[Live-demo] recognizing software foundations and associations

[Jody Garnett]

I also acknowledge that I am on the steering committee of LocationTech.
Marc has encouraged LocationTech projects (such as JTS, Spatial4J, uDig) to
take part in OSGeo Live. I was also not sure if there is a way to list the
various cloud processing technologies - which are an important part of our
larger open source spatial ecosystem - but understandably hard to demo
offline.

If you have any questions on the relationship between LocationTech and
OSGeo please speak with Michael Smith (who is the OSGeo representative with
LocationTech).
