Re: [location-iwg] Minutes from today's LocationTech call

If you're looking at routing I highly recommend checking out
http://opentripplanner.org/
It's not really optimized to run directly on mobile devices offline right now, but could potentially be improved for that. It's a great set of code, a solid community, and a bunch of production users. It'll also be the basis of this -
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/228865951/transit-app-for-ios-6-and-beyond (which I do encourage everyone to support). OpenPlans is the parent organization of OpenGeo, and their transit group is a sister to us.

Hi Andrew,
We have a requirement over the next 1-2 years for a set of libraries to support client-side map rendering and routing in mobile/tablet devices. This would be capability that would have to run off-line on the devices.
Currently there are no open source packages that support all of this, and that have commercial-friendly licensing.
We're prepared to make some resource commitments to this initiative over the next couple of years, but need additional partners to be involved -- we're hoping we can find some friendly faces around the Eclipse table to move this forward.
Paul Spencer would be willing to provide a presentation outlining a vision for what these software packages might look like -- and perhaps we could have a discussion with other participants at the next meeting? Let us know if this would be of interest to the group.
Thanks,
Dave
