Serve Data, Not Services - Howard Butler - Hobu, Inc
Gone are the days of buying a 2U server and sticking it in a rack in a closet next to an air conditioner. What was once organizational excess compute capacity to provide on-demand network services is now metered and measured in the cloud by the same administration that inventories the office supply cabinet. Excessive middleware is decidedly out of fashion, and concepts like Cloud Native Geospatial, with its focus on cloud optimized formats and JSON metadata to drive desktop and cloud applications alike are taking hold. Howard Butler, president of Hobu, Inc. and leader of the PDAL software project, will talk about formats, organization, federation, archive, and frustration in the process of getting data to and from the cloud. Howard Butler is the founder and president of Hobu, Inc., an open source software consultancy located in Iowa City, Iowa that focuses on point cloud data management solutions. He is an active participant in the ASPRS LAS Committee, a Project Steering Committee member of both the PROJ and GDAL open source software projects, a contributing author to the GeoJSON specification, creator of the Cloud Optimized Point Cloud format, and a past member of the OSGeo Board of Directors. With his firm, Howard leads the development of the PDAL and Entwine open source point cloud processing and organization software libraries.
