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). -- Jody Garnett On 17 June 2017 at 10:47, Jody Garnett <jody.garn...@gmail.com> wrote: > Cameron has also passed on my request to brand projects with their > respective association if applicable.
