Gerald,
Part of my funded maintenance activities on GDAL also benefit to some of
its dependencies with which I'm familiar/a committer, and PROJ is the
first one among those (15% of my time to date if my stats are right).

I’m mainly a lurker on these exchanges. But from afar it seems like
there are three key underlying efforts in the whole spatial data and
analysis world – gdal, geos, and proj. It’s really good to see
cooperation (and funding!) for the gdal and geos part of the
triumvirate. Would it make sense to see about adding proj to it?

Thank you, all. I'm honored by your support.
Please don't hesitate to open issues on the GEOS GitHub page to share
any ideas you have about how GEOS can better support GDAL and friends.

The GDAL PSC is fully delegating these resources to the GEOS PSC
to use as it sees fit. Paul Ramsey has agreed to be the
administrative contact for the GEOS PSC, and will coordinate the
effort in regards to payment sign-off, work task development, rate
negotiation, and reporting to the GDAL PSC.

PS: As a member of both PSCs, I will abstain from any funding or
resource direction votes in the GEOS PSC to avoid any potential
conflict.

provides all of the geometry algebra support for GDAL/OGR and many
other open source geospatial softwares including Shapely, PostGIS,
GeoPandas, MapServer, and more.

coordinate dispersement as directed by the GEOS PSC and NumFocus
