Editor's Note

Welcome to the December edition of the Eclipse newsletter!

This month we've dedicated the newsletter to LocationTech, an Eclipse Foundation Working Group developing advanced location-aware technologies. With a variety of members and contributors collaborating on opensource, geospatial technologies, LocationTech is home to some big development tools and Geospatial Data processing and visualization components.

Here are this month's articles:
➜ Cloud-Native Geo-Indexing with LocationTech GeoMesa
➜ Cloud-Native Geospatial technologies: COG, STAC, and the future of GeoTrellis
➜ RasterFrames: Enabling DataFrame-Based Analysis of Big Spatiotemporal Raster Data
➜ GeoWave 1.0 - Scalable Retrieval and Analysis to Massive Spatial Datasets
➜ The JTS TestBuilder - a Multitool for Geometry

In these articles, learn to scale LocationTech Intelligence with Cloud-Native technologies and LocationTech GeoMesa. Read how to enable geospatial technology for cloud computing infrastructure with LocationTech Geotrellis. Check out LocationTech JTS TestBuilder, a full-featured multitool for working with geometry. Learn about LocationTech GeoWave, an open source software library that connects the scalability of distributed computing frameworks. Finally, see how LocationTech RasterFrames takes the Spark SQL DataFrame and extends it to support standard EO operations!

Relax, read, and enjoy!

P.S. Happy holidays to all of our readers! We will see you in the new year!
