[OSGeo-Discuss] FW: GIS for JMT
Sorry, this was a bit big and awaited email list moderator approval. I cancelled and put the GIS Specification document at the following URL: http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/personal/blog/archive/2008/0 3/03/GIS Specification.doc http://www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/people/a.turner/personal/blog/archive/2008/ 03/03/GIS Specification.doc From: Andy Turner Sent: 03 March 2008 14:14 To: 'OSGeo Discussions' Cc: Stephen Carver; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FW: GIS for JMT Hi OSGeo Community (cc Steve, Mike), Sorry if I should have posted this elsewhere. My colleague Steve Carver has been approached by Mike Daniels from a charitable organisation (John Muir Trust) for a GIS solution to managing its data and collaborative working. I am sure that an OSGeo software stack with some consultancy and training is the best option. I asked to forward the invite to tender to this list. Is anyone interested? If so, you can contact Mike Daniels direct. There may also be some collaborators with links to the University of Leeds that might be interested in working up a proposal. Is there documentation for a similar OSGeo Use Case? Is there documentation on similar invites to tender and offered solutions? I've sent this on without finding a service registry with lists of consulting companies. I think such a thing exists, but I didn't find it with a quick search... I am interested to know what solution is put in place, but personally don't have time to contribute to such an effort right now.

Basically, providing a cheap-and-cheerful and/or off-the-peg means of John Muir Trust sharing GIS data among a small number of users at different sites (Internet linked) with minimum functionality (upload data, swithc on/off layers, zoom in/out, pan, print as JPEG/PDF). I've no idea as to what monies they have in mind but they're a charity so it won't be mega bucks. If you're interested can you contact Mike direct or pass on to those who you think might be. I'll probably going to the workshop that Mike mentions as I should (hopefully) be doing some more analytical work for them in due course on wildness mapping. Ta! Steve From: Mike Daniels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2008 11:31 To: Stephen Carver Subject: GIS for JMT Dear Steve I contacted you recently in connection with exploring GIS options for JMT. I am now keen to progress this towards the stage of having costings, timetable etc. drawn up so that I can take proposals to senior management and explore funding options (no promises given!). I therefore attach an outline of where our thinking has got to on what we require. I would appreciate your quick thoughts on: a) your interest in this work b)an outline of approximate costings and timetable c) your willingness to attend a GIS workshop hosted by us alongside rival contractors to help us finalise our decision I would very much appreciate your thoughts by the end of this week, if at all possible. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further, more info.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Quantum GIS on Nokia N810?
Hi, Has anyone ported QGIS to OS2008 running on the Nokia N810? The operating system is built from Debian and uses GTK but there is a port of QT4 that runs on the handheld (I installed a demo QT4-based program that works fine) so QGIS may be fairly easy to port. Python 2.5 is also purported to run on OS2008 but I have not succeeded in installing it. What is needed I think is a port of QGIS as is or some subset of the functionality, just enough to allow capture of points, lines and polygons and a plug-in to interface with the built-in GPS unit that could show current location on a map with possibility of saving waypoints. The objective is to develop an open source geological field mapping tool. I am prepared to fund this work. Discussions required to establish scope and cost.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Buttons
Arnulf, Thanks for the clarification on the logos. I was hoping to prompt this topic thread with my posting. Also useful would be some guidelines on how and where OSGeo logos can be used on other web pages, particularly in light of the self selection/opt in membership approach. Are all members (i.e. anyone who registers on osgeo.org) allowed to use the OSGeo logo on their project/personal/corporate web pages to help identify their interest in OSGeo? Should the logo be linked to a particular page on osgeo.org? Should the original logo be used or some modification of it?

Current OSGeo policy does not differentiate outside recognition of members and charter members so that we do not have a need for separate logos. Charter members are only required internally for votes into the board of directors. It has been discussed that the OSGeo logo should be available with an additional tag line Sponsor. It seems that the need to differentiate between graduated and incubating projects is not seen as that important. Jeroen will send a new set of logos around anytime soon. We should discuss them at the next meeting. Best regards, Arnulf.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Buttons
Dan- In general, yes, you are allowed to use the logo. There are guidelines posted on the web (not sure where..) spelling out proper usage, etc. -mpg From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Ames Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 10:10 AM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Buttons Arnulf, Thanks for the clarification on the logos.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Buttons
http://www.osgeo.org/logos See Branding Guide, and also Trademark Guidelines. I do like the idea of branded logos for members, sponsors, and supporters though. I would prefer to see the white background be given precedence on these though; the black (inverted) image should only be used where absolutely required. Jason From: Michael P.
