosystem. We have
been working to have a community of developers for the
project sustainability. It is our honor to be an OSGeo
project”.</em></p>
<p>The pgRouting PSC would like to thank our mentor, Angelos
Tzotsos, and the OSGeo Incubation Committee for their
assistance during this Incubator process.</p>
<p>Congratulations to the pgRouting community!</p>
<p> <strong>About pgRouting</strong></p>
<p>pgRouting extends the <a class="reference external"
href="https://postgis.net">PostGIS</a> / <a
class="reference external" href="https://www.postgresql.org">PostgreSQL</a>
geospatial database to provide geospatial routing
functionality. It is written in C++, C and SQL.</p>
<p>It is an open source PostgreSQL extension which implements
several graph algorithms.</p>
<p>pgRouting library contains the following features:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>All Pairs Shortest Path algorithms: Floyd-Warshall and
Johnson’s Algorithm</li>
<li>Shortest Path and bi-directional algorithms: Dijkstra, A*</li>
<li>Graph components, analysis and contraction algorithms.</li>
<li>Traveling Sales Person</li>
<li>Graph components, analysis and contraction algorithms.</li>
<li>Shortest Path with turn restrictions</li>
</ul>
<p>pgRouting is able to process geospatial and non geospatial
graphs.</p>
<p>It’s processing extension execute a number of existing graph
algorithms based on reliable software and libraries. It is
written in such a way that gives the ability to hook a new
graph algorithm in a clean way including the connection code
to the database.</p>
<p>The pgRouting functions are standardized in terms of
parameter types and names, decreasing the learning curve of a
user.</p>
<p>pgRouting is very flexible with graph data input, in an inner
SQL query and output with standardized column names, so you
can process almost any kind of graph data stored in the
database.</p>
<p> <strong>About OSGeo</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://osgeo.org">Open Source Geospatial
Foundation</a> is not-for-profit organization to “<em>empower
everyone with open source geospatial</em>‘. The software
foundation directly supports projects serving as an outreach
and advocacy organization providing financial, organizational
and legal support for the open source geospatial community.</p>
<p>OSGeo works with Re:Earth, QFieldCloud, GeoCat, T-Kartor, and
other sponsors, along with our partners to foster an open
approach to software, standards, data, and education.</p>
