Hi, here comes my small report from the german FOSSGIS conference in Dessau.
1. Some people had the feeling that OJ was dead. These doubts I could eliminate :-) We make not the big, spectacular steps in development, but OJ is alive. One consequence can be, that we make more and better marketing for our "baby". 2. There was some questions about the WFS support in OJ. Especially the "T" letter will be more and more important for the users. I hope I have said nothing wrong, that the plugin have WFS-T support. At least that is on the wiki page. 3. A few users gave me the confirmation that a german website especially for the german speaking people is a good thing. On the www.openjump.de website you can see a photo from the OJ booth. 4. As you can see I had a rollup and flyers. If anyone need flyers or the rollup for a presentation, I can send him that. But both things are in german! 5. One question I couldn't answer. Is there a possibility to make a "Join" from an attribute to some external data? In the ArcGIS this is possible (but i have never seen any Arc produkt). For examle you have a shape file with a ID attribute column. This ID's are unique. And on the other side you have a CSV or Excel file with some metadata for the geometries in that shape file. In the external metadata file you have the same ID's to join both. But this is a 1:n relation! As an example you can imagine that you have a shape file with some buildings. Now you get a CSV/Excel file with the owners of this buildings from a external provider and you need to view or query all the owners for every building in the map. There is no problem to convert this metadata in some other formats or databases. But I see the problem to represent multiple metadata for one geometry. Any idea????? 6. And finally i met Sascha and Björn from the Intevation company. We had talked about some OJ stuff and possible or desirable works in the future. Such as improvements in the rendering or a integrated print function.
