[OSGeo-Discuss] geotagging analog photos

2016-09-19 Thread P Kishor

Background: a colleague has a pretty incredible collection of analog photos 
(prints and slides) from various expeditions in Nepal. These are invaluable 
photos because they offer a time-series view (repeated expeditions to the same 
locations over many years) at a very high resolution. 

Problem: there is no geolocation for these photos—where the photographer was 
standing and which way he was looking when he took these photos.

Objective: Scan the photos and geolocate them, then pin them on a map of the 
region.

For geocoding them:

- “fly” around on Google Earth/Maps trying to recognize the terrain from the 
photo;

- use programs such as [Hey What’s That](http://www.heywhatsthat.com);

- construct a crowdsourcing application and get everyone and anyone involved.

I ask you, are there other solutions/approaches that come to your 
geospatial-hive-mind ?

2016-09-19 Thread Regina Obe

For those who'd like a chance to test out pgRouting 2.3.0rc1 and PostGIS
2.3.0rc1 before final release, 
We've created installers and binary packages for PostgreSQL 9.6:

These are here and start with prefix - postgis-pg96-bundle

http://winnie.postgis.net/download/windows/pg96/buildbot/

Make sure to use the appropriate package for your PostgresQL (32/64-bit)
version.
While we don't have installers for 9.5 and 9.4 yet for PostGIS 2.3.0rc1
Bundle, you can find binary zip
In respective folders:

http://postgis.net/windows_downloads/

(these will start with postgis-pg(versionnum)-bundle-2.3.0rc1*  (the w64 is
for 64bit PostgreSQL and the w32 is for 32-bit PostgreSQL).

The bundles contain the following goodies:

PostGIS 2.3.0rc1 (with SFCGAL 1.3.0, GDAL 2.1.1, GEOS 3.5.0, proj 4.9.1, all
PostGIS packaged extensions)

Hi all,

I also want to support the nomination of Dirk Frigne. I think Dirk has been
one of the most active board members (eg foundation of the European
chapter) and has been pushing OSGeo to grow even outside our comfort zone,
eg by organising an OSGeo session at the Geospatial World Forum.

Kind Regards,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2016] Nomination for OSGeo Board: Marc Vloemans

2016-09-19 Thread Jeroen Ticheler

I also second the nomination of Marc! I know Marc for almost ten years now and 
he has always been pushing open source geospatial software with great 
enthusiasm and energy. Especially in The Netherlands, but in the last years 
also more and more at an international level. It is great to see him stand for 
election to the osgeo board now and I'm convinced he'll bring lots of new ideas 
and energy with him. With his  business and marketing background he could well 
be the person to give open source geospatial software an extra boost as a solid 
commercial alternative to proprietary software. 
Cheers,
Jeroen

Hello,

I would like to nominate Dirk Frigne (dirk.fri...@geosparc.com [1])
from
 Belgium as a board member.

Dirk has entered the Board recently and has since worked hard on
 advancing OSGeo interests and on pushing an agenda of
 professionalizing OSGeo as an organisation. He was one of the
 co-founders of OSGeo.be in Belgium and has been one of the leaders 
of
 the OSGeo-EU initiative which led to the creation of this new 
chapter
 and which hopefully will allow breaking the stronghold of 
proprietary

 software in EU institutions and allow the integration of more foss4g
in
 European initiatives and programmes, by federating European actors
 into networks.

He has a strong business perspective and thus ensures a voice for all
 the small SMEs active in foss4g.

I feel that he has only just begun and that at his current rate of
 pouring energy into OSGeo he will bring a lot to the community if he
 is allowed to continue in the board.

Moritz

Jeff would be a great asset to the OSGeo board. I’ve always
enjoyed working with him, very professional and energetic, with a
good vision. He has what it takes to be on the board for sure.

I am really glad that Jeff is accepting the nomination. I know him
since many years now, and we worked closely on a lot of different
projects. He has an outstanding knowledge of OSGeo projects and
its community, literally endless energies, a huge commitment to
the open source movement, and a great attitude to help others.
As remembered by Jody he contributed a great part of his spare
time in the last few years for volunteering with civic hacking
initiatives.

I think he would represent without doubt an awesome asset for
OSGeo.

I would like to nominate Jeffrey Johnson for a position on the
OSGEO board. Jeffrey is an extremely energetic and active
proponent of FOSSGIS. Among other things, Jeff is co-founder
of the US QGIS Users Group and co-maintainer of the GeoNode
project. His friendly enthusiastic approach and desire to
marry business interests with his passion of FOSS GIS will be
a great asset for OSGEO. I believe that as an OSGEO board
member, Jeff will exert a positive influence on how the OSGEO
project is managed and perceived by members of the public at
large.

I have made contact with Jeffrey prior to sending this email
and he is happy to accept my nomination.

Regards

Tim

+1 from me for Marc Vloemans too

I know, that Marc thinks different - which gives us the chance, to 
involve new faces into an even improved strategy of OSGeo.

  CRO 2016


 Forwarded Message 

I would like to nominate Marc Vloemans for the Board of Directors of 
the

OSGeo.org foundation.

I know Marc now for approximately 10 years. The first years simply 
as
fellow-Dutchmen working in spatial IT in The Netherlands. But since 
Marc
joined the Board of Directors of the Dutch Local Chapter "OSgeo.nl" 
in 2015,
and since we both were members of the Local Organizing Committee of 
FOSS4G
in Bonn this year, I have worked with Marc more closely than ever 
before.


I guess a  lot of you (the participants of FOSS4G) can't have missed 
Marc
since he was the central person in manning the OSGeo.org booth at 
FOSS4G.


He has a broad management experience in "spreading the open source 
word" in
both commercial and public organizations, not just in Europe but 
also in
other continents. But his organizational experience is not tied to 
just our

well-known FOSS4G ecosystem.

Therefore I think Marc can build bridges to other organisations and
ecosystems, and thus bring OSgeo.org a step further in its maturity.

And besides that, I know Marc as someone you can have a good 
beer/talk &

laugh with!

Kind regards,

Gert-Jan
