Great. So has Tyler done so? Where do things stand? Does Paul's list need revision as the list of potential candidates? If you don't have attendance or minutes, how can anyone possibly know? --adrian ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Fine with that but currently it is not that obvious that the service provider directory is the correct vehicle, at least to me. But perhaps it is "just" a marketing problem (plus some cosmetics to the pages). Cheers Markus ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Adrian, Only voting is going to be noted as participation. If you, on principle, do not wish to cast a vote for a particular candidate then you should submit a ballot listing no candidates but noting you choose to abstain. The Secretary (Tyler) is responsible for keeping track of participation in cooperation with the election CRO. Great. So has Tyler done so? I will leave that to Tyler to respond to. > Where do things stand? Does Paul's list need revision as the list of potential candidates? If you don't have attendance or minutes, how can anyone possibly know? I believe this will be the 3rd year of voting since we actualized the concept of participation. So someone who fails to vote this year as well as the previous two years would be dropped from the charter member ranks.

[OSGeo-Discuss] mxd to other format (i.e. shapefile)
No luck so far looking for a converter. Basically, I want to export geometry and attributes without the styling from an Arc's mxd format to shapefile.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] mxd to other format (i.e. shapefile)
You must be confusing things here Maning, Mxd is the format that ArcGIS uses to store *mapdocuments*, while shapefiles/database geometry data/coverages/rasters are displayed on that map. If you only have the mxd you won't be able to convert anything to shapefile. You need the original data. A Mxd is much like an HTML. It provides information on how content is organized, but it's not content itself.

Hi Maning, You can try ArcMap2SLD. It convert *.mxd to SLD.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] mxd to other format (i.e. shapefile)
Maning, Reading again the post. I think my reply is wrong. Can SLD format can be convert to PostGIS then to shapefile? Noli On 8/3/10, Noli Sicad wrote: > Hi Maning, > > You can try ArcMap2SLD.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] mxd to other format (i.e. shapefile)
George, To get this right, mxd are actually just a styling file similar to Arcview's apr and avl?
