Re: [technology-pmc] Proj4j CQ
Hey Jim,

I'm not sure "exhausted" is the right term, but I had had conversations with the author/maintainer (Martin) and he had expressed that if someone wanted to take on publishing it to maven central, or using the codebase another way, then he was good with that. We then had the conversation in the Victoria codesprint where we worked out submitting Proj4j as a LocationTech project as a way to externalize the benefit of our changes to the community. That effort is underway, but I don't think we should hold up GeoTrellis releases until the move from Proj4j to LocationTech completes.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

I believe having a CQ for Proj4J indicating that you are distributed the source code modified should be ok.  I think Eclipse legal might ask those questions for a reason; I don't think we need to get hung up on that issue.

The only question I'd ask is...  Did you exhaust the options to contribute the changes/bug fixes to any original project, etc?  I imagine you have, but just wanted to make sure you aren't forking the project into GeoTrellis without good cause.

Cheers,

Jim

Hey PMC,

We submitted a CQ for the original proj4j code (based on the codebase of the OSGeo project).

This one is a bit weird: we have actually taken this code and absorbed it into our codebase. There was no publishing of artifacts under the original project guidance, and GeoTrellis needed some fixes in order for it to work with Spark, so we took the codebase on. We have since submitted a version to be part of LocationTech, so that process is at a start; however the IP team wanted a CQ submitted for the original codebase so that they could review it's inclusion into GeoTrellis. Can I get a PMC +1 or some discussion if people object?


Thanks,
Rob
