Focus areas:
High performance Computing, Mobile Applications
LocationTech's governance, based on the Eclipse governance model, balances the interests of projects and companies building products on open source.
There is a staff of 20 providing services to support the community. They provide a variety of services including IT support, release engineering, marketing, legal support, IP management, and more.
Companies often follow a path in their relationship with open source. It takes time and effort to go from casually testing open source to making open source core to the business. The services and governance model are designed to help along the way.
