| Re: [technology-pmc] Technology PMC: CQ Vote for Geo3d into Spatial4j |
(doh!; your reply slipped by my radar)Jody,Geo3d won’t be a dependency; it isn’t stand-alone. It’s a zip’ed up ball of code that I propose become a part of Spatial4j. It’ll need a bit of integration adaptation to really hook it in.I have contact with the author and we’ve crossed paths in person on occasion. This code is ASL licensed (and he has filed a CLA officially getting his employer’s permission to license it as such); there’s no issue of “permission” between the world and this code. That said, AFAIK he seems to have some agreements with his employer about where he contributes code that is essentially limited to Lucene. So he can give/donate it to Lucene — he has done so on Lucene's issue tracker. And the license permits the world to use it at this point.~ David SmileyFreelance Apache Lucene/Solr Search Consultant/DeveloperOn Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 3:25 PM, Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Further review indicates that this is not quite a project ... an attachment to a bug ticket?

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?)~ David SmileyFreelance Apache Lucene/Solr Search Consultant/Developer
