Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] Congratulations and Future collaborations - Board2Board

[Mark Iliffe]

Dear Miriam and OSGeo Friends,

Firstly, I want to make it very clear that I offer these thoughts on a personal 
basis and hold zero position of leadership in the OSGeo apparatus, bar charter 
membership and membership of the Conference Committee :-)

That being said… Congratulations on your election!! I believe that yours and 
HOT’s success in your ‘audacious’ goals will ultimately bring a new generation 
of mappers to the fore! In the coming years, I truly hope that we collectively 
can deliver on the promise that, hopefully, we started to collectively define 
at FOSS4G 2018 in Dar es Salaam. 

Your proposal to convene a "Board to Board" is a very interesting one, 
especially as we have unique challenge in front us; I hope that it is an event 
that it would be possible to participate as an observer :-). Wishing you the 
very best in your new role and really hope that we can bring the communities 
closer together :-)

Best,

Mark

Hi Mateusz,

We do plan to fork Mapbox GL Native. It's not our initial focus, and we don't 
have the resources to manage it just yet, but it's definitely in the works.

MapTiler is already working on a fork they plan to release (towards the end of 
this or early next year), so for the moment, that will be the "official" fork, 
but if we get community interest, MapTiler has indicated they would be willing 
to move it to the MapLibre project, if it makes sense. No guarantee it moves to 
MapLibre yet, but definitely that there will be an active fork going forward.

Stadia is very interested in maintaining it, as are multiple other participants 
in MapLibre.

As to the other related projects, we aren't sure yet. We'll fork what 
mapbox-gl-js needs, but I think the plan is to do it on a case-by-case basis 
for now.

Best,
Luke

I see.

I'm late to the party and still making sense of what is the current
status of the parts of the Mapbox GL ecosystem.

Thanks
