[technology-pmc] Technology PMC: CQ Vote for Geo3d into Spatial4j

["david.w.smiley@xxxxxxxxx" <david.w.smiley@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is about incorporating “geo3d” to become a part of Spatial4j — probably via just a java package within Spatial4j, and have hooks into Spatial4j’s abstractions.  Geo3d brings spherical geometry shapes (geometry existing on the surface of a sphere) to Spatial4j, without having to pretend the world is flat or projecting onto a plane.  It’s implemented with X,Y,Z geocentric coordinates and related math (fast) and only a touch of trigonometry.  The developer is a math wiz and a strong comp-sci developer.  Code like this is hard to come by!

Please look at the issue and vote.

(hmmm; I wonder who is on this PMC; where do I find out?)
