It is hosted on a Debian GNU/Linux Etch server. It was my main project during my M.Sc. course in last semester, and I decided to do this because I wanted to do something useful for the panchayat - my first employer :) (Panchayats are the rural local authorities in India, just like Municipalities - the urban thing.) My course is just finished. I developed this thing, on a Debian GNU/Linux Etch system using GRASS GIS, PostgreSQL with PostGIS, Quantum GIS, UMN MapServer, ka-Map etc. Coded in MapScript and php. All are Free/Open Source things. I want to expand this to the entire district with some added query modules, such as shortest route to a place, maximum coverage for some areas, flood risk analysis etc, to make it a complete plan-development support system. -- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ (`'·.¸(`'·.¸ ¸.·'´)¸.·'´) «´¨`·*Jaisen.*..´¨`» (¸.·'´(¸.·'´ `'·.¸)`'·.¸) ¸.·´ ( `·.¸ `·.¸ ) ¸.·)´ (.·´ ( `v´ ) `v´ ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss > ___ > Discuss mailing list > Discuss@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -- Files attached to this email may be in ISO 26300 format (OASIS Open Document Format).

Er, but that's not the same as *group* registration: channel registration is technical (creating/registering the channel through chanserv), group registration is social (filling out paperwork with network admins) right?

Chris, Yes, these two types of registrations are clear to me. I'm asking if registeriing #osgeo- prefixed channel automatically makes it into OSGeo group, a registered group.

[OSGeo-Discuss] INSPIRE fit/gap analysis
Hi list, I want to toss up an idea with respect to INSPIRE. Most of the standards are still in draft, but I think it would be useful for the OSGEO community to know which gaps have to be filled in order to play a role in INSPIRE SDI's. This e-mail is mostly to see who is interested in both INSPIRE and the OSGEO software stack. I think it could be useful to do an ongoing FIT/GAP analysis between the INSPIRE implementing rules and the OSGEO software stack capabilities, so that as a community we know where we stand, and we can quickly make sure the software stack is ready for INSPIRE. It is an opportunity not to miss IMHO. If you are interested, can you please sign up with your name on the OSGEO Wiki INSPIRE page? http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/INSPIRE Any further discussion should be done on the OSGEO standards list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). So if you are interested and not subscribed, please go to: http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Thanks in advance.

There is a need to introduce different amendments to national laws in order to get the data out of the National Mapping Agencies. With little effort at the national level, you could get a lot of data out of the NMAs. But it needs people working on it, and to make a status of the implementation of the directive in each country. -- Benjamin Henrion FFII Brussels - +32-484-566109 - +32-2-4148403 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [Proj] RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Brief history of GIS OSS (bit offtopic?)
I'm delighted to see people documenting the OSGeo history. This sort of information is regularly embedded in presentations and it will be good to have a comprehensive history to reference. I'm hoping some historian gets inspired to collect the war stories of all the different projects, collect the motivations, the trials, what worked and what didn't, and how GeoFOSS has grown to what it is today. I reckon it would be a very good read. (Well maybe a good read for us select geeks interested in this stuff). Re Mapbuilder: I'd be more inclined to say Mapbuilder started in December 2003, when the code for the current codebase started.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Geospatial Integration Showcase
In the Australia/New Zealand chapter of OSGeo, we have been discussing the idea of a Geospatial Integration Showcase. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geospatial_Integration_Showcase The Geospatial Integration Showcase is a practical demonstration of Application and Data Interoperability which underpins FOSS4G presentations and workshops and provides a platform for future initiatives, including: * An GeoFOSS demo CD (often called Live CD) * Spatial Data Infrastructures * Testing suite programs * Open Data programs * Future conferences * Mashups and Boot Camps * Application selection decision trees (a tool for System Architects) The Integration Showcase is the sum of many long term integration projects and is structured to be significantly bigger than a one event demonstrator and all participants are strongly encouraged to think long term. -- Bart, I think your idea of an INSPIRE/OSGeo gap analysis has a lot of similar goals to the Integration Showcase and I think we have a lot to gain by working together on this. So yes, I'm interested in an OSGeo fit/gap analysis. Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS) wrote: Hi list, I want to toss up an idea with respect to INSPIRE.
