[OSGeo-Discuss] Release of pgRouting 2.3.0 pre-Release beta

2016-09-06 Thread Vicky Vergara
Hello everyone:

I am pleased to announce the pre-release of pgRouting 2.3.0-beta.

Thanks to Andrea Nardelli, and Rohith Reddy for their big effort during the
GSoC program to incorporate new functionality for you to try: Flow
algorithms and Contraction, all you can find under proposed functions.

​ I general the pre-release of pgRouting is not packaged automatically,
because it is a young project,  so please download and test locally
https://github.com/pgRouting/pgrouting/releases/tag/pgrouting-2.3.0-beta

You can find the documentation on http://docs.pgrouting.org/2.3/
en/doc/index.html

Tests have being made with:

   - Ubuntu: Postgis 2.2 for Postgres 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5
   - Windows: on 32 & 64 bits for Postgis 2.3.0dev and Postgres 9.4, 9.5,
   9.6
   - vs1013: Postgis 2.2 Postgres 9.4

Do not hesitate to open a new issue if you find a bug within the release.

Thanks in advance for testing.
pgRouting team.

This is a very good development Regina.
I hope we will have a new edition of the "PostGIS in Action" soon as well. 
For beginners like me, it is one thing to go through the "what's new" in the 
official documentation and toddle through the arcane language therein and 
another thing to read a book written in a more humane style especially with 
Regina's touch!
Specifically, I would be interested to see how the Geography data type has been 
enhanced so far!

Thank you
Faustin

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Board] [OSGeo-Conf] Conference Committee F2F meeting

2016-09-06 Thread Cameron Shorter

Venka, all,

I agree that low income economies don't have the potential to make as 
much money as high income economies. Everything is cheaper: venue hire, 
food, tickets. However, both high and low income conferences face the 
same risks (as a percentage) and as such should factor to have the same 
surplus (as a percentage) which should be returned to OSGeo.


I feel quite strongly that there will be significant (often unvoiced) 
decent from areas within the OSGeo community if OSGeo is seen to be 
favouring one community over another. (Even if the favoured community is 
very deserving).


When I was a FOSS4G chair I was surprised at just how many different 
user groups had incredibly valid reasons for getting a free pass, and 
then felt very put out if they were not granted such a pass. The problem 
is, most people don't want to pay for someone else's free pass.


On 27/08/2016 7:44 AM, Cameron Shorter wrote:
One of the strengths of successful open source communities (actually 
most volunteer communities) is their long term sustainability, which 
is achieved by each small component within the community being self 
sustaining in its own right. Extending this principle to finances of 
conferences, I suggest that every conference should aim to be 
financially sustainable. It need not aim for a huge profit, but should 
aim to break even under conservative estimates (leading to a modest 
profit under typical scenarios).


It is worth noting that small foss4g events can be run very cheaply, 
using a basic formula of a "Meetup Event" getting free space at a 
local pub, with participants buying their own beer/food.

Thanks for your notes of the meeting.

"Rest of World years should target a minimum of a break with a lower expectation of 
the share of surplus being returned to OSGeo. A larger share of any surplus should be 
reinvested into local OSGeo activities."

Regarding the note above, such special arrangement should apply
only when FOSS4G is organized in/by communities of the
Low or Lower-Middle Income Economies as defined by the World Bank and WHO [1]. 
Cost of living and PPP [2] is considerable different in
Low or Lower-Middle Income Economies and thereby the conference fee
could be considerably lower.

FOSS4G-2015 in Seoul adopted a special pricing for participants for
Low or Lower-Middle Income Economies, which could be adopted in future
conferences.

"Rest of the World" would surely not include high income countries listed in 
[1], I think.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Geo4All - Empowering academics and educators globally - requesting colleagues to share Geo4All ideas at Geography Awareness Week

2016-09-06 Thread Munich Orientation Convention
 

 

Hi Suchid, 

 

thank you for your first support, Also OGC, ICA etc. have difficulties to
understand the magnitude of my invention: it's a simple idea but it opened
more than 25 different applications, most of them have nothing to do with
maps or software. The reason of this abundance is simple: the actual system
has fundamental weak points www.volksnav.de/fundamental, that means, the
emperor is naked. I'm sure, the number of applications will increase when
students all over the world - other than today - will be motivated to be
creative.  

 

The poster www.volksnav.de/evolution shows the actual "open" situation: the
geoAwareness for locations, directions, distances and angles degenerated to
left/right commands and left/right confusions. OSGeo could easily be the
link to the new homo sapiens.   

 

According to my experience, in this special case "free and open" will have a
complete other meaning as wanted against vendors: it will be understood that
anyone can anytime define a "better" standard. A cartographer from the
Nederland divides the horizon into 10 directions and call this more
"natural" than mine because "we have 10 fingers". Do you agree with this
argument? Are you the opinion that an orientation standard should be free to
be violated?

 

Let's compare my invention with the UN open GIS logo contest: why would UN
pay for a logo? Why don't UN declare also the winner logo as free and open?
Very simple: 

1 a good and not a cost free logo is the priority

2 money is a proven motivation for creativity

3 intellectual work is respected and honored

4 misuse can be combated . 

 

So I take the liberty to express the actual situation with my own words:

"Education and GeoAwareness are important but if the inventor tries to
impede a chaos, then they aren't important"

"We want to help the visually impaired but if the inventor tries to impede a
chaos then we don't want to help them"  

 

Because of the magnitude of the invention, it's a mission impossible to
define EXACTLY my aims. I've suggested to think about a start with a
standardization of the circle "r100" www.volksnav.de/r100 but your free/open
police department impedes any dialog about benefits for the population. r100
is only 0,005% of the invention, should also be a standard for TACTILE and
imaginary maps www.volksnav.de/iphoneApps and would be my basic proposal for
the Geographic Awareness Week. 

 

Let's propose it together or have I to do it alone?

   

Henrique

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Board Nominations

2016-09-06 Thread Jorge Sanz
Dear all, after a successful FOSS4G and northern hemisphere summer
break, it's time to take the OSGeo Foundation Board Elections.

The nominations for the OSGeo Board of Directors will start tomorrow
[1]. Please take a minute to understand what the board actually
does[2]. A director should plan to spend several hours a week on OSGeo
business in order to do a good job. The current board members will
know best.

To nominate a candidate for the board please first confirm with the
person that they would like to stand for election as a Board member.
Then send an email to c...@osgeo.org CCing the candidate by 12:00 GMT
on Tuesday 20.09.2016[3] consisting of:

- name and e-mail
- current country of residence
- a paragraph describing why you think this person would make a good
Board member.

Remember that only Charter Members are eligible for a seat on the
Board and for voting but that *anybody* can *nominate* a board member.

Last year was asked, after public nomination, to write to the Discuss
mailing list some kind of manifesto about their plans for their term.
This is not mandatory at all but a good starting point for discussions
and to let the community know what are your ideas about the
Foundation.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Jorge
