[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Nomination for Nikos Alexandris
Forwarding Nikos Alexnadris nomination by Dimitris Kotzinos. Cheers Jorge Mensaje reenviado Asunto: Nomination for Nikos Alexandris Fecha: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 04:35:11 +0200 (CEST) De: Dimitris Kotzinos Para: c...@osgeo.org >> OSGeo Chief Returning Officer CC: js...@osgeo.org, Nick Ves Dear CRO and all, we would like to nominate Dr. Nikos Alexandris for becoming an OSGEO Charter Member. Nikos has been a long advocate of Open Source GIS and OSGEO [1] and has been one very active person in supporting both since 2007 (and we know him since). He actually sees OSGEO as the means to actively cultivating a technologically advanced and socially aware geospatial way of thinking and acting. He has been actively involved in pushing Open Source GIS and OSGEO in both academic and industry-oriented settings and his passion has taken him recently from Greece up to India (TERI and Kurukshetra Universities) in order to promote specifically GRASS-GIS. He has participated in community sprints for GRASS-GIS, in the translation of the OSGEO web site to Greek and has been very active in the OSGEO Greek Chapter and the Greek Open Source community in general, especially by having participated in numerous events in Greece about Open Source in general and Open Source GIS specifically and has been interviewed about this for magazines. You can find more about Nikos at [2]. We think that Nikos gathers all the required qualities specified in the OSGEO nomination pages for a charter member. Dimitris, as the founder of the Greek OSGEO Chapter, considers Nikos a valuable member of the OSGEO Greek Chapter and OSGEO in general and as OSGEO Charter Members we both think that Nikos' passion and dynamism will bring a lot of energy to OSGEO and that he carries all the necessary qualities to serve OSGEO from many different positions.

[OSGeo-Discuss] [Election 2014] Nomination for Thijs van Menen
Hi all, I forward Bart van den Eijnden nomination for Thijs van Menen for the OSGeo Charter Membership. Best Regards Jorge Mensaje original Asunto: nomination for Thijs van Menen Fecha: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:30:03 +0200 De: Bart van den Eijnden Para: c...@osgeo.org CC: Menen, Thijs van (CIV) I’d like to nominate Thijs van Menen for OSGeo charter membership. When I first started to work on a large open source geospatial project in The Netherlands in 2002/2003, Thijs was part of the government agency (Rijkswaterstaat) that did the tender for a geospatial infrastructure based on open standards. Our open source proposal got chosen, and we worked many many years on setting up the SDI and maintaining it. The project was called GeoServices, and as with many things, the project was unfortunately a bit ahead of its time. Thijs is one of the few people at government agencies that truly understands what open source is. He is very passionate about open source software development, and a few years after the inception of the project he led a team of consultants hired by the Ministry to work on the maintenance of the software as well as on applications built on top of it. He has also been a frequent attendant of FOSS4G, with attendance in Victoria, Cape Town and Denver. Some of the Denver people might remember Thijs by his frequent use of the phrase “Tik hem aan ouwe”. He was also involved in the inception of the Dutch language chapter. Through this nomination I’d also like to thank Thijs for everything he did for open source geospatial in The Netherlands. His enthusiasm really helped things move forward. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I want to believe OSGeo inspires people to do things because we think is good in a general sense (for business, for education, the merit good, fun, whatever.). Involving money on the relationship IMHO could take that intrinsic motivation out of the equation: "if I'm already paying a fee, let others do the job", "why I'm not paid if I'm doing this hard job?", etc. A membership should be related with people willing to participate with OSGeo efforts on projects, committees and local chapters. If we want to channel personal money to the foundation, I'd prefer something like an individual sponsorship program* and give that good people the credit and acknowledgment that kind of support deserves. * maybe you have money but not time to participate? i.e. I've been doing that with Red Cross for many years. But that is very different from what I see as the organizational body that has the obligation to drive the organization with direct elections or delegating to a board. That group of members should emerge from a motivated community*. * following mi example, I don't want to have any decision power on Red Cross or my labor union just because I pay an annual fee. What is more important, what do we really *need* more, an active membership or funds? Sure that both but if I have to decide between one or the other I prefer a low-profile organization with a healthy community and look for money on other places (events, sponsors, etc.) I don't see OSGeo as an association that ask for money on the first place to be a member, but as an open community where anyone with the enough time and motivation can participate and influence. Of course as others said, if a paid membership is what the current membership wants, I'll support that decision but I'm afraid we will drive off some valuable people.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G Buenos Aires 2013
I second all Adrian comments. Buenos Aires was a great venue, the organizing did an splendid job and the support of the National Mapping Agency to the event was perfect. The best talk for me was one of the mentioned by Adrian about social cartography in local communities in Colombia. It should be an honor an a reason to be trully proud for every single FOSS4G developer that the tools we build are used to help those local communities, with so many difficulties, to take the leadership on the geographical data of their location to improve their lives. Anyway, I hope this kind of events under the FOSS4G "brand" spread all over LatinoAmerica. With such an enthusiastic organization team and the support of public administrations there will be plenty of opportunities to spread the word there about free software at public and private sectors.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member nomination - Pedro-Juan Ferrer
Hi all, I want to nominate Pedro-Juan Ferrer[1] for the Charter Member election. Pedro-Juan has been really active at OSGeo and specially OSGeo Spanish Language Local Chapter (OSGeo-es) since the beginning of its activities. He is member of the Board of Directors of OSGeo-es (recently re-elected) and the Liason Officer between the LC and the Foundation, always attentive with any task required from him. So he is an experienced OSGeo'er with a good knowledge of the foundation internals and an advanced user with experience on many FOSS4G tools as his talks about OSGeo and OSGeo Live can demonstrate. Finally he is also very active at our microchapter here at Valencia[2] with talks and workshops. The Charter Membership is needed of active profiles like him, in my humble opinion he is a truly OSGeo advocate. I hope you consider my nomination. Cheers, Jorge [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Pedro-Juan_Ferrer [2] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Category:Geoinquietos_Valencia Last year I nominated him pointing to a funny video but as he wasn't elected I won't fall on the same stone again :-) -- Jorge Sanz http://es.osgeo.org ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Even I'm happy to see 4 slots for gvSIG, I'm missing some OSGeo projects on that list (GeoNetwork, MapServer, OpenLayers to name a few) and I wonder why they haven't managed to enter the GSoC this year.I know very well the effort is needed to find a mentor/student/idea so I'll suppose that is the reason, so know my question to the list. There is something from the OSGeo point of view to help them to enter the program? The OSGeo GSoC admins have done a great job, but maybe the rest of the membership (active ambassadors!) can do something to help projects to get a slot on the program in some way.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Mailing lists archived at nabble.com
Hi all, After a while without too much administration on the nabble archives I've offered myself with Mat Loskot as backup admin to update and polish the status of nabble archives. Thanks to Eli and others I've just set up a bunch of mailing lists - libLAS, PDAL and GeoMOOSE projects - Dutch and Philippines Local Chapters - Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid, Cantabria and ES_Norte Spanish microchapters (generally called "geoinquietos") So if your OSGeo list has been more or less recently created and it's not archived at nabble.com, please answer this thread, drop a line to nabble [at] osgeo [dot] org or (even better) fill a ticket at the Trac and we will be glad to help. Another point is about conference mailing lists. Eli asked about the FOSS4G Central and East Europe list to be archived but I haven't seen any other event related list archived (except the conf committee). If you think it's worth we can create a new category for events and add there the different mailing lists we could arrange around general FOSS4G, FOSS4G CEE, FOSS4G NA, etc. Waiting for comments, ideas.

Spain could have had their own LC some time ago but we haven't pushed that as far as other countries communities are not strong enough so we prefer staying "lingual" rather than "geographical" to no dilute efforts so far. That also has the difficulty of not being able to start a legal organisation as far as that would mean "settling" somewhere and most important, overcomplicating everything when we are right now not so many people.

Taking your example, and using a GUI for this database, take a look on [1] to see a nice representation of the graph neighbours of your Stockton town (witch has the unique WOEID #2500105).

My employer (Prodevelop) has been developing for the Valencian Government (Spain) a modelling software, Moskitt[1]. In fact yesterday I was talking with my colleagues about the possibility of spatial-enabling it adding the geometry type (and other things) to the metamodels. Among other features, at this time you can create a typical "alphanumeric" model with moskitt using UML notation, then transform it to ERM and then create the DDL to several databases. So the work to do is to define the spatial data type (and subtypes) and the traces to ERM and then to DDL. I would also love to see the reverse path: inspect a database schema, create the ERM and then UML models.

[OSGeo-Discuss] ES Local Chapter subdomain
Hi, I've been thinking where to place this question because it crosses around several committees so finally I've decided to ask here where anyone is :) At Spanish Language Local Chapter (OSGeo-es) we want to have an easy entry point for our community. We don't like an osgeo.es domain because this LC is not geographic, but linguistic so a domain for Spain is not desirable at this time (from the board we are working hard to get the linguistic approach). So, I ask (Board/SAC/Webcom/All) if you see any problem to create an "es" subdomain for osgeo.org that will point to our current entry at osgeo wiki[1]. We see that solution more aligned with our aims. Other LCs have their own web page (like .jp, .nl) and maybe in the future we will need one also, out of the wiki, but not at this time as it's hard to maintain an it's not in our priorities. If it's ok I'll create the SAC ticket but I would prefer a little bit of discussion here ;) [1] http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Spanish -- Jorge Gaspar Sanz Salinas Ingeniero en Geodesia y Cartografía http://www.geomaticblog.net http://oblongomirihi.wordpress.com ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] ESRI Spain conference incident
Hi All, I resend this mail to OSGeo discuss because I think is a serious incident that cannot be obviated and shows how things are getting at least in Spanish market. I write this mail on behalf of Álvaro Anguix one of the leaders of gvSIG Project (it seems he is more confident with my English than me :P). I've posted his letter in Spanish on my personal weblog[1], and I write down here more or less his thoughts. As you may know, he works for IVER, the most prominent company that supports gvSIG (aside note, I work for Prodevelop, another gvSIG supporting company). Ok, some coworkers of him went to Madrid few days ago to attend the Annual ESRI Users Conference. Because IVER has customers that use ESRI technology they, as every year, wanted to know the latest "arc-news". Obviously they registered previously and they were confirmed by the organization. Well, when they tried to register at the beginning of the conference, the Marketing Director invited them to abandon the conference. Even more, the Managing Director of ESRI Spain insisted one of the IVER people that "to talk with customers, better she should go to a café or on the street". Quite annoying and bizarre! As Alvaro says, why they have this behavior with his colleagues? Maybe they fear FOSS companies?

Of course having elected people from all over the world should be a sign that FOSS4G is spreading and OSGeo is getting more and more broader.

But I'm quite surprised because it seems that privative geosoftware is only ESRI, what about Geomedia, ERDAS, ERMapper, Smallworld... for instance IMHO, free desktop GIS is not so far from privative solutions. With nice projects like QGis/GRASS or gvSIG I think we are not far from having almost all the funcitonality any user could need for collecting, analise and output. Creating nice paper outputs for me it's really important (and current user-friendly tools are far from producing acceptable maps) but maybe there are other outputs like SVG, KML or map server configuration files that are really important as the Internet is there and almost all of use use more web maps rather than paper maps. For me, one of the most worrying lacks in FOSS4G is an ArcSDE alternative because at this time there is not way for concurrence corporative database editing. GeoServer project sees that as a long-term project in their roadmap[2][3] but if we want a powerful web-distributed editing we need it right now.

They released some weeks ago some podcasts about FOSS4G. http://podespacial.com/ Podcasts 28 to 31 are about FOSS4G, anyway all their podcasts are really very interesting!!

Before I tackle the republishing rights question, I'd like to know if there are any others out there who are hoping to translate some/all of the Journal? Tyler Hi, Maybe Spanish OSGeo community is interested about having a translated version of the journal (or some parts). I can't talk on behalf of them, of course, but as the only one OSGeo website Spanish translator, at this moment, I'm also interested on having the maximum number of documents in my language (and maybe in the future contribute to the main OSGeo journal). If Spanish list is interested, I can help with translation, but if nobody else helps me I think we will not success because it's quite big document for one translator. (for Spanish List) ¿Qué pensáis? ¿Alguien se anima? Puede ser un buen entrenamiento para el trabajo en el "Libro"...
