Today I helped Brian resurrect it's public face, website in progress, but code as it stands is now available on github in anticipation of merges, pull requests and contributors. https://github.com/OSGeo/tilecache You guys are heroes.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2014] Nomination for Iván Sánchez
Wat. Why is he not a member of OSGeo already? Thanks Iván for the musicals. Also the software. Seconded!

He is well known by usual FOSS4G attendants by his funny musicals (i.e. [3]) but Iván is much much more than a passionate geonerd. He is one of the main promoters of Open Data and OpenStreetMap in Spain (in fact he's currently the -exiled- president of the OSM.es association); he was for a period member of the Boards of Directors of the OSM Foundation and has leaded many activities around OSM and Open Data in Spain. He usually presents FOSS4G projects on conferences and is also well remembered by the Cake Test for Open Data (specially when he brings cakes to smaller-than-FOSS4G conferences). Iván is a great friend and I'm sure you'll agree he deserves joining the Charter Membership.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] any spatial databases for high performance geo-computing
Two options for distributed spatial databasing, based on Solr's spatial types: ElasticSearch: http://www.elasticsearchtutorial.com/spatial-search-tutorial.html Riak: http://www.christopherbiscardi.com/2014/02/07/geospatial-indexing-with-riak-search-2-0-yokozunasolr/ I've had great success with ElasticSearch and spatial search, but not in a clustered configuration. Riak is designed from the ground up to be a distributed database, but its Solr support is quite new and still in beta. Neither one support particularly complex geometric operations AFAIK, so YMMV. Good luck!

In some high performance computing scenarios, data size tends to be huge, and a bunch of computer clusters work together with high throughput and tense computation. sometimes we use parallel filesystems like lustre, gfs, hdfs to handle specific problems but what if a spatial database? I explored some of postgresql cluster solutions, such as streaming replication, pgpool, slony and so on. I think most of them are designed for failover, and they might not be able to stand up with the huge data size and high performance demands. the case is quite alike in oracle and db2 spatial, i think. so any suggestions for projects aiming to build a distributed and parallel spatial database running on a cluster?
