Eclipse Foundation Members,
A proposal has been made to establish an Eclipse LocationTech Industry Working Group [1]. The goal of the LocationTech IWG will be to collaboratively define, build and maintain open source tools for location-based and geospatially-aware products and applications. IBM, Oracle, Actian and others have expressed interest in participating this industry working group.
The proposed charter [1] for this working group is available for review. If you have any comments or feedback on the proposed charter, please send them to the mailing list[2]. All Members of the Eclipse Foundation are invited to join and participate in this working group. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to the mailing list[2]. Based on the feedback and level of interest, the working group will be officially created in the Summer 2012.
Please feel free to contact myself, Andrew Ross, or the mailing[2] list if you have any questions.
