[location-iwg] Areas of interest - Jody Garnett
|
They include:
- exchanging location data between systems, reference
implementation of standards, new standards
- processing large amounts of data, doing innovative things with
location data and hadoop, using GPU & vector capable
processors to process massive amounts of data quickly
- bringing location more into big data & enterprise IT,
driving increased adoption
I'd like to plan for an inaugural conference call between us in
the coming weeks. To help enable this, if you would, please take a
moment to say hello. As a guide, perhaps briefly describe your
role, interest in the group, and perhaps if you might be able to
make it to a face to face meeting at the Location
Intelligence conference in May?
Hello!
Thanks for the welcome Andrew:
The location intelligence conference is on the wrong side of the globe for me so I would not be able to attend a face to face meeting.
I work at LISAsoft out of the Sydney office; currently on assignment in Brisbane (a bit further north). LISAsoft is a vendor neutral consulting company; focused on standards which exposes them to a number of open source projects at the request of our customers.
However I am signed up to this email list under my own steam - as such my involvement with the open source geospatial foundation and OGC standards body is probably more of interest. Both of which are vendor neutral.
Professionally I am a "community" leader of a number of projects having gotten in on the ground level ten years ago:
- GeoTools - an LGPL library which includes java support for a number of standards
- GeoServer - a web server supporting a number of OGC standards (web map service, web feature s service, web coverage service … with the start of web processing service support).
- uDig - an Eclipse RCP client making use of the GeoTools library to offer a platform for Desktop GIS solutions.I believe one of the earliest RCP apps; first presented in 2005 at OOPSLA.
As for "Area of Interest": despite the mention of standards above; I am a big fan of getting the job done. I mostly got involved with standards as easy way to address interoperability between open source projects.
And once again thanks for setting this up,
Jody Garnett
