[Margherita Di Leo]

** Apologies for any cross posting **

Dear All,

for your info, there will be a couple of appointments of interest for FOSS
users/developers/strugglers at EGU 2014 [1]:

HS3.3 Open Source Computing in Hydrology | PICO
Session

and

ESSI2.7: Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) for Geoinformatics and
Geosciences 

The *deadline* for submissions is *16 January 2014* (13:00 CET)

As past years, there will be also Splinter session to discuss FOSS GIS
within EGU/AGU, followed by a meeting with local FOSS activists. The point
of contact for the latter is Mr Helmut Kudrnovsky (in CC).

Happy new year!

[OSGeo-Discuss] pyramides on vector data

[Jáchym Čepický]

Hi,

could anybody give me advice, whether there is some project lying
around, which would implement kind of "pyramids" on vector features?

Something, that would recognize, then bigger polygons are build out of
small polygons (countries from states, states from districts, ..)

Jáchym,

Do you mean pyramid as (sort of) semantic-driven hierarchy of objects
or pyramid as data structure simplification and generalisation
at less detailed levels?

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Topojson does this, and the wiki contains some pointers to other
projects which do (partly) the same, including mapshaper and arcgis
E00 format

Hi,

My name is Jayesh Lahori, I'm a 3rd year Computer Science Student at
International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (India)  .I'm
interested in contributing to Open Source Projects of osGeo as a part of
GSOC'14 , Any pointers on how should I go about it?

I had also put up this mail on soc mailing list, but thought more people
could help me here, so putting it up here,

My Technical skill-set:

Hi Jayesh,

It is totally upto you to decide which OSGeo project to work. There are
plenty of opportunity in every project. Here are some pointers.

1. Start by checking out (not download) source from the project repository
2. build it own your own. There is always a howto build for every project.
3. Read the project documentation and try some tutorials
4. Try to write a simple hello osgeo project application using the API
5. Prepare an idea rather than a gsoc proposal( you should start working on
idea to proposal when gosc program gets announced) as early as possible


As you are from IIIT-H and was interested to work on OSGeo project you
should talk with prof. Rajan of LSI lab and other students in the lab
participated in GSoC in past years. There were participation since 2011

Hello Jayesh.

While you are waiting for the summer (and the GSOC),
perhaps there's a role for you in helping with the
OSGeo Live efforts.
