LocationTech will be the leading community for individuals and organizations to collaborate on commercially-friendly open source software that is location aware.
 
 
The IWG is currently forming and is expected to formally launch on December 5th, 2012.
 
 
==Initiative Goals==
 
 
This group exists to enable a partnership of organizations to invest in and benefit from:
 
* High quality re-usable software components that are IP-clean and serve as reference implementation of standards

===Activities===
 
 
# Growing user communities and outreach
 
# Growing developer communities
 
# Growing research communities and encouraging innovation
 
# Growing business communities and markets
 
# Drive increased adoption of location technology, and interoperability
 
# Nurture a vibrant ecosystem for the above communities
 
 
===Expected outputs===
 
 
# A software forge & build farm including discussion forums and mailing lists
 
# Location aware open source technology projects
 
# A platform, released annually, providing reusable, modular, and "IP Clean" software components
 
# Joint marketing materials, and events

If you know others that would be interested, invite them to this page and the discussion list.
 
 
==Areas of Interest==
 
 
* Storage and processing of massive data volume
 
* Model driven design
 
* Desktop, Web, and mobile mapping
 
* Real time analysis of business critical data
 
 
==Lead projects==
 
 
One product of this IWG will be new projects. See a guide on [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Starting_A_New_Project creating a new project].
 
 
The LocationTech IWG will provide a forge (code repository, bug tracker, build farm, etc.) for related technology. The following are projects that are interested in hosting in this facility.
 
 
* uDig - [http://udig.refractions.net/  - A Desktop GIS suite & component framework]
 
* Jackpine - [http://csng.cs.toronto.edu/projects/20 a geospatial database benchmarking suite]
 
* GeoScript - [http://geoscript.org/ project adding spatial capabilities to scripting languages]
 
* GeoAPI - [http://www.geoapi.org/ GeoAPI is an abstraction library for related Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and ISO standards]
 
* Cesium - [http://cesium.agi.com/ a powerful web-based globe and map viewer implemented in JavaScript]
 
* Nunaliit - [http://nunaliit.org/ A web based framework that makes it easy to tell stories and highlight relationships between many different forms of information from a variety of sources]
 
 
We are interested in new projects. If you have some R&D that would benefit from more eyes & developers to advance it, or some useful technology you need to have but it isn't a source of competitive advantage, consider releasing it.
