Hi,

I made the requested changes there :
http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/proj4/?preview=true

It's nearby the OsGeoLive docs.

Hi Jody,

I don't know if it is too late, but as we drop the Méta CRS project on the
OsgeoLive 11, may be can replace it by proj4 on the web site too.
I can help to do it (Kristian what do you think of ?).

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Hyperconverged (Is this another way of saying open architecture?)

[Julien Moquet]

Hi,

This is not the use of this mailing list !

Even though I think you're mixed up.
There is no actual link between them. But open mindness is a good way to
share new ideas, like hyperconverged architectures.

Thank you Dirk,

I was missing that part from Peter answer.

I fully understand that the solution we want to build need to respect
existing services.
And I wasn't suspect how many registry there was !

[Julien Moquet]

Hi Peter,

How open is the OGC registry ?
If data came from EPSG, it will not be really open : they never answer the
request I sent.
I think it's a human scalability problem (not really maintained).

The idea is to make an open registry.
May be it can use OGC registry, but projects might want to superseed it
when request are not taken into account.
Github offer an easy way to fork data, for free.

Are you with us so ?

Regards,
Julien.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Detect and define the coordinate system of gis data with no projection information automatically

[Julien Moquet]

Hi all,

I am agree with manfred and Luis : we can improve spatial reference data a
lot !
It is a good idea to extend it to mathematical definitions, but its sounds
like a wiki.

I propose to start checking up wikipedia's data over projection references
and mathematical models, up to the proj4's communities (I mean using the
projection issues from them). It is costless, easy to share and manage, and
may be we can get feed back faster than emailing epsg group !
And I guess, lot of people do so !

On the other hand, I learn from proj4php, that a github project could be a
good database.
As many of us see things differently, they will fork it their way.
What do you think of ?

I will tell if it is working, on spatialreference mailing list.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Proj4php community project

[Julien Moquet]

Dear OSGeo members,

As Jody tells me, I started to follow the
https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Community_Projects guide lines in order
to help proj4php become an osgeo community project.

The project is geospatial, opensource LGPL, hosted on github. The initial
source come from a translation of proj4js.

Best Regards,
Julien.
