Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-Conf] Code of Conduct in Real Case
Hi Sanghee, thanks for bringing this into the open. There are a lot of strong feelings/opinions on this subject, which as a strong community we will work through. The Dali painting seems innocent. The girl band photo, lacking a lot of context, says to me come to South Korea for the pretty ladies. That is obviously not your intended message. If you had a montage of other artists from the K-Pop scene (boy-bands, the gangman style guy, etc, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_in_South_Korean_music) it would make your point in a completely non-controversial way. There's a lot of cool culture going on! Keep your head down and plan the best conference ever. We are all on your side to make it successful. The rest of us will *slowly* work our way through the best way to increase diversity and implement our new CoC. :-) Cheers, Percy On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 3:22 AM, Sanghee Shin shs...@gaia3d.com wrote: Dear All, It’s now time to apply OSGeo CoC(Code of Conduct)[0] in real case. I was asked to remove a few slides from my presentation 7 Reasons why you should come to FOSS4G 2015 Seoul”[1], which is at the main page of FOSS4G Seoul, as being possibly offensive to women. Specifically to say, slide #6 (nude female in painting) and slide #20 (row of female models) are those controversial ones. I refused this asking immediately because I don’t believe my presentation breach the OSGeo CoC and I don’t agree with that view. However since this is not the first time asking me to remove those slides from my presentation and OSGeo now have CoC, I think we’d better discuss this issue more openly to reach conclusions. I might be wrong and I’d like to hear other people’s opinion on this from all around the world. Also I expect Conference Committee’s input as well, because this is the matter of OSGeo conference. I’m open to remove/amend/keep those slides after hearing other people’s opinions on this. Also I believe it’ll be a great chance for OSGeo to learn how to apply CoC in real cases. *Sidenote for defending myself: - Slide #6 is the part of Salvador Dali’s well known painting named “Lincoln in Dalivision”[2] - Slide #20 is the picture of famous girl group, Girls’ Generation(SNSD)[3], which I believe as symbolic icon of wide spread of Korean culture(K-Culture) in/around Asia.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OsGeo representative in the Boulder, CO area... GeoScience IT/CS/FOSS Assembly Workshop (Steve Richard)
Hi Steve, I'll be attending on Thurs/Fri, looking forward to seeing you again!

I'm very interested in more awareness of OsGeo software in the academic community, especially so that the community starts building on existing projects more often.

[OSGeo-Discuss] re: question
Our local open source gis (PDX-OSGEO) group partners with a regional conference (GIS in Action) each year to supply an open source track in the program. The last two years we've hosted a open source GIS desktop smackdown, which is quite popular and fun. The last two years gvSig and Quantum have each won one year. gvSig + Sextante pretty much looks like it will do anything! get the Oxford Archaeology version... Quantum is great, it has tons of plugins, and ties into GRASS. I like the interface a lot, and I've used it for teaching for four years. If you have windows, get the OSGEO4WIN installer and it will set it up all nice for you On Sun, Nov 27, 2011 at 10:31 PM, Tilottama Ghosh waggyma...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I have been using ArcGIS for all my projects for over four years.

[OSGeo-Discuss] nominating Eli Adam
I'd like to nominate Eli Adam to be a charter member. Eli has been active in the OSGEO in many ways, including the Journal, Marketing, and a few others that I wasn't even aware of until recently. He has been absolutely instrumental in getting our local chapter, PDX-OSGEO (Oregon, SW-Washington area) into incubation status at OSGEO, and generally plays a leadership role. He also actively participates in several open source gis projects, and works for municipal government bringing open source solutions as often as possible/practical.

[OSGeo-Discuss] weave release
I'm happy to announce that a new open source interactive data visualization tool for the web is available. It's called Weave, and is currently in beta. It requires a java servlet engine on the server, and flash in the client. I am using it to serve up data for the Portland region, as I've been lucky enough to participate in the pre-beta testing. What's really cool is the interactivity between the graphs, data tables, legend and map. It's all linked up. Plus time animations for map data! Other regional indicator projects are also using it, and we anticipate a big rollout in the Fall. Since it's beta, don't expect a lot of support yet...

Hmmm, thanks for that link Cameron, but that's not what I'm remembering! :-) I specifically remember it being related to the Quebec FOSS4G-NA... Can anyone else help me with this? Alternatively, should we start a wiki page on OSGEO.org that specifies the capabilities that desktop GIS have/should have?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] web mapping package
John, have you thought about just using OpenLayers with Mapserver, just modify one of the existing examples to point to your mapserver cgi and you should be up and running in less than an hour or so... It also integrates well with TMS for raster, and WMS for other...

Yes, GeoMoose does seem impressive for what it can do out of the box. I noticed there is a GeoMoose mailing list and will likely signup for that. Quick question though: can the GeoMoose interface directly display png tiles (e.g., output from gdal2tiles/maptiler) or do rasters need to go through mapserver first? (I have some imagery and openstreetmap data I think would be best served through TMS tiles rather than mapserver raster data sources.) - John -- David Percy Geospatial Data Manager Geology Department Portland State University http://gisgeek.pdx.edu 503-725-3373 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
