Re: [Qgis-user] How to create a local (LAN) plugin repository
It's simple to set up a repo on your network. First create an XML file that
describes your plugin(s) and the download location. Here is an example:
Run Python scripts
0.71
1.8
scriptrunner.zip
Gary Sherman
http://geoapt.com/qgis_plugins/scriptrunner.zip
gsherman
2013-03-16
None
True
Put this on your web server somewhere, then make sure you put the plugin
package in the download_url location.
Last step is to add your repo to the plugin installer, using the URL to
your plugins.xml.
Please consider contributing any plugins you create that may have broader
interest to the the community.
Thanks,
-gary

[Qgis-user] New Gold Sponsor for QGIS
QGIS Gains a Gold Sponsor The Quantum GIS (QGIS) project is happy to announce that the Asia Air Survey Co., Ltd (AAS), a Japanese international consulting company, has become a Gold Sponsor. AAS has committed to providing 9,000 EUR (~ $11,000 US) each of three years, beginning in November 2012. The AAS sponsorship is yet another indication that QGIS is a mature and stable project which continues to provide innovative open source GIS software. The QGIS Project Steering Committee (PSC) wishes to thank AAS for their continuing commitment. These funds will help further the development of QGIS, in part by allowing face to face developer meetings and code sprints (also known as hackfests). The QGIS project has always relied on volunteers and community involvement. If your organization would like to become a sponsor, please contact the Finances and Marketing Manager: cavallini[at]faunalia.it. For more information on sponsorship levels, please see the QGIS Sponsorship page (http://www.qgis.org/en/sponsorship.html). ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

The forum would have closed a year ago if I had not kept it running on my server. I think there is a large gap between the developer and user community with regard to support methods. Some people relied on the forum solely for support. Others think our support mechanisms are fragmented and strongly dislike forums.

As I've been doing git-svn for postgis [1] and geos [2] too I wonder how do you plan to import changes people submit to other git repo. Wouldn't all those commits need to be re-written for submission to SVN ? I mean, in case you'll ever use submitted changes, the public repositories used for requesting the pull _from_ would need to be rewritten to be in sync with git-svn, resulting in a mess. Or am I missing something ? (I'd love to be missing something ) The GitHub repo is in sync with the QGIS svn repo. We can pull changes down to my local repo (it is able to pull/push from/to GitHub and also SVN). So to accept a contribution, I would branch my local copy, pull the changes, test, and merge back into master. Then use git-svn to dcommit the changes into the centralized QGIS repo. Change get pushed back to GitHub. -gary [1] https://github.com/strk/postgis [2] https://github.com/strk/geos --strk; () Free GIS& Flash consultant/developer /\ http://strk.keybit.net/services.html -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Gary Sherman Chair, QGIS Project Steering Committee -Desktop GIS Book: *http://desktopgisbook.com -Geospatial Consulting & Hosting *http://geoapt.com "We work virtually everywhere" -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] Stack Exchange Q&A site proposal: Geographic Information Systems
Hi Qgis community: I don't know if you have seen this proposal but please take a look and consider committing to it if you haven't already. I think it will be a great resource. I'm supporting a proposal to create a new Q&A website for programmers, DBAs, Cartographers, Geographers and anyone interested in GIS professionally. It's built on the same software as stackoverflow.com, a hugely popular site where over seven million programmers help each other with difficult programming problems. On Stack Overflow the audience votes for the best answer, so the answer you want is usually right at the top, not on page five. I'm hoping that a site for programmers, DBAs, Cartographers, Geographers and anyone interested in GIS professionally would have the same kind of network effect and turn into an amazing resource. The proposal process is going on here: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1425/geographic-information-systems?referrer=70Hv67UKFvp3hJ0vc5L2Fg2 If you're interested in participating, go to that URL and click on the green "Commit" button.

[Qgis-user] Interest announcement for QGIS meeting
[Forgive the cross-posting] As you may know, the QGIS project has had several developer meetings thus far, with one coming up in March[1]. The purpose of this email is to gauge interest in a meeting of developers (Python and C++), users, and all other interested parties to take place in June or July. In order to facilitate organization and planning, I would like to hold the meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. Agenda items for the meeting might include: * Presentation of projects using or leveraging QGIS * New things you are working on * Roadmap discussion for version 1.9/2.0 * Hacking on core or plugins * Training The meeting would be held for two or three days mid-week. I realize that Alaska is far away for most/many of you, however unique opportunities are available to combine the meeting with some excellent tourist activities. If you are interested in such a meeting please let me know (privately or to the list). If sufficient interest is expressed we will look into finding sponsors and begin working on details for a time and venue.

[Qgis-user] Sponsorship Opportunity
Greetings, As you know QGIS has been developed primarily by a wide ranging group of volunteers, including developers, translators, web maintainers, artists, and documentation writers. One of the most beneficial events has been the face-to-face developer meetings. These events provide a venue in which major issues can be sorted out and new features planned and prototyped. The developer meetings thus far have been very productive in advancing QGIS. We are currently planning a developer meeting in Pisa in the spring of 2010. The sponsorship goal for the event is 10,500 Euro ($15,000 US). This will allow us to bring 15 developers together. Please consider donating for this worthwhile event. You can find information on the sponsorship program, its benefits, and the developer meeting at http://qgis.org/en/sponsorship.html.

But even then there were plans for Windows and the choice of the underlying toolkit(s) reflects that intention. QGIS has provided a Windows version since 0.6 (2004). Supporting Windows is a big job, just as is supporting OS X and multiple flavors of Linux. All we can do as a developer community is to rely on user feedback and support to improve QGIS on all platforms. We also work within the constraints of limited developer resources and volunteer time. We want a solid working version on Windows. I think we have made great strides in that direction based on user reports. Sure there are issues, just as there are with all platforms. Given input and support from the user community, I am certain we can accomplish the tasks before us. -gary -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Gary Sherman Chair, QGIS Project Steering Committee -Desktop GIS Book: *http://desktopgisbook.com -Spatial Hosting: *http://mrcc.com/hosting "We work virtually everywhere" -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

[Qgis-user] Help Test WMS Basic HTTP Authentication
I have implemented basic HTTP authentication for the QGIS WMS provider and am looking for some volunteers to test it. The changes have not been committed to the QGIS SVN repository. Testing will require compiling from source. When creating or editing a WMS connection in QGIS you can now specify an optional username and password to be used with a protected WMS. These are stored in your QGIS settings. If you don't want the password stored you can leave it blank and be prompted for it at connection time. I haven't had time to prepare a set of patches but you can download the source tree (20Mb) that includes the WMS authentication from: http://gisalaska.com/qgis_wms_auth.zip I am particularly interested in testing by folks that require a proxy.

[Qgis-user] QGIS Is And Will Remain Free Open Source Software
My recent blog post (http://blog.qgis.org/qgis_going_closed_source) appears to have caused confusion for some. Be assured that the post was an April Fools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_fools_day) joke. QGIS is Free and Open Source Software and will remain so. There have been no changes to the project management, license, or philosophy. The development team is hard at work and preparing for a new release in the near future. I apologize for any concern this may have caused in the community. Obviously my humor didn't translate well to all corners of the user base. My previous QGIS April Fools joke a few years back was that we were porting the code from C++ to Java.

Re: [Qgis-user] Relational Databases and PostGIS formatting of Vector Data
On Apr 8, 2009, at 3:25 PM, Peter Willis wrote: Hello, I just ingested a MULTIPOLYGON vector into a PostGIS enabled database and realized that each vector becomes a unique TABLE in the database. Is this really necessary? Why not use proper relational database techniques and have all vectors of a specific type go into a single table with a unique ID for rows that belong to a specific vector? Shouldn't I have tables named: LINES MULTIPOLYGONS POLYGONS POINTS that link to a table named VECTORS by a unique ID. From a data modeling perspective, you are viewing the lines, polygons, points, etc. as entities. When modeling features (lakes, towns, etc.) they *are* the entity and have attributes. A lake has a name, depth, area, and so forth and a spatial representation. For GIS usage it makes sense to model the entity, not its spatial representation. PostGIS (as well as Oracle Spatial, Informix DataBlade) use this scheme which is based on the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" (see http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sfs). You end up with 200 tables (think layers) with attributes and a spatial representation. The scheme you suggest would add complexity not only in the database design, but also client implementation. %<. If we're going to use a database, we should make use of the facilities provided by a database and stop thinking in terms of flat files from the 1970s. I think when viewed from the perspective that features==entities you'll find that the database is being used appropriately. If you want more discussion on this issue, I suggest you post to the PostGIS users list where you'll get the attention of the developers among others. This isn't really a QGIS issue---we make use of PostGIS' OGC certified implementation.

[Qgis-user] Seeking to pay for the development of a QGIS Project File
From Greg Coats: For the Charleston, South Carolina urban area, I have quantity=1360, 0.60 meter resolution georeferenced GeoJP2 images. I have created several reduced-resolution mosaic images, that in effect form a 25 GB image pyramid. When zoomed out, for any particular scale, it is only necessary to draw pixels from one (not all) of the reduced resolution mosaic images. I have built an ESRI ArcGIS interface that provides for easy seamless panning, and zooming in, and out through all of these images. I would like to have prepared a functionally similar, easy to use, QGIS project file that would access, based on the current scale, the appropriate mosaic image, and as the user zooms in, seamlessly display the appropriate GeoJP2 image. The GDAL utility gdalbuildvrt would be used to define the boundaries of the 1360, full resolution images. I am seeking to pay someone to develop the QGIS project file.

Patrick Giraudoux wrote: Dear Listers, Using GRASS/QGIS under Linux usually, I am using QGIS 0.11.0 Metis under Windows on a teaching purpose and meet a problem with the writing permission given by default. All the students and myself are working with limited accounts, the administrator account being used just for managing the computers (this practice is recommendable for security and even compulsory under UNIX). When I try to start a shell session in GRASS (grass tools), I get this message: mkdir: cannot create directory `/home': Permission denied sh: cd: /home/giraudoux: No such file or directory and then can work normally. I was not that much worried about that until I found that some GRASS functions (e.g. i.fusion.brovey)must write in the directory /home, of course unsuccessfully and thus fail. They can be used only if one has full rights on the computer including writing on the C:\Program Files directory (actually quite dodgy on a routine basis). My question(s): am I right with this ? If so, is there a way to specify a by default directory other than C: that could be used for writing (e.g. into another partition, or into e.g. the application data of the user) ? Thanks in advance for any hint, Try setting the Windows HOME and/or HOMEDIR environment variable to point to user-writable directory. -gary -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Gary Sherman Chair, QGIS Project Steering Committee -Micro Resources: http://mrcc.com *Geospatial Hosting *Web Site Hosting -Desktop GIS Book: *http://desktopgisbook.com "We work virtually everywhere" -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

In a python console I tried:

{'http': 'http://craig:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/', 'no':
'localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local'}
My http proxy requires authentication and I see that my username and

self.proxy.setUser('craig')
self.proxy.setPassword('')
But I must be missing something because the repos are still unavailable.

Re: [Qgis-user] manual revision
In preparation for the release of QGIS 1.0, we are looking at revamping the manual. We need 1. feedback from the user community and 2. assistance in rewriting the latex source code for the manual. Regarding item 1 the manual is currently formatted with even and odd pages. Is this necessary? Does anyone printout the manual in book form? If we went to a one-sided format, would this bother anyone? Please post your input on the qgis-user mailing list. Yes, the manual is printed. The even/odd page format must be retained. Regarding item 2 please let us know if you would be interested in assisting with the manual revision. The current task is converting the inconsistent inline styles - for buttons, filenames, menu options, etc - to a set of conventions defined in the foreword. If you would like to help, please join the qgis-community-team mailing list and send a post.

Would it be possible to write the layers into the *map file in reverse? What version of QGIS are you using?

Unfortunately, I'm new to GIS but I have background in software development , differential geometry, physics, and SONAR imaging. Note, the file http://qgis.org/uploadfiles/qgis_sample_data.tar.gz - the so-called sample data set , only contains shape files - which is basically useless. I think calling it useless is a bit harsh. The purpose is to provide a small, easy to download set of data for users to try, not a comprehensive data set. Ideally, the data set would allow me to follow the presentation in the user manual beyond simply opening a shape file (which if I recall correctly, was 3 mouse clicks.) An alternative is to work through the material from the FOSS4G2007 workshop: http://blog.qgis.org/?q=node/86 In addition to learning how to use Quantum GIS, I'm going to try and convince a GIS Analyst to use Quantum GIS too.

Another option is to use the upcoming python plugin for that (you need qgis 9.1 or higher to use the python plugins). After enabling 'Plugin Installer'-plugin, you can get a list of current (python) plugins and get it. It seems that there is a bug in it, and there are some other things which can be refined (see this thread: http://www.nabble.com/Mapserver-Export-to15454127.html) . But if you can write a few lines of python, it's a good start. You can find python plugin hints in blog wiki or mailinglists.
