Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] UN training material

[Maria Brovelli]

Many thanks for your precious suggestions!
Maria

Hi Maria,
I'd like to suggest that the second step in generating training 
material (after sourcing existing material) is to define a template 
and development process for UN Training material. The following list 
is based on what we have learned from building OSGeo-Live material.


Considerations:
* Structural Guidelines: What headings should be included. Should 
pictures be included, size of pictures, quality of pictures.

* Writing guidelines: What voice to use, the level of detail to go into.
* Translation guidelines: How should the documents be structured to 
allow easy translation? How do you know if a translation is up to date?

* Storage guidelines: Should it be stored in git?
* Maintenance guidelines: How often are the docs expected to be 
updated. How do you write documents such that they are timeless? How 
can people report errors or improvements in documentation? What is the 
plan for updating the documentation when an application is updated. 
How is this resourced.

* License guidelines: What license should material be published under?
* Target Audience: What level is the target audience.
* Flow between courses: Assuming students will do multiple courses, 
how to you avoid overlap between courses? What are prerequisites or 
assumed knowledge before attempting a course. How will material trace 
back to a qualification, learning goals? This leads to setting exams 
based on learning goals and material contents.
* Editorial control: Assuming you crowd source some material, will you 
have an editor on staff to ensure guidelines above to ensure quality 
and above guidelines are followed.
* Distribution format: How is documentation, sample data, and software 
to be distributed to the classroom? Note, classroom might be a MOOC 
run from someone's home. OSGeo-Live might be one way? Setting up on a 
cloud based virtual machine that people can log into is another.


Once the above has been defined, it will facilitate the OSGeo 
Community to maintain this documentation very efficiently at a very 
high level of quality.


It might be worth adding this list above into the training material 
wiki? And others may have more suggestions to add to this list.

Thanks, I have added in a few links. We will need to watch this page 
as content is added - as new content is being added based on 
sometimes incomplete earlier examples. Thus far nobody has provided 
data references for example as requested.


Maria is a point-of-contact needed? In what circumstances would 
contact be made?


Bob - can I ask you to link to training material for GeoMOOSE? This 
wiki is gathering up training material for use in an open education 
context (so something that is free to be re-mixed into an academic 
course).


Jeff - GeoNode has been added as a project - but also lacks education 
material, and a point of contact?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] UN training material

Dear Sergio I didn't mention gvSIG because the first packages they will 
be using are those in the list (this was their request). As already 
told, it doesn't mean that in next steps other packages will be used. 
Therefore if you have other material about other software put them here 
as well. But now (I mean in the next few months) we will start from 
QGIS, PostgreSQL, PostGIS, Geoserver, OpenLayers, Geonode.

Best regards.

Dear all,

the new OSGeo-conference overview wiki page has been growing rapidly. I would 
like to thank everybody who has added content to it in the last weeks. The 
number of listed conferences is already amazing and shows how much effort was 
put into OSGeo outreach over the years.

Until now the page (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Global_conferences_overview) is 
not being suitably linked and is therefore hard to find.

What would be appropriate places in the OSGeo-Wiki or -website to place links 
to this wiki page ?

Best,
Peter

That was exactly my proposal :)
We also had to try and find a decent title as having two different
workshops using portions of the same time seemed misleading and
actually contraddicted what was asked from
the organizers. Therefore I suggested to split the time giving
precedence to the OSGEO based discussion and then hold the MapStore
workshop at the end.

Well, life isn't perfect and we need to live with what we are while we
try to change things :)
I believe the solution we are proposing here is Ok (not perfect I
admit) as I believe leaves enough room for discussion
as well as as enough room for us (as in GeoSolutions) for showing a
bit of what we do.

Arnulf, I agree with your  suggestions.
Many thanks!
Maria

Def. Quota "Seven (aka Arnulf)" :


-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Folks,
I really like the idea of the round table but changed some wording to
amend the expectations for it. This was mainly to the effect of
avoiding up front misunderstanding which invariably over the past
years lead to unnecessary friction.

The whole point of INSPIRE is that there is nobody singly responsible.
It has evolved over time and through the contribution of the broadest
set of different people from different backgrounds and many are not
even involved any more. Therefore we cannot really talk to "the people
responsible for INSPIRE" - there simply are none. To avoid having one
side of the table empty I changed "members of the INSPIRE Technical
Committee" to "users involved with INSPIRE". Maybe that is too broad,
if so please change to something else.

To the same effect I changed "discussion" (which always results in one
winner and one loser) to "dialog" (which means that people listen to
each other and learn from each other).

Hope this sits well with you, otherwise feel free to revert to an
earlier version.

Please note that the Wiki had a hickup when saving two conflicting
edits, so one intermediate version is raw HTML. I tried to save the
earlier changes, mainly adding Paolo to the list of contributors.
Please recheck, if you edited in the past hour or so.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the conference.

Cheers,
Arnulf

I owe thanks to Frank for his efforts.  He stepped into the President
role after Arnulf, without any complaints (and was still probably
settling into a new job and home).  We all need to thank Frank for doing
that at such a time.

I plan to continue pushing for Open Source geospatial all across the
world.  I may not be a core developer, but I've learned that my passion
can be useful in many ways.

I am proud to represent the community of OSGeo.

has very kindly agreed to take on the role of President with the
support of the board.

I'm not going away, and will continue on the board and answering

Congratulations! Very impressive!

The new GRASS GIS Website is finally online, offering
a fresh look-and-feel for users and newcomers!

Please visit
http://grass.osgeo.org/

After several month of development relevant content of
the old Website was migrated to a content management
system. The structure was simplified and put into a more
intuitive order.

We hope you enjoy the modernized site. The web team
is happy to receive comments and especially community
donated screenshots for the gallery. Please send to the
editors.

Note that the old Website is preserved for a while at the
address http://grassold.osgeo.org . Help is welcome to
migrate remaining relevant content to the Wiki. Furthermore,
the mirror sites will be maintained as software mirror.

Enjoy,

Parliament.  Venka received a memento on behalf of the OSGeo-India Chapter.
Venka's dedication to FOSS4G and his community work around the world,
promoting open source geospatial, is second to none.  He has been
involved in OSGeo since the foundation was formed in 2006, and we are
lucky to have such a strong global voice in him.  The OSGeo foundation
wishes to thank Venka for his wonderful dedication.

Background

The Sol Katz Award for Geospatial Free and Open Source Software is
awarded annually by OSGeo to individuals who have demonstrated
leadership in the GFOSS community. Recipients of the award will have
contributed significantly through their activities to advance open
source ideals in the geospatial realm. The hope is that the award will
both acknowledge the work of community members, and pay tribute to one
of its founders, for years to come.
Sol Katz was an early pioneer of GFOSS and left behind a large body of
work in the form of applications, format specifications, and utilities.
In the early 80's, Sol assisted in the development of a public domain
GIS package called MOSS (Map Overlay and Statistical System). This
software was arguably the first open source GIS software in the world.
Sol would later go on to release and maintain PC MOSS. He was also one
of the first involved in public data translator utilities. Utilities
that he developed for converting DEMs and reading SDTS files were
contributed back to the geospatial community, and are still available
today. Sol was also a frequent contributor to many geospatial list
servers, providing much guidance to the geospatial community at large.
Sol Katz's collection of GIS utilities at the BLM is still available at
ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/. Sadly, after fighting Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
for almost a decade, Sol died April 23, 1999 in bed. His legacy will
always live on in the GFOSS world.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination period ended

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Folks,
the nomination period for new OSGeo Charter Members ended yesterday.

A big "Thank You" to all who actively contributed by nominating
candidates and supporting their nominations! Another big Thank You to
all candidates for representing their OSGeo community aspect at the
board level and for electing a dedicated board of directors.

As CRO I am very happy to say that the nomination period worked
smoothly (except that almost nobody cared to email the nomination to
the CRO address as requested... :-).

We now have 22 high level candidates [0] but only 20 open slots, a
number which I simply copied over from last year when I prepared the
schedule for 2012.

As per our "New Membership Process" [1] we can add between 10% and one
third of the existing Charter Membership, in this year this would be
13 to 42 members. My proposal to the board is to accept all 22 members
instead of running an election which would simply exclude two
potential charter members on a more or less arbitrary basis.

Therefore I defer the start of the election process for two days in
the hope that the board agrees with my proposal and we do not need to
have Charter Member elections at all.

Best regards & have a nice weekend,
Arnulf

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] First Latin American Conference of Free and Open Source GIS

[Maria Brovelli]

Dear Mauricio and All spanish local chapter members

many thanks for your nice answer.
I'm writing in English because I can't write in Spanish (sorry!!!) but
Indira will then contact you in Spanish.

I'm involved in OSGeo Edu and I teach at Politecnico di Milano (or better
at the moment  I'm a vice rector of the Como campus of Politecnico di
Milano). I had the occasion of meeting the colleagues from Escuela
Politecnica del Litoral in Milan and offered myself in help them in
organizing a Conference on Free and open Source GIS.
I'm also co-chair  of an ISPRS WG (http://www.commission4.isprs.org/wg5/)
and my WG could also help in organizing the conference.

Today I spoke with Rafael Moreno (who is from Mexico and now lives in
Denver and who organised the FOSS4G Academic track in Denver) and he is
also enthusiast about the idea of organizing a Conference in Latin America.


In my opinion the best is to join the efforts in such a way to maximise the
result.
Indira will contact you to discuss what it is better to do.
I'm very pleased if I can help. Anyway what is really important is to have
created this connection.
Many thanks!!
Cheers.
Maria

[OSGeo-Discuss] First Latin American Conference of Free and Open Source GIS

[Maria Brovelli]

Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral - Guayaquil - Ecuador
with Politecnico di Milano and ISPRS WG IV/5 (Distributed and Web-Based
Geoinformation Services and Applications)

is organizing in Guayaquil  the


*First Latin American Conference of Free and Open Source GIS - I Congreso
Latinoamericano de Aplicación de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG)
de código libre y abierto.
*
*Background of the event *
The awareness about the necessity of integrating, if not basing, the most
of environmental and territorial analyses with geography and mapping has
been growing at every administrative and governmental level. In the
meanwhile the success of application, like for instance Google Earth,
demonstrates the dramatic curiosity and active interest of people with
respect to the space in which they live. Lowering barriers to contributing,
making easier the interaction and the possibility of participation will
result in more photos, maps and other pieces of information uploaded and
therefore plays an important role in that success.
The availability of a richer information (from institutional and/or crowd
sourced data) can help decision-makers in their activity.
Free and Open Source Tools and Applications are rapidly increasing in
number and quality. Many and different actors are involved in such a kind
of process: large and small companies, professional practitioners, public
agencies, universities, research centers but also simple map lovers.
The conference aims at foster interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects
of the geospatial and free and open source domains. The conference will be
organized in a way to promote networking between the participants, to
initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the
field, to exchange research ideas and to promote national and international
collaboration.
*
Themes of the Event*
Presentations should cover aspects of the use or development of open source
GIS.
Some topics of interest:

   -   Case Studies and Application of free and open source GIS
   -   State of Development of free and open source GIS
   -   Migration from proprietary to free and open source solutions:
   problems, advantages, drawbacks


The proposed dates of the event are: *24-25 October 2012.*

Other possible co-organizers of the event are the Ecuadorian Secretary for
Risk Management and ICA (requests sent, waiting for reply).

The Organizer Committee is asking for *OSGeo support* in whichever form it
is possible.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Ecuador

[maria . brovelli]

Hi Tyler
as I'm in contact for other projects with ESPOL University in  
Guayaquil (Ecuador), I want to ask them if they are interested in  
partecipating to the Academic Network even if at the moment they have  
a very little experience with respect to OS (but they are interested  
in changing from proprietary to OS GIS).
I can try to organize (if they agree and with their help) the first  
meeting of FOS Users and Developers in Ecuador. I did it many many  
years ago in Italy and it was the start of the Italian community.


Can you please provide me the contacts we have in Ecuador?
Many thanks!

leaders and government organisations to give strategic input and  
direction for Open Source Geospatial Lab and its open source  
activities. This was based on nominations from OSGeo Board, OSGeo:UK  
community, OSGeo:Edu community and CGS to fill these positions and i  
am pleased to inform the members.

# Prof. Maria Brovelli (Politecnico di Milano, Italy)
# Phil Davis (GeoTech Center, USA)

Our aim is for developing collaboration opportunities for academia,  
industry and government organizations in open source GIS software  
and data in the UK. The lab will build up the profile of OSGeo  
activities in the UK and provide opportunities for excellent  
students to work on various OSGeo projects. We are pleased to inform  
that within this short time, some of our students have won awards  
for their excellent research carried out at the lab (For example-  
Best spatial analysis paper award at GISRUK 2011,  prestigious fully  
funded PhD scholarships etc) . We are hoping to provide more  
opportunities for staff and students to work on various open source  
projects and build collaboration opportunities in the future.

[maria . brovelli]

Dear Maxi, well done! Congratulations!
Cheers.
MAria

Def. Quota Massimiliano Cannata :


Dear list,
it is a pleasure to announce the release of GeoShield (version 0.2.1).

GeoShield is a project born to offer a centralized way to define  
security access-control to geo-services.
It acts like a proxy, intercepting all the communications between  
clients and OGC compliant services (WMS, WFS, and in future WPS, SOS).
GeoShield is able to manage users and groups, it handles  
authentication and privileges settings among groups and registered  
services. It is capable to analyse requests applying the filters set  
to the user and manipulating the response.

It is a server side security software to secure OGC services.

The interested people can find the source code and a web archive  
package (.war) ready for Tomcat:


   * http://code.google.com/p/geoshield/downloads/list

While a short installation guide is here (on the project website):

   *  
https://sites.google.com/site/geoshieldproject/documentation/installation



Because documentation is still very poor, if you have questions or  
remarks, please don't hesitate to contact us, using this discussion  
group: http://groups.google.com/group/geoshield-project

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] PAPERS OF FOSS4G 2009

[maria . brovelli]

Dear Landon
I'm in the Editorial Boarder of a journal (Applied Geomatics) and we  
are volunteers also but we try to define, before, and respect, after,  
deadlines.


In general we succeed.

In any case the most of activities of OSGeo is given by volunteers and  
therefore I can't see the conceptual difference between the Journal  
and other activities. And at the end Tyler was supposed to finalise  
the journal and he is not a volunteer.


Cheers.
Maria


Def. Quota Landon Blake :


I appreciate the concerns on the part of those that submit articles.
However, the OSGeo Journal, for example, is put together by a team of
volunteer editors.

It is hard to make publication commitments when you are working with a
team of volunteers.

Maybe we need to make this aspect of the OSGeo Journal clear to authors
that submit an article. It may not be the best article for articles that
critically depend on hard publication dates.

Dear OSGeo community,
I'm writing this mail to aknowledge the OSGeo community about a very
negative situation that happened.

As you may know, in Sydney, the selection process for the Accademic
Track session was based on the paper review by a scientific committee.

The web site, promoted that the selected papers were going to be
published by a reputed journal. For this reason several persons (at
least myself) submitted their works and could afford the costs of the
conference (my director approved the cost saying, "well if you will

have

a publication is ok..").

After more then one year, Thierry Badard, the person that take in

charge

the task to find the editor for the papers do not produced anything.

He

only send two mails in one year writing that He will come out with

news

very soon!! (still waiting).

I think that this is not positive for the FOSS4G conference and the
accademic community that work with OSGeo project.

But, apart of this acknowledge, with this e-mail I formally ask that

my

paper is retired from any future pubblication, so that I can try on
myself to submit this paper to another journal.

I just would like to remind that writing paper is time expensive and
that young scientists needs publication and counted on these too, and
that if someone is not able to perform a task should simply not take

in

charge the responsibility.

Regards,
Massimiliano


Massimiliano,

I agree. Papers submitted to journals should be published in a timely
manner.

Publishers should be forthright with authors and provide clear
publication
time lines PRIOR to accepting articles.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] What GeoSpatial Open Source Software do Surveyors use?

[maria . brovelli]

Hi Cameron
Def. Quota Cameron Shorter :


Thank you Marina,
That is a good example.
To be complete, could you also answer:



* What would be the proprietary equivalent software you would use?


to filter the LiDAr point cloud the most used software is  Terrasolid  
Terrascan
(http://www.3dlasermapping.com/en/airborne/software/terrascan.htm)  
which is a very powefull tool.





* Why did you decide to use GRASS instead of proprietary software?
(Hopefully more than "it was cheaper")



because we developed original algorithms for filtering.
In any case filtering LiDAR data with a high accuracy level is quite  
impossible if you decide to simply use  an authomatic procedure. Our  
method can be an alternative to Terrascan (being the algorithms  
completely different from those implemented in Terrascan) to verify  
the authomatic detection of  terrain points.





* It seems you are officiated with a University? Industry is more  
convinced by case studies that come out of industry, as universities  
are often associated with "smart geeks, who have a high tollerance  
to things going wrong because they can fix it themselves". Is there  
a non-education affilition you can draw upon? Did you do this work  
for a governement department or similar?


No, I work at Politecnico di Milano (so, University) and the  
development of such tools has been made in the frame of a national  
(italian) research project.


Cheers.
Maria
