Dear friends, dear colleagues,
we would like to raise to you all the following proposal of an European
FOSS-GIS developers meeting by the end of November (kind of follow-up
of the Canadian Code Sprint in September).
The event is the 'European GIS Code Sprint' organized as a post-event
of the
(Reading Andrea's post, I'm reminded of the thread the other day about
OSGeo's value. Whatever OSGeo can do to help foster events like this
one, even just by providing a mailing list on which to announce it, is
of great value -- and is easily overlooked.)

Hi everyone,
OSGeo will have a booth at FOSS4G, including a public Internet Cafe
area. To help run it, we need some more volunteers. I invite you to
put in some time volunteering to help at the OSGeo Booth - help talk
to people, show off any applications you have, hand out brochures.
Tyler,
I plan to hang out around the OSGeo booth whenever I am not busy giving
a workshop, lab, or presentation. So that should give some extra coverage.

Hi all,
I've been looking for an Open Source desktop application
that will:
1. Combine raster and vector spatial data, and (re)project
them
2. Render a graticule (lines and labels showing latitude and
longitude) (and no, I don't want to create a shapefile to do
that)
3. Print to a large format

I'm not quite sure it suits your needs, but have you looked at the dlgv32
viewer the USGS distributes at
http://mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/drc/dlgv32pro/index.html ?
I haven't used it in a while, but it does offer graticule overlay,
large-format printing, and comes with a source distribution; I
Ed,
Only the old v3.7 dlgv32 is available in source (that I
know of). dlgv32pro is really GlobalMapper (non-free,
non-open, but a great tool). And while GlobalMapper will
draw a set of lat/lon lines, it has no cartographic-quality
map composition capability.
Yikes! Is
Hi Brent,
with GRASS' ps.map you can do that rather easily:
- define the raster and vector map names
- define (optionally) legend stuff
- activate geogrid to overlay a geographic grid onto the output map
- define paper size
It generated a Postscript file (use ps2pdf to make PDF) which
can be
