SAC Service Status

2017-04-30T13:05:19Z

Rduivenvoorde:

Infrastructure of OSGeo System Administration Committee ([[SAC]])

= Servers at OSL =
[[OSL | Open Source Labs]] - 4 physical machines containing ''x'' virtual machines.

If VM hanging, see [[OSL]] for how to open a ticket with OSUOSL's support.

All [[SAC#Members|SAC administrators]] have LDAP auth to the OSL Virtual Machines. [[SAC:Primary Administrators]] also have ssh key access in case LDAP is down and that will also apply to the physical machines. Worst case scenario use the information on [[OSL | Open Source Labs]] to file a ticket (SAC members only). Direct connection to virtual machines is by appending it's vm alias to .osgeo.osuosl.org.

* Live Status via [http://webextra.osgeo.osuosl.org/munin/index.html Munin]

== osgeo3 ==

Each of the sections below represent a Virtual Machine and describes which services are running on it, and by which name they are reachable.

* [[SAC:LDAP|LDAP]] Python Admin Scripts in /usr/lib/cgi-bin
See [[Infrastructure Transition Plan 2010#Final_Plan]] for full details.

=== Base ===
* Template VM used when creating new VMs.
* Not normally running - make a special request to OSL to start it up.

=== WebExtra ===
* See [[WebExtraVM]] for full details (server: http://webextra.osgeo.osuosl.org)

Osgeo Userid Help

2016-10-31T05:25:00Z

Rduivenvoorde:

=== Introduction ===

Via this page: http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid you will be directed to the scripts to either create a osgeo_userid, or to change it (for example to reset your password).

Below is a Visual Representation of the process.

=== First ===

First step, go to https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_password_reset.py:

[[File:1_osgeo_userid_reset_with_email.png]]

and fill in your email address in that form and POST it:

This screen will be the result:

[[File:2_osgeo_userid_reset_with_email_result.png]]

=== Email confirmation email ===

And now... check your email (can take some time), you will receive this email:

[[File:3_osgeo_userid_email.png]]

Click the (one-time!) link in the email, and your password will actually be reset and you will see the following page:

[[File:4_osgeo_userid_email_clicked.png]]

=== Email with new password ===

You will receive an email with a NEW password to be able to login and change to your preferred password:

[[File:5_osgeo_userid_email_clicked_result.png]]

=== Login ===

Go to the link in the email, you will be presented with a login alert:

[[File:6_osgeo_userid_edit_login.png]]

Do use the NEW password there, often your browser 'remembers' some password for you, but this is probably NOT the right one.

In the following screen you can change your password:

[[File:7_osgeo_userid_edit_change_password.png]]

=== Problems ===

IF you happen to see the message 'Invalid token':

[[File:8_osgeo_userid_invalid_token.png]]

something went wrong.

Maybe you clicked asked for a new onetime password twice, or you 'used' this onetime password already?

Just go to https://www.osgeo.org/cgi-bin/ldap_password_reset.py again and start over...

FOSS4G 2016 Code Sprint

2016-07-07T04:43:51Z

Rduivenvoorde: /* QGIS */

== CodeSprint ==

Venue: Bonn, Germany

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a codesprint on the FOSS4G. More precisely, we offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their codesprint. Since projects benefit from each other as well, the codesprint will naturally be held conjointly at one place.
Unfortunately, circumstances have forced us to divide the codesprint timetable-wise.

[[Image:Basecamp5.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp6.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp7.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp1.png|200px|thumb|right]]

'''The first part''' is scheduled to take place directly before the conference, the second immediately after. The first two and a half days start on Sunday, August 21, 2016 at around noon and are scheduled to end on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 (open end). The '''second part''' starts in the morning of Saturday, August 27, 2016 and ends on Sunday at 12 pm.

[[Image:Basecamp2.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp3.png|200px|thumb|right]]

We are happy to have found a really '''awesome location''' for you. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall. Check out http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue.
Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. There’s the option of finding relatively inexpensive sleeping accommodations in train sleeping cars, camping buses, classic cars and more. Additionally, an outdoor area is available for you to enjoy Bonn’s summer weather in August, while working. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by you.

[[Image:Basecamp4.png|200px|thumb|right]]

Another hint: the BaseCamp is within '''walking distance from the conference venue''' (WCCB) and has good access to public transportation – the Icebreaker takes place here, too.
You see, it’s worthwhile booking here!

As the accommodations are available to all FOSS4G participants, we will make an effort to make advance booking possible for you a few days ahead, to ensure you have the opportunity to sleep on-site and wrap up the evenings jointly. For that, it’s necessary for you to sign up (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint) and leave your email address so that we can contact you immediately accomodation booking is available. We need your sign-up for the planning of snacks and drinks, too!

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, testing – all this is also important for project so everyone is cordially invited to attend the codesprints! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in codesprint.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with an approx. 120 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

'''When:'''
* Part I: Sun 2016-08-21 12:00 noon - Tue 2016-08-23 (open end)
* Part II: Sat 2016-08-27 - Sun 2016-08-28 12:00 noon

'''Where:'''
* Venue & Accommodation: BaseCamp. (For more informations: http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/) [[http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/44335958#map=18/50.70763/7.12316| OpenStreetMap]]

FOSS4G 2016 Code Sprint

2016-07-07T04:42:24Z

Rduivenvoorde: /* Registered Attendees */

== CodeSprint ==

Venue: Bonn, Germany

This year, once again, we are following the old tradition of hosting a codesprint on the FOSS4G. More precisely, we offer a setting so that individual projects can meet for their codesprint. Since projects benefit from each other as well, the codesprint will naturally be held conjointly at one place.
Unfortunately, circumstances have forced us to divide the codesprint timetable-wise.

[[Image:Basecamp5.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp6.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp7.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp1.png|200px|thumb|right]]

'''The first part''' is scheduled to take place directly before the conference, the second immediately after. The first two and a half days start on Sunday, August 21, 2016 at around noon and are scheduled to end on Tuesday, August 23, 2016 (open end). The '''second part''' starts in the morning of Saturday, August 27, 2016 and ends on Sunday at 12 pm.

[[Image:Basecamp2.png|200px|thumb|right]]
[[Image:Basecamp3.png|200px|thumb|right]]

We are happy to have found a really '''awesome location''' for you. Codesprint and accommodations are combined in one hall. Check out http://www.basecamp-bonn.com/ for details about the venue.
Working zones will be created for you in the breakfast area and hallways. There’s the option of finding relatively inexpensive sleeping accommodations in train sleeping cars, camping buses, classic cars and more. Additionally, an outdoor area is available for you to enjoy Bonn’s summer weather in August, while working. Healthy and not-so-healthy catering of drinks and snacks will be provided by us. Participation in codesprint is free of charge. However, overnight stays will have to be reserved and paid for by you.

[[Image:Basecamp4.png|200px|thumb|right]]

Another hint: the BaseCamp is within '''walking distance from the conference venue''' (WCCB) and has good access to public transportation – the Icebreaker takes place here, too.
You see, it’s worthwhile booking here!

As the accommodations are available to all FOSS4G participants, we will make an effort to make advance booking possible for you a few days ahead, to ensure you have the opportunity to sleep on-site and wrap up the evenings jointly. For that, it’s necessary for you to sign up (https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2016_Code_Sprint) and leave your email address so that we can contact you immediately accomodation booking is available. We need your sign-up for the planning of snacks and drinks, too!

This is open to all who wish to participate in one or more projects. There’s always plenty to do – it’s not all about programming. Translation, documentation, feedback, discussions, testing – all this is also important for project so everyone is cordially invited to attend the codesprints! Registration with the conference is not a prerequisite for participation in codesprint.

One thing we’d like to ask you: with an approx. 120 participants anticipated, the WLAN capacity will naturally be exhausted at some point. Please be sure to avoid huge on-site downloads of data, as this could impact the work of others. Thank you!

The Codesprint Organizing Team is looking forward to your coming!

'''In summary:'''

'''When:'''
* Part I: Sun 2016-08-21 12:00 noon - Tue 2016-08-23 (open end)
* Part II: Sat 2016-08-27 - Sun 2016-08-28 12:00 noon

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial
problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012),
[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011),
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course,
but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Venue ==

The City of Vienna MA 14 gladly provides the location for the Vienna Code Sprint for up to 60 sprinters in [http://www.wien.gv.at/stadtplan/grafik.aspx?lang=de-AT&bookmark=zHClRv95TUbsTHFEFcAeRO5RphlRnHnkur2pH4Oprw-b-b&bmadr=25723751 their very new office called STAR 22] (see also [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.22910&mlon=16.45660#map=19/48.22910/16.45660 OSM map]).

The venue is not far from the center of Vienna (~25min via train and subway) and can be reached easily from the Vienna airport via train.

== Dates and Times ==

March 24-28 2014

Note: March 19-21 FOSSGIS Berlin

Duration: Full week

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Install git, subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible

== FAQ ==

* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?
** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?
** While this is not a presentation-oriented event like FOSS4G, there will be the possibility to have presentations. There are plans to get a dedicated room with beamer.

== Social Activities ==

=== Welcome party ===

In the evening of the first day of the sprint we will invite all sprinters to a big welcome party. More details shall not be revealed yet but we try to make it a memorable event.

=== Guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance" ===

On Wednesday evening we invite interested participants to a guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance". An on-site registration will be needed due to a limit number of 25 places.

The downtown tour introduces the imperial city, Vienna´s great history, its unique architecture, and todays life-style.

Meeting in front of St. Stephen´s Cathedral, Vienna’s main 900 years old landmark, we will stroll along Graben and Kohlmarkt, passing former court confectionary Demel and the most exclusive shops in Vienna. Crossing the courtyards of the Imperial Palace "Hofburg" you will hear about the great times of former Austrian monarchy, see where Empress Elizabeth (Sisi) married Emperor Franz Joseph, where the Vienna Boys’ Choir sings mass on Sunday, and where the famous white Lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School perform. You will enjoy the great view from Heroes Square to some of the magnificent buildings of the famous Ringstraße. We will continue walking towards State Opera and the legendary hotel Sacher and will end the tour at Albertinaplatz.

=== Skiing ===

We will leave Vienna early on Saturday to go to [http://openrouteservice.org/index.php?start=16.4564156,48.2295225&end=13.7795834,47.4114987&pref=Fastest&lang=de&noMotorways=false&noTollways=false Haus im Ennstal] for skiing. In the evening we will visit an [http://www.hauser-kaibling.at/de/events/events2014/open_air_2014.htm open air concert] and return on Sunday.

Please contact [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]] if you're interested.

== Purpose ==

Get together project members to make decisions and tackle larger geospatial
problems (as done last year at the [[Boston Code Sprint 2013]] and previous
years: [[IslandWood Code Sprint 2012|Island Wood]] (2012),
[[Montreal Code Sprint 2011|Montreal]] (2011),
[[New York Code Sprint 2010|New York City]] (2010), and
[[Toronto Code Sprint 2009|Toronto]] (2009)). This code sprint is targeting
members of the "C Tribe" (e.g., MapServer, QGis, GRASS, GDAL, Proj, PostGIS,
MapGuide, OpenLayers). Other tribes are welcome to join the sprint, of course,
but we hope that "C Tribe" members will give this event special consideration.

== Venue ==

The City of Vienna MA 14 gladly provides the location for the Vienna Code Sprint for up to 60 sprinters in [http://www.wien.gv.at/stadtplan/grafik.aspx?lang=de-AT&bookmark=zHClRv95TUbsTHFEFcAeRO5RphlRnHnkur2pH4Oprw-b-b&bmadr=25723751 their very new office called STAR 22] (see also [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.22910&mlon=16.45660#map=19/48.22910/16.45660 OSM map]).

The venue is not far from the center of Vienna (~25min via train and subway) and can be reached easily from the Vienna airport via train.

== Dates and Times ==

March 24-28 2014

Note: March 19-21 FOSSGIS Berlin

Duration: Full week

== Agenda ==

== Individual Preparation ==

* Bring your own computer
* Install git, subversion and the compiler tools, and come with a working development environment if possible

== FAQ ==

* Is the Vienna Code Sprint just a coding event?
** Yes, a coding and documentation event. It is a working session for people who are already participants in open source projects.
* Will it be possible to present new projects during this event?
** While this is not a presentation-oriented event like FOSS4G, there will be the possibility to have presentations. There are plans to get a dedicated room with beamer.

== Social Activities ==

=== Welcome party ===

In the evening of the first day of the sprint we will invite all sprinters to a big welcome party. More details shall not be revealed yet but we try to make it a memorable event.

=== Guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance" ===

On Wednesday evening we invite interested participants to a guided evening walk - "The City of Vienna at a glance". An on-site registration will be needed due to a limit number of 25 places.

The downtown tour introduces the imperial city, Vienna´s great history, its unique architecture, and todays life-style.

Meeting in front of St. Stephen´s Cathedral, Vienna’s main 900 years old landmark, we will stroll along Graben and Kohlmarkt, passing former court confectionary Demel and the most exclusive shops in Vienna. Crossing the courtyards of the Imperial Palace "Hofburg" you will hear about the great times of former Austrian monarchy, see where Empress Elizabeth (Sisi) married Emperor Franz Joseph, where the Vienna Boys’ Choir sings mass on Sunday, and where the famous white Lipizzaner stallions of the Spanish Riding School perform. You will enjoy the great view from Heroes Square to some of the magnificent buildings of the famous Ringstraße. We will continue walking towards State Opera and the legendary hotel Sacher and will end the tour at Albertinaplatz.

=== Skiing ===

We will leave Vienna early on Saturday to go to [http://openrouteservice.org/index.php?start=16.4564156,48.2295225&end=13.7795834,47.4114987&pref=Fastest&lang=de&noMotorways=false&noTollways=false Haus im Ennstal] for skiing. In the evening we will visit an [http://www.hauser-kaibling.at/de/events/events2014/open_air_2014.htm open air concert] and return on Sunday.

Please contact [[User:schpidi|Stephan Meissl]] if you're interested.

''Please don't edit this "Cover Letter" statement, which has been approved by the OSGeo Board.''

The board of the [http://osgeo.org Open Source Geospatial Foundation] (OSGeo) is presenting this letter to the OGC. It highlights concerns about the "GeoServices REST API" from many people within the OSGeo community. As always, if there is anything the OSGeo board can do to help, then please let us know.

''Please don't edit this "Open Letter" statement, comments and discussion should go in the "Further Concerns" section below.''

May 2013

We, the undersigned, have concerns that approving the "Geoservices REST API" as an OGC standard, would have detrimental impacts on interoperability within the spatial industry.

We strongly urge that the proposed "Geoservices REST API", as it stands in May 2013, be rejected as an OGC standard.

People have listed different reasons for concern. They are described below.

= Summary =

''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

The document titled "GeoServices REST API" is currently, in May 2013, being considered to be included as one of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards. The vote to accept the document as a standard is unusually contentious; the controversy is the cause of this page.

The document was previously released for public comment and can be found [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/requests/89 on the request for public comment page] (though public comment has been closed for now).

The document attempts to standardize a suite of web services such as a service which provides map images, a service which provides geospatial feature data, and a service which performs geospatial processing. The standard focuses on interactions via a defined hierarchy of URLs and using predominantly a particular set of JSON schemas for the exchange of geospatial data.

== Criticism and Response ==

The adoption of the document as an OGC Standard is contentious for a wide variety of reasons including:

* the process through which the document was developed which is thought to lack sufficient flexibility to respond to input from various stakeholders,
* the focus of the document on 'REST' and 'API' which is seen as not matching the ideas others have for these concepts,
* the names of the standard and of the services which are seen as potentially confusing,
* the functionality of the new services which are considered to duplicate that of existing services already standardized by the OGC such as WMS, WFS, WCS, and WPS,
* the addition of a new set of services based on new URL patterns and new JSON exchange formats which is seen as duplicating the efforts of other working groups bringing similar ideas to the updates of existing OGC services,
* the re-introduction in the new services of previously resolved interoperability issues which is seen as failing to build on the existing knowledge and experience,
* the use of the particular JSON schemas which are seen as having little industry acceptance and are incompatible with other widely used schemas, and
* the lack of implementation diversity which is thought to give the vendor of the one complete implementation an unusual commercial advantage on top of the vendor's already dominant position in the domain.

These issues have potential impacts on the use of 'Open Standards' by governments and companies, on the interoperability of software interacting with standards compliant OGC services, on the costs to developers and users of standards compliant software, on the understanding of 'Open Standards' by the public at large, and, possibly, on the reputation of the OGC as a champion of interoperability.

In particular there are concerns by some that adoption of the standard will likely result in a combination of the following:
# The cost to application developers, systems integrators, testers and sponsors to support all relevant OGC standards will be substantially increased.
# Consequently, organisations and/or applications may choose to only support one standard, or only support one standard fully.
# Sponsors (such as governments) who require compliance with OGC standards will discover that applications don't communicate together, due to applications supporting different OGC standards that essentially do the same thing.
# This will result in a diminished importance of OGC, as the "OGC standards" stamp of approval will not equate interoperability.
# After a while, in order to solve interoperability issues, a respected international organisation or program will likely take the initiative to mandate one standard as the preferred standard for all agencies to follow. To date, the OGC has provided this leadership.
# One standard taking prominance over the other will likely lead to the other being neglected or deprecated, resulting in many OGC compliant systems becoming legacy systems in the process. This should be considered an undesirable outcome for a standards organisation.

In response to these issues, the authors of the Geoservices REST API document have stated that:

* the process of the OGC has been followed completely,
* the specification actually is RESTful and does define an API,
* the name, due to the controversy, may be open for modification
* the OGC does not forbid duplication of service functionality, already has duplication between the W*S and the S*S (sensor) family of standards, should not block progress in the name of 'one true way', and harmonization between the services can be considered in the future,
* the JSON format exists and functions, and
* there are alternative implementations for some of these services.

The authors also stress that the existence of a large user base shows the service is useful, and that the standardization of the services at the OGC may encourage new implementations.

= Positions on the vote =
''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

The discussion raises a number of issues, many based upon complex technical concepts and implications. This makes it difficult for voting OGC members considering whether to support "Geoservices REST API" as a standard. The following provides one analysis of the positions on the vote, aimed to simplify and summarize key points. However, it does not necessarily represent the opinions held by all signatories above.

; The pros for accepting the "Geoservices REST API" document as an OGC standard:

:* The OGC should be in the business of developing good standards, not in choosing which standards should be implemented.
:* The proposers of the document want to make a standard and have followed all the rules of the OGC. The work of any such group of members deserves serious, good faith consideration.
:* The need for an integrated suite of services using simple data, which is addressed (partially) by the document, is real. The proposed document is pushing the OGC on this issue.
:* The proposed document could be useful to a number of people.
:* The proposed document is not significantly more broken than the existing standards of the OGC. As one author of standards [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/011667.html notes]:
:''"I know how totally impossible it is to write a good standard, so the weaknesses in the existing document seem more acceptable."''

; The cons:

:* The OGC actually is, whether it should be or not, in the position of recommending interoperable standards for geospatial services. The proposed document is not good enough, not widely enough implemented, and not publicly supported enough, to be considered at the same level as existing standards.
:* Adopting a standard implies a desire to maintain the standard, but OGC's desire to support this approach has been questioned by some. In particular, the lack of collaboration and willingness to accept recommendations from the community on this version of the "Geoservices REST API" document bodes ill for the future.
:* The overlap in functionality between the proposed services and the existing services, notably with the ongoing work to modularize the existing services, is almost 100 percent. However, compatibility is low.
:* There is already a published document: http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/geoservices-rest-spec.pdf so there is no need for the document to be adopted as an OGC Standard merely for interoperability with the ESRI implementation.
:* The document, as a new, separate effort, repeats mistakes which were made and since solved by the other services.
:* The document focuses on the past (notably with backwards compatibility and use of only GET/POST) not on the future.
:* The document needs a comprehensive editorial review and substantial rewriting for clarity.

; A conclusion:

Both simple answers are bad.

A simple acceptance of the standard would introduce a new set of 'OGC approved' open services. The OGC approval might enable governments to buy a XXXX-new-name-here-XXXX solution instead of a W*S or a S*S solution. The path forwards towards harmonizing the services is unclear. Fixing this document in addition to fixing the W*S services will be a pain.

Simply rejecting the solution would be bad for the OGC. It would place the OGC in the position of picking winners and losers in the standards business. It would mean that the OGC is stuck on the project of fixing the W*S standards to meet some nebulous future functionality without having any path to get there. It would discourage innovation and progress.

Is there any third way?

Well, actually, there is a different way of thinking of the issue. Overall, there appears to be a shared desire for an integrated suite of geospatial services, originally focused on a simple data model, built on the exchange of well defined resources in simple formats including JSON, accessible and usable using the core HTTP verbs, and discoverable through following HTML links and patterns of URL paths. The hope is that such a suite can be designed based on the best expertise of the OGC, can be widely supported by the community, and can be implemented and tested by multiple groups. Neither the proposed document, nor the current services meet this vision. So the work, ultimately, is on improving all the services at the OGC, first to modularize them, then to enable simple implementations, and finally to link those implementations into a functional suite. Since this is the work that is already happening, perhaps the vote is an unfortunate distraction and the productive way forward is merely to redouble the efforts to create the next versions of the standards.

= Issues with the document =

''Please don't edit this section - it is now locked to ensure editorial review. You may send comments to Cameron Shorter AT gmail .com''

Beyond the controversy described above, there are issues with the Geoservices REST API document itself. Even if the standard deserves support, these issues could be considered blockers to the adoption of the current, May 2013, document.

The critique is incomplete because it quickly falls into a full editorial review of the text, something which takes a lot of time and effort and is beyond the scope and intent of this Open Letter.

The critique can be found at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API_critique.

Note that some of these critiques hold the document to OGC's current, standards writing guidelines. The OGC has been striving to develop better standards so new standards must meet higher requirements than past standards. The lack of clarity in the proposed document is not substantially worse than many published standards but ought to be resolved in new standards.

= Further Concerns =
--- DRAFT ____

''Please add concerns not addressed above as bullet points below. Where appropriate, link to external web pages (such as email achieves). Try to be concise, and try not to repeat concepts which have been covered above, (less words get read by more people). Points you have previously added, which are now covered above should be removed. Words that have been struck out will be removed by Tuesday 14 May.''

== Political Concerns ==

* <strike>Adopting the standard will expose the OGC to a strong suspicion of acting as a rubber stamp organization under ESRI weight, and will be detrimental to its recognized position as a reference organization for geospatial standards.</strike>
* <strike>It is a dubious practice that a standardization organisation promotes competing standards, without explicitely obsoleting (or at least recommending) some of them. How is a newcomer to the industry supposed to select the appropriate standard if several ones share the same scope : WFS or GeoServices REST API Feature Service, WMS or GeoServices REST API Map Service, etc. ?</strike>

== Commercial Concerns ==

* <strike>Promoting standards from an existing implementation made by a single vendor leads to an obvious bias in competition.</strike>
* <strike>Supporting multiple overlapping standards greatly reduces usability while it increases complexity and cost of development and maintenance.</strike>
* <strike>Many SME's have invested in supporting existing OGC standards in their products. They will be forced to choose the standards they support (and can explain), resulting in decreased interoperability, confusion and frustration for clients.</strike>
* <strike>Confusing customers with new, overlapping OGC standards will lower the credibility of companies and of OGC, reducing business opportunities.</strike>

== Technical Concerns ==

* <strike>The Geoservices REST API overlaps in large proportion with existing OGC standards such as WMS, WCS, WFS, WMTS, CSW, with no effort made to reconcile with those standards.</strike>
* The standardization of WKT for Spatial reference systems is unfortunately currently quite weak in OGC standards. Geoservices REST API is tied with ESRI's version of WKT, which is not properly specified in the Geoservices REST API documents, and is known to be incompatible with other OGC documents, which will lead to a larger confusion. See the following [http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-July/000166.html comment] for more details on this issue.
* <strike>The Geoservices REST API is not particularly RESTful - it's a thinly disguised service call, not an address space for RESTful objects that can be operated on.</strike>
* see [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Geoservices_REST_API_critique#The_Technical_Approach this discussion] for detailed arguments why OGC WCS is superior to the "GeoServices REST API" Part 6. It concludes: ''In summary, the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" Imaging part is at a technological level where WCS departed from some 5 years ago. Inconciseness of the specification at large will make it difficult for third parties to come up with interoperable implementations. The components making up the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" provide natural blocks assignable to the matching SWGs. As for Part 6 of the ESRI "Geoservice REST API", if to become a standard it needs to be discussed in the WCS.SWG for harmonization, clarification, and improvement.''

== Methodological Concerns ==

# Ten months after submitting, no public response (nor private to the authors of the comments) has been made to the various comments sent on the OGC Requests mailing list in [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-July/date.html July 2012]] and [[http://lists.opengeospatial.org/pipermail/requests/2012-August/date.html August 2012]] during the 30 day public comments period.
# The Geoservices REST API can not be amended (other than editorial changes in the specification document), because of a requirement of backward compatibility with ESRI implementation. Consequently, the standard is unlikely to improve, or its evolution will be only lead by ESRI.
# OGC standards normally require interoperability experiments and a richer process to ratify a standard such as this one. No explanation has been forthcoming as to why a simplified process is appropriate in this case.

A response (from Adrian Custer):

# The OGC is working to release those documents to the public as of 9 May 2013.
# Work on the next version of the document can take any perspective acceptable to those working on the document. (The OGC has no method in place in case two groups want to evolve the document in two different directions.)
# That is not true, the OGC does not require interoperability experiments or some "richer process" for the adoption of a standard; that may be desirable but is not required.

FOSS4G 2009 Code Sprint

2009-10-21T06:25:29Z

Rduivenvoorde:

== Organizing Contacts ==

* Jody Garnett, Tyler Mitchell

== Code Sprint - what's that? ==

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done. They fly the developers to a single location and feed them for a couple of days with the necessities of the hacking life (internet, caffeine, electricity). The communication that happens from face to face hacking usually lasts the project for a year or more. You see this a lot in projects like Drupal etc...

'''DATE: SUNDAY 25 OCTOBER'''

'''Time: 10am - 4pm'''

'''Venue: Intersect, Level 12, 309 Kent St'''

This sprint will be held on Sunday 25 October at a different venue (Intersect). We ask everyone attending to add their name to the list below as we are limited to 12 people. First come, first served.

'''Coordinator:'''
* Ben Caradoc-Davies

'''Attending:'''
# Ben Caradoc-Davies
# Jody Garnett
# Andrea Aime
# Andrea Antonello
# Silvia Franceschi

'''Goals:'''
* Progress ISO 19107 / GML 3D geometry collaboration (OSGeom). See <tt><java-collab@lists.osgeo.org></tt> for more.

'''Plan:'''
Some subset of Markus Schneider's proposal:
# DONE - Remove all topological and spatial analysis methods in the interfaces from the SVN for now, so we can focus on sanitising the model.
# Add factories. I would like to add two factories similar to the ones in the deegree 3 SVN:
#* SFS geometries:
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/SimpleGeometryFactory.html
#* ISO 19107/GML 3
#** http://download.deegree.org/deegree3/nightly/core/javadoc/org/deegree/geometry/GeometryFactory.html
#* In deegree 3, these factories are bound to a JTS-based implementation. As we only have interfaces for the geometry types in the osgeom repository for now (and no implementations), I would create interfaces from the factories.
# Add a basic implementation that is just a bean representation without operations. We could finally start to add JUnit tests then.
# Add GML parsers/exporters. I understood that one may want to keep this aspect out of the repository, but I don't see how we could test the difficulties in representing GML geometries (e.g external xlinks) without this. It also would make setting up geometries for testing much easier. Maybe we could keep the GML parsing/exporting isolated from the rest of the code.
# Of course we would take on the operations subject again, when we find consensus here.

== Live DVD ==

Rduivenvoorde: /* People interested in participating */

There is an official [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|official foundation committee]] page which provides more detail on meetings and discussions.

== Mission ==

=== Promote the use of open geospatial formats ===
Providing best-practise guidelines and examples for use of open and free standards for data (GML, WMS, WFS-T) and metadata (Dublin Core, RDF, ISO19115 through ISO19139).

=== Promote public access to state-collected geodata ===

Lead by example in demonstrating economic value and research activity generated by open access to public geographic information.

=== Run a repository of open geodata ===
A [[Geodata_Repository]] shall be hosted by the PGDP.
Additionally, links to other open data repostories shall be collected.

=== Present and explain licenses for public geodata ===
The PGDP aims to collect licenses suitable for the publishing of public geodata. The license shall be presented along with a summary of its benefits and focus.

== Approach ==

After a [[Public Geospatial Data Committee Definition Phase|Definition phase]] this has become an official [[Committees|committee]] within [[Main Page|OSGeo]].

=== Working Groups ===

At the [[Geodata Committee Meeting 20060322|first meeting of the geodata committee]] we decided to focus interest through three [[Working Groups]]:

* A [[Geodata Discovery Working Group]] which would focus on indexing and search of data and metadata repositories.
* A [[Geodata Packaging Working Group]] to look at creation and maintanance of really high quality and rich data packages to offer for educational purposes with software packages, with [[GRASS GIS]] in particular.
* A [[Geodata Licensing Working Group]] to look into parallel licensing developments and to consult on guidelines for open licenses for geodata.

=== Mailing List ===

There is a public mailing list and [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/geodata/ archive] for discussion of geodata activities within OSGeo at http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/geodata.

=== Meetings ===

This group is having regular meetings on IRC on the #osgeo channel on irc.freenode.net. At the moment this is happening on Thursdays at 16:00 UTC. [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2006&month=4&hour=16&min=0&sec=0 fixed time]

See the [[Public Geospatial Data Committee|Geodata Committee]] page for more details on past meetings and upcoming agendas.
