Iowa City, IA

I operate an open source geospatial consultancy called Hobu, Inc that focuses on LiDAR and geospatial data management. Our day job includes PDAL, Entwine, and GDAL, but we also work on PROJ, laz-perf, libspatialindex, Rtree, laspy, mgrs, and ept-tools.

Your sponsorship dollars will support us to continue public development and maintenance of these important open source projects.

@hobu

GitHub sponsorship will demonstrate the impact and reach of our software and provide us some resources to sustain the maintenance and activity we devote to these tools.
