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

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

Further review indicates that this is not quite a project ... an attachment to a bug ticket? Do you have any contact with the author (like perhaps he can give us specific permission to use the code...).

I am cool with the dependency. I can never tell if I should check how the project is run, or leave that to the IP team to check out.

It does sound like a great project, would they be interested in joining LocationTech?

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?)
