[OSGeo-Discuss] [Google Summer of Code] Deadline for filling Ideas pages - 28th of March
Hello all, and sorry for cross-posting, Mentoring organisations application time is now open, and will end by 28th of March. All OSGeo developers are invited to discuss ideas and write them down in the relevant projects' Ideas pages - see the list of 2012 Ideas here: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2012_Ideas#The_ideas_pages The whole page contains links and clarifications about Google Summer of Code program. Of course, projects that were not participating in 2012 are equally invited to create a 2013 Ideas page. It is important to fill the Ideas soon, because OSGeo application will contain a link to these Ideas pages: the more we have, the more we show we are willing to take part in GSoC 2013. Let me know if you have any questions. Best regards!

[OSGeo-Discuss] NEWS: GeoServer Graduates Incubation
(online version: http://www.osgeo.org/news/geoserver-graduation ) *** News Date: 2013-03-19 OSGeo is pleased to announce that the GeoServer project has graduated from incubation and is now a full fledged OSGeo project. Andrea Aime, a long time member of the GeoServer Project Steering Committee (PSC), has been appointed as project officer. GeoServer (http://www.geoserver.org/) is an Open Source Java Web App allowing users to publish, share and edit geospatial data. GeoServer is well known for its ease of use, excellent documentation and active development community. Designed for interoperability, GeoServer has always had a strong base in open standards and is a reference implementation of the OGC Web Feature and Web Coverage Services. It also supports other well known standards such as the Web Map and Web Processing service. GeoServer is supported by an easy-to-use web configuration and a full REST API for configuration. Graduating incubation (http://www.osgeo.org/incubator) includes fulfilling requirements for open community operation, a responsible project governance model, code provenance, and general good project operation. Graduation is the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and gives potential users and the community at large an added confidence in the viability and safety of the project. The project steering committee says, The GeoServer team is thrilled to be recognized as a full OSGEo project. There have been strong ties between the two communities with GeoServer developers being involved as charter members, volunteering at the committee level and represented in local OSGeo chapters and helping with foss4g. We are very happy to be included as part of OSGeo and a member of such an esteemed group of projects. OSGeo would also like to thank Landon Blake, Jody Garnett, and the Aust-NZ OSGeo Chapter, the Free Software Foundation and The Eclipse Foundation for their assistance during this Incubation process Congratulations to the GeoServer community! *** ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Picking a name for OSGeo Research and Education Labs Network
Cameron, I remember the OSGEO Labs discussion way back, Robert-Bray was the one who I first recall bringing up OSGEO Labs in the discussion on it. I remember this because I thought it was a really good idea at the time. Maybe he got the idea from you. http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Supporting-new-projects-tt3857964.html#a3858002 This originated out of a rather long discussion on how to promote Incubation projects at the time (2007) and it was thought that OSGeo labs was the way to go for a name. while I don't see it as having really taken off as a catch phrase related to OSGeo, I don't think I agree with hijacking the name at this point, unless the old meaning is somehow incorporated into whatever the new meaning is intended to be. Could new projects be shepherded by the EDU group(s) of folks perhaps? I do see the desire to use the name though. It does make some sense from the EDU side of the tracks. But wouldn't OSGeo EDU or OSGeo Education be a better description? OSGeo Labs seems like more of a generic name. Maybe EDU items are included under Labs as well as Incubation items? Bobb -Original Message- From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss- boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Shorter Sent: Monday, March 18, 2013 3:27 PM To: OSGeo Discussions; Suchith Anand Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Picking a name for OSGeo Research and Education Labs Network All, Suchith's OSGeo Research and Education Labs Network is becoming more and more successful, with new educational institutions being added every week or two. (Are we up to 20 to 25 Universities now?) I see the list of emails has 46 people on it. So there is discussion about: 1. Setting up an email list for all these people 2. Setting up a landing web page, something like http://labs.osgeo.org 3. Setting up a wiki page 4. Collecting names of participants, similar to http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Advocate But before doing all the above, we need to pick an abbreviated name for the OSGeo Research and Education Labs Network Ideas floated so far: * labs.osgeo.org (Probably the best name, but this name is current being used by projects which haven't started incubation yet). * Osgeo Specialist Labs * OSGeo REL - research and education labs * OSGeoEduLabs I'm personally in favour of the OSGeo Research Labs claiming the OSGeo Labs name as I believe that OSGeo Research Labs have already been using the term OSGeo Labs for quite some time in correspondence, the Research Labs are likely to become much more prominent than the current OSGeo Labs, and I know the person who originally coined the OSGeo Labs term won't be offended (as it was me who originally coined the OSGeo Labs term). I'd suggest moving the existing OSGeo Labs to OSGeo Pre- incubation (or a similar term). I suggest that we wait for up to one week, before settling on a domain name, in order to give everyone a chance to add their comments. -- Cameron Shorter Geospatial Solutions Manager Tel: +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Mob: +61 (0)419 142 254 Think Globally, Fix Locally Geospatial Solutions enhanced with Open Standards and Open Source http://www.lisasoft.com ___ 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

This is the first stable release of the 9.x (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/9.x) series made in conjunction with the GeoServer 2.3.0 (http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoServer+2.3.0) release. This release represents the successful transition of the project to a six month timed release (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Timed+Release) cycle. This release contains mostly bug fixes since 9.0-RC1 (http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.it/2013/02/geotools-90-rc1-released.html). Please see the change log (http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10270version=19068) for more details. Here is a summary of the major news in the 9.x series: Feature Collection Clean up (http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/featurecollection-cleanup.html): we have retired several methods from FeatureCollection that were only applicable for in memory feature collections. A Quality Assurance review was performed on all FeatureCollection implementations resulting in a great improvement on consistency. Thanks to Jody Garnett and Andrea Aime for this work. The Vector Grid (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Vector+grids) module has graduated from the unsupported staging area and is now included as an extension. Thanks to Micheal Bedward for championing this work. General support for complex features has been factored out into the gt-complex (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Separate+general+complex+feature+classes+from+gt-app-schema) module for reuse. FeatureCollection, FeatureIteartor and FeatureReader are Java 7 ready with support for try-with-resource syntax (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Java+7+try-with-resource+compatibility). Partial 3D data support (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Partial+3D+data+support) has been added with direct support for PostGIS, Oracle, and Property DataStore. Thanks to Andrea Aime for the initial implementation, with a follow-up funded by NTLIS (http://www.nt.gov.au/ntlis/) for Oracle support. Thanks to Niels Charlier for putting together ReferenceEnvelope3D (http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Support+for+three-dimensional+envelopes+and+bounding+box+filters) allowing us to query three-dimensional datasets. WMS client support has greatly improved with WMS 1.3.0 now enabled by default during version negotiation. Thanks to LISAsoft and the OGC for supporting this work. New OGC models have been added for WCS 2.0 (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4333) and OWS 2.0 (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4332) along with XML support (https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-4376).
