&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== GEOS ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Contact name: '''Paul Ramsey'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Key Accomplishments ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Completed all code review and administrivia necessary to complete the Incubation process. Working on achieving a requisite amount of project activity to receive Graduation.&lt;br /&gt;
* Completed the 3.1 release cycle, which brought some great performance features to the community&lt;br /&gt;
** Faster predicates&lt;br /&gt;
** Faster unions&lt;br /&gt;
** Single-sided buffering&lt;br /&gt;
** Thread-safety&lt;br /&gt;
** More bug fixes and platform support&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Areas for Improvement ===&lt;br /&gt;
* GEOS continues to struggle without sufficient maintenance resources, so activity and progress are relatively slow&lt;br /&gt;
* JTS has added some important improvements to speed and reliability of buffers and unions that would be good to port forward&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
=== Opportunities to Help ===&lt;br /&gt;
* General bug fixing and maintenance, simply learning enough of the code base to be a helpful contributor&lt;br /&gt;
* Documentation in-code remains somewhat weak. The C-API could use a complete Doxygen set&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Outlook for 2009 ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The community is not shrinking and GEOS continues to garner corporate interest&lt;br /&gt;
* The possibility of becoming the &amp;quot;GDAL of geometry&amp;quot; remains, with an associated increase in development time&lt;br /&gt;
