[OSGeo-Discuss] Trac instance for EL GIS
Hello, since last June we have put in place the Enterprise Linux GIS project (or rather interest group), using the wiki and mailing-list provided by OSGeo (many thanks for that!): http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Enterprise_Linux_GIS We have set up a stable and a testing RPM repositories in order to be able to maintain recent stable versions of FLOSS GIS software for use on the Enterprise Linux platform. The latest stable versions of GDAL, GRASS, MapServer and PostGIS are now available, thanks to contributions and testing from the mailing-list users. While working on the packaging, some minor issues are raised which cannot be fixed right away by lack of time, as well as ideas for enhancements or new packages. We thought that it would be good to track them properly and wanted to ask if we could get a Trac instance for this? Another question is whether it is possible to create other Wiki pages if this one becomes too big (esp. for howtos which tend to grow quickly). If yes, is there any particular guidance with regard to naming etc.? Thanks in advance! Mathieu ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] First time GRASS user -- how to import an img dataset?
Hello. I need to learn how to use GIS and I have chosen to do it with GRASS. My plan is to learn GIS/GRASS essentials during the next 12 months and start applying it for my research the 12 months after that. I have started reading the documentation available and playing with the sample data set. However, I would also like to start playing with a dataset for Puerto Rico (PR) and I am having problems to import it. How would I go about importing a new dataset? In particular, there is a landcover raster image in Erdas img format (prgap_landcover.img) that I would like to import from here: ftp://ftp.gap.uidaho.edu/products/Puerto_Rico/GISdata/Landcover/1_Land_cover_grid/ (1) What do I do with this img file? Do I first copy and paste it to my GIS Data Directory? If not, how do I go about telling GRASS where this file is (if I want to import it)? (2) I read about the commands to import raster Erdas/IMG files to GRASS (r.in.gdal -e in=image.img out=image). If I want to use this command, should my img file be in the GIS Data Directory first as I suggested in (1)? Where do I type this command? The GRASS Command Line window seems to open for an existing Location. (3) When do I create the location for my data? Do I do this before anything else? (4) When trying to create a location from the Location Wizard, I chose as the method Select coordinate system parameters from a list. I did this because there is another file in the above mentioned ftp folder with several parameters which seem to me the kind of information that the wizard asks (see an excerpt below). From there I chose lcc as the projection code. However, from here onwards I start having problems. For instance, I don't know whether to choose Datum with associated ellipsoid or Ellipsoid only. Also, the wizard asks me Central Parallel, First Standard Parallel, Second Standard Parallel, and I don't know how that relates to the two Standard_Parallel parameters given below and where do I get the other Parallel parameter from? I seem to be missing one. For the geodetic datum I think I have to choose nad83 and I think I will choose No transformation at the end of the wizard. Any suggestions will be very welcome. Thank you in advance. Saludos, Julio.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Any GRASS users in Puerto Rico?
Hello. I need to learn how to use GIS and I have chosen to do it with GRASS. My plan is to learn GIS/GRASS essentials during the next 12 months and start applying it for my research the 12 months after that. I started reading the available documentation and also started playing with the sample data set and am now trying (unsuccessfully) to import data for PR into GRASS. I realize that I would benefit from discussing many GRASS related issues with other users and it would be great if I could find someone to discuss with these issues face to face. There is another person that will be learning GIS/GRASS with me, so we are already a big GRASS user wannabes in this campus. Anybody knows of other GRASS users in Puerto Rico we could contact? Thank you in advance. Saludos, Julio. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] AWSTATS experts?
Slightly off topic, but regarding some OSGeo server. I'm looking at a few problems we're having running awstats and wondering if anyone with more experience than I am is lurking on this list. If you have a few minutes for me to describe the problem and/or even get you into the system to help, please drop me a note or message me on skype (aka: spatialguru). We could use a comprehensive review of our awstats setup since I'm sure it can be improved. Likewise we have some past logs and awstats db to ingest that I can't figure out how to do.
