    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Cameron, George, and Everyone<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      For what it's worth, <a href="https://2016.foss4g-na.org/">FOSS4G
        NA</a> runs May 2-5 in Raleigh. <a
        href="http://geoint2016.com/">GEOINT</a> runs May 15-18 in
      Orlando.<br>
      <br>
      It goes without saying that the Apache Geo projects, and any
      others for that matter, are welcome at FOSS4G NA. <a
        href="https://2016.foss4g-na.org/cfp">The CfP</a> 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.<br>
      <br>
      Kind regards,<br>
      <br>

      Hi George,<br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      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.<br>
      <br>
      With regards to a summary of Open Source Geospatial, I suggest
      looking at the OSGeo-Live presentation (with script):<br>
      <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
        href="http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/">http://live.osgeo.org/en/presentation/index.html#/</a><br>
      It aims to be a lightening FOSS4G conference, covered in a 30 min
      presentation.<br>
      I'll leave it to you to distill further down to a one minute
      slide. :)<br>
