[OSGeo-Discuss] [ANN] MapProxy - new caching proxy for geospatial data
Hello, This is a one-time post to announce the MapProxy project, an open source proxy for geospatial data. MapProxy caches, accelerates and transforms data from existing map servers. It is a middle-man between existing web map servers (like MapServer or GeoServer) and clients. All existing web and desktop GIS applications can be used, but also modern clients like OpenLayers and GoogleEarth. The project started late 2008 and is now available as Open Source. It is actively developed and supported by Omniscale and is released under the GNU AGPL License 3.0. The project is looking for developers and users. Features: - Accelerate WMS servers - Serve WMS/TMS/KML requests - Reproject data on-the-fly - Add watermarks/attribution - many more It is written in Python and should run on all major platforms. For more information, please come to http://mapproxy.org/ Thank you, Oliver -- Oliver Tonnhofer Omniscale - Dominik Helle, Oliver Tonnhofer GbR Nadorster Str. 60, 26123 Oldenburg Tel: +49(0)441/9392774-2 (Fax: 9) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Generalizing complex 3D vector polygon data
Dear list, Here's my challenge. I have 3D buildings originally in the AutoCAD format which are composed of hundreds of 2D polygons in 3D space. Is there any tool that can "generalize" 3D data? I found that GRASS GIS offers line generalization: http://grass.itc.it/gdp/html_grass64/v.generalize.html but found nothing regarding 3D generalization. My feeling is that 'GIS technology' is just not there yet. There's just no implemented algorithms to generalize complex 3D to less complex 3D data. Am I right? Since my team is heavily using FOSS4G, we're looking for a solution (if any) that would ideally be 100% FOSS4G. Thanks for any feedback, Alex -- Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Is the integration of FOSS4G and proprietary software good for FOSS4G?
Hello, I also agree to spread open source software on as many places as possible, and let the users decide based on their experience. So it seems, we all agree. Do you think a different point of view would arise if, for instance, a project like pgRouting would port to run also on top of Oracle Locator/Spatial? What would be the point of view for PostGIS project? I'm very interested in knowing PostGIS' people thoughts, so thanks in advance.

All the same to me. A frosted turd is still a turd.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Generalizing complex 3D vector polygon data
not that I know of any 3D FOSS. however I know of research in Hannover (GER) by Frank Thiemann - german only webpage: http://www.ikg.uni-hannover.de/de/forschung/projekte/3d-gebaeude-generalisierung/ and Potsdam (GER) group of Juergen Doellner: http://www.matthias-trapp.de/ http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/doellner/3dgi/index.html?L=1 so maybe look for publications of those people? stefan Alexandre Leroux wrote: Dear list, Here's my challenge.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Looking for PHP, OpenLayers GPS tracking software
Arnie, Brent, Thank you for the suggestions. I'll check out openises when I have a chance. I have coded bits and pieces of this in various apps at one time or another, but it just seems like there should be something like this available. I just got sidetracked for a few days, but I'll get back to looking into this some more. Thanks again, -Steve Arnie Shore wrote: Steve, all: I have an open source php/mysql CAD application (http://openises.sourceforge.net/tickets01.html) that's currently GMaps based, and I plan eventually to move that to OSM/OL. I expect that the tile serving cd be provided by a PHP script of rather limited complexity. Our application does some gps tracking, with sources APRS, Google's Latitude, Instamapper, Locatea, etc. You may have other sources in mind. While you're welcome to anything we have, I'll certainly be interested in your progress.
