[OSGeo-Discuss] geospatial @ apache foundation

[Andrea Ross]

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
