Re: [jts-dev] Two GitHub repos still
Dear All,

I'll try to help clarify the situation. Martin will likely add to this or clarify anything I might have misstated.

JTS re-licensed from LGPL to EPL+BSD (aka. the EDL license at the Eclipse Foundation) As part of this, there are a small number of people who have yet to give their permission for this re-license. I believe their approval is anticipated imminently. Once this happens, the project can progress quickly. My colleague, Thea Aldrich is assisting Martin with this.

LocationTech (aka. the Eclipse Foundation) has done exhaustive IP analysis of JTS already, since it is used by a number of other LocationTech projects. It was approved.

Also great news, the February code sprint saw the addition of 3 new committers - Jim Hughes, Jody Garnett, and Rob Emanuele. They did some great work moving the project to github, and setting up the maven build for it.

Suffice it to say, it's unfortunate to see contributions sitting. And I understand the frustration with that. I anticipate things should get sorted soon. I'm excited to see the great talent out there with interest. I encourage folks to work with Martin & the team. LocationTech and the Eclipse Foundation will support the project to help build a vibrant developer community for JTS. As many of you know, it already has a substantial adopter community, and some great ideas for its future roadmap.

Kind regards,

Andrea

Hi,

I'd like to share my concern with Landon. Pull requests accumulate on dr-jts repo, but we don't know if there will be included one day, and we don't know if someone at location tech has really time/willing to move the project to another place (and to take care of it) ? Any information is welcome. Whatever the situation is, talking about it may help to prevent the quick fracturation of the project into a multitude of incompatible forks.

For the past 8 months, these two REPOs exist:

https://github.com/locationtech/jts
  and
https://github.com/dr-jts/jts

Can we get this migration on with? If there are too many obstacles to make the import trivial than can we hide the LocationTech one until it's ready?

On a related note, there's an SF Curve project on LocationTech *and* one elsewhere:
  and
Which is confusing because neither is an explicit fork (i.e. a user coming to either wouldn't be aware of the other).  Can the GeoTrellis one be removed?  https://github.com/geotrellis/curve/issues/18
