All,

On behalf of LT, I'd like to thank Howard and the rest of the community.

We appreciate your diligence, ingenuity and flexibility.

Readers of this may find our current blog post of interest.  It mentions liblas, osgeo and the party ... er, code sprint in Torronto.

All,

I just wanted to give a sales pitch to LizardTech of their new MG4  
format and lidar compression tools that were announced today.  Head to  
<http://www.lizardtech.com/products/lidar/> to find out more  
information.  The reason I am giving them the sales pitch is that now  
that the product has been announced, and I can publicly thank  
LizardTech for their support of libLAS.  The new compression utilities  
use libLAS underneath the covers, and LizardTech supported  
improvements in libLAS to bring it up to the LAS 1.2 specification as  
well as the numerous improvements to the spatial referencing systems.

LizardTech has also been supportive in finding and providing LAS file  
samples for the sample library <http://liblas.org/samples> that seem  
to break libLAS in unexpected and peculiar ways.  These files have  
helped improved the software and the wider LAS community.

Thanks guys, we all appreciate it!

Howard
