Very interesting idea put forth by Barry. Would be great to see involvement from Local Chapters so that the Atlas could present contents other languages too.
BTW, a Japanese company received "Good Design Award" for its maps that were prepared using FOSS4G tools some years ago (See http://www.g-mark.org/award/detail.php?id=35961 in Japanese). Also, I see a whole bunch of great maps using French opendata and FOSS4G technologies at http://opendata.mapmint.com/public/france Best Venka On 2012/08/06 2:05, Barry Rowlingson wrote:
For all those interested in the atlas project, I've started up a github site: https://github.com/barryrowlingson/osgeoatlas The .tex file there isn't compilable as it stands because the included map.pdf files aren't included, they are kinda large and I didn't want to clog the repo up with them. Maybe I could. Anyway. In the downloads is a compiled pdf - it uses the latex-tufte style and looks quite lovely. If only the maps were, I just did a couple of quick print composers in Qgis as proof-of-concept. They won't make the final cut. Please add comments and ideas as issues on the github tracker.
