<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Cameron, George, and Everyone<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
For what it's worth, <a href="https://2016.foss4g-na.org/" class="">FOSS4G
NA</a> runs May 2-5 in Raleigh. <a href="http://geoint2016.com/" class="">GEOINT</a> runs May 15-18 in
Orlando.<br class="">
<br class="">
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" class="">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 class="">
<br class="">
Kind regards,<br class="">
<br class="">
Andrea<br class="">

Hi George,<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
With regards to a summary of Open Source Geospatial, I suggest
looking at the OSGeo-Live presentation (with script):<br class="">
<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 class="">
It aims to be a lightening FOSS4G conference, covered in a 30 min
presentation.<br class="">
I'll leave it to you to distill further down to a one minute
slide. :)<br class="">
(You are free to copy or change the material as you see fit)<br class="">
<br class="">
Warm regards, Cameron <br class="">

Cameron,

<div class="">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.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If OSGeo sees opportunities for geospatial
application of Apache projects it would be most appropriate to
submit an abstract. </div>
<div class="">You can find the call for participation here: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp">http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp</a></div>
<div class="">Be sure to put submit your abstract with a title
of this scheme: “Geospatial Track - [your title]” </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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.</div>

<div class="">Hi George,<br class="">
Following on from your suggestion of a geospatial
track at the Apache: Big Data North<br class="">
America, I expect you will find interest from the
OSGeo community to be involved (see below).<br class="">
<br class="">
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.<br class="">
<br class="">
I suspect may be people within the OSGeo community
with valuable case studies or ideas to include in
your proposed track.<br class="">
<br class="">
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.<br class="">
<br class="">
Warm regards, Cameron Shorter<br class="">

Maybe some people from OSGeo can reach out to them
