Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Is GmapGIS open source?

I think there may be some confusion over the meaning of "free" in FOSS. "Free" in FOSS means free as in libre, referencing the "Four Essential Freedoms", not free as in no cost. It is actually a stronger statement than "open". See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition On

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Testing on multiple versions and upgrading

If you want to be thorough, testing on different versions of the "same" Linux distribution makes sense. Generally, the compiler and all the surrounding libraries are upgraded between distribution versions and could have different behaviors or bugs. You might want to look into a continuous

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] okay foss4g time to move off of Flickr

It seems a shame to throw away historical documents. I'm not at all informed about Flickr, but I suspect it keeps track of who contributed a photo. Why can't we just asked whoever contributed non-CC pictures if they would be willing to mark them CC? On Fri, Nov 2, 2018, 17:57 Jody Garnett I

With all due respect, withdrawing after voting has started isn't fair to those who have already voted. I have been intentionally staying out of the melee that has been the discuss list lately, but in my opinion this is just not right. With full appreciation for and recognition of all the good

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] regarding Standards on the beta website

Bob, Are you trying to differentiate direct support of standards vs indirect support via another package? GeoMoose is a web client and I believe the current project page (at least as of when I was working on it at the FOSS4G code sprint) correctly states the supported standards. While MapServer

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Proposal for the listing of projects in our new web site

I generally agree with Even's comments. W.r.t. Not requireing other licenses clause, I would like to add a question about how this would apply to free software that is mostly intended to operate with non-free data? e.g. GDAL drivers that enable reading proprietary formats via a vendor SDK or

As a OSGeo charter member and as someone who had a very small supporting role in organizing a past FOSS4G-NA, I have seen a glimpse of the enormous amount of effort it takes to successfully organize a conference. In addition to all the normal conference logistics, FOSS4G has the additional

Not sure if it is useful to others but I wrote a program [1] to help me when Bob wants a bunch of OSGeo-Live thumb drives created. It isn't by any means perfect or 100% foolproof but it sure makes the job quicker for me. It takes an image and waits for USBs of the same size to be inserted, then

I have been quietly following this and find validity in both points. However, one thing is puzzling me. OSGeo has other projects that have come from the research environment (Mapserver and Grass come to mind but there are probably more). What is different about rasdaman? On May 5, 2016 05:25,
