<p>Gerald,</p>
<p>Part of my funded maintenance activities on GDAL also benefit to
some of its dependencies with which I'm familiar/a committer, and
PROJ is the first one among those (15% of my time to date if my
stats are right).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m mainly a lurker on these exchanges. But
from afar it seems like there are three key underlying efforts
in the whole spatial data and analysis world – gdal, geos, and
proj. It’s really good to see cooperation (and funding!) for
the gdal and geos part of the triumvirate. Would it make sense
to see about adding proj to it?

<br>
The GDAL PSC is fully delegating these resources to the
GEOS PSC to use as it sees fit. Paul Ramsey has agreed to
be the administrative contact for the GEOS PSC, and will
coordinate the effort in regards to payment sign-off, work
task development, rate negotiation, and reporting to the
GDAL PSC. <br>

Howard<br>
<br>
PS: As a member of both PSCs, I will abstain from any
funding or resource direction votes in the GEOS PSC to
avoid any potential conflict.<br>

opportunity to directly support some of those projects,

the geometry algebra support for GDAL/OGR and many other
open source geospatial softwares including Shapely,
PostGIS, GeoPandas, MapServer, and more.
