At the MySQL
UC, I went to a
talk on MySQL for Geospatial applications, as for those of who know me and have read my blog before, you know that this is a hot topic for me! I will try to drive this a bit more, more specifically, getting the "real" MySQL functions for
Geospatial applications, that currently only exists in a
MySQL Preview release, and have them firmly in the MySQL GA version. This will happen eventually, and we need to make sure sure it happens. The current preview release is maintained and updated, so it's not that far behind the main server, and the
GIS functions themselves are stable enough.
If you have an interest in this, let me know. I will try to organize some kind of community
around this somehow, at least that is my plan, but first, I want to know who you are. If you have a commercial project, then that is even better, as a commercial project might help get even more drive here. But I am interested in any project. And if you have tools, ideas, code or requirements, let me know and I'll try to organize.
Drop me an email at anders@mysql.com or just comment here and watch this space for more info.
