[geos-devel] Changes to the website and Github page

[Brian M Hamlin]

Hi All -

   from an ecosystem point of view, both the OSM project and recently 
Safe-Software have indicated that they no longer call GEOS directly at 
all.. in the case of OSM they now rely on the GDAL-level interfaces, for 
Simple Features constructed geometry.

  New developers may benefit from GEOS C-interface calls.. project like 
GeoPandas from python may benefit. Developer outreach is part of the 
mission of OSGeoLive linux. New GEOS developer material is welcome there 
(by some members of the PSC for OSGeoLive).

   best regards from Berkeley, Calif   --Brian M Hamlin    / MAPLABS  /  
OSGeoLive PSC
