Board Press Release GeoMoose Graduates Incubation

2013-08-20T15:33:32Z

Wiki-Bfischer:

== Subject ==

GeoMoose Graduates OSGeo Incubation

== News Date ==

19 Apr 2013

== Details ==

OSGeo is pleased to announce that the GeoMoose project has graduated from incubation and is now a full fledged OSGeo project. Bob Basques, a long time member of the GeoMoose Project Steering Committee (PSC), has been appointed as project officer.

[http://www.geomoose.org/ GeoMoose] is GeoMoose is an Open Source Web Client JavaScript Framework for displaying distributed GIS data. GeoMoose excels at creating a useful web-based GIS application for those who need something that works without any programming experience. The GeoMoose demo (available on the GeoMoose website) contains a fully operating web-based property viewer. It can render, investigate, and even edit layers without the need to write a single line of code.

Graduating [http://www.osgeo.org/incubator incubation] includes fulfilling requirements for open community operation, a responsible project governance model, code provenance, and general good project operation. Graduation is the OSGeo seal of approval for a project and gives potential users and the community at large an added confidence in the viability and safety of the project.

The project steering committee says, ''quote from GeoMoose PSC''

Congratulations to the GeoMoose community!

FOSS4G 2011 Travel Hints

2011-09-12T23:49:08Z

Wiki-Bfischer: /* Tuesday */

This page is to collect various hints for people traveling to Denver for [[FOSS4G 2011]].

Please do not hesitate to add your own hints and info

__TOC__

= Airport Cab Share =

Cab fare to/from the airport is ~$50, and while the Shuttle is cheaper it isn't a direct connection, so consider sharing a cab with someone -- just sign up below and maybe make a new friend....

== Tuesday ==

* arriving airport 6:45pm, going to the Sheraton -- contact bfischer@houstoneng.com
* arriving airport 9:25pm, going to the Sheraton -- contact mpg@flaxen.com

== City Bus ==

the AT route from the airport to downtown was $11. All buses stop on the top level transportation center, furthest island from the airport exit.

== Super Shuttle ==

You can also make use of the Super Shuttle ($22 one way or $40 return within 14 days). They drop you off at your hotel. Find the Super Shuttle desk at the Ground Transport(?) signs. The shuttle vans are blue colored. Note: a few people have had less than optimal experiences with them, so your customer satisfaction mileage may vary.

= Cell Phone Roaming =

== Prepaid SIM Cards ==

For those with unlocked cell phones looking for a prepaid SIM card:

* AT&T has a few very interesting options, either 2$/day for unlimited voice and text, or 0.10$/minute. See http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-plans/pyg-cell-phone-plans.jsp

== Canadian Travelers ==

* Rogers:
** http://www.rogers.com/web/Rogers.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=NEW_GCT&_nfls=true&setLanguage=en&sub_template=travelwithyourphone&template=add-ons
* Bell:
** Voice:
*** Regular roaming charges for Bell customers roaming in US are 1.45$+tax per minute
*** There are voice roaming packages that can be added to your account for a single month to get lower roaming charges (15$ for 15 minutes voice + 1$/minute extra, 30$ for 50 min. voice + 0.60$ extra) See http://www.bell.ca/shopping/Travel-USA-bundles/RMUSA.details
** SMS:
*** By default without a SMS package, you get charges of 0.75$ per outgoing SMS and 0.20$ per incoming SMS while roaming
*** If you have a SMS package with free incoming SMS in your local (canadian) package then incoming SMS from Canada are also free while roaming (but outgoing SMS are still 0.75$ a pop)
*** On some corporate packages only, Bell offers a US roaming SMS package (not listed online) at 5$/month that offers 100 outgoing SMS (outgoing to Canada and US) and unlimited incoming SMS while roaming in the US. Outgoing SMS to e.g. Europe are charged at 0.25$/message under this package. Either call or use the "Chat with a rep" option on Bell's site to check what is available to you.
** Data:
*** No affordable option. Turn data off! ;-)

= Car rentals =

Any hints for good deals?

= Traveling around the city =

* The conference website has some great info on this topic:
** [http://2011.foss4g.org/content/getting-here Getting to the conference]
** [http://2011.foss4g.org/content/foss4g-map Interactive Map]
** [http://2011.foss4g.org/content/event-map Static Map]

== Denver B-Cycle ==

Denver B-Cycle has 24-hour passes available for $6 at a B-Cycle station or you can register online. (If you're spending some extra time in Denver, 7-day passes are $20.) The system has 51 stations and 510 bikes. There are stations within a block or so of the Sheraton (Glenarm Place & 15th St. and Broadway & E. 16th Ave.).

Once you get the pass, there are no further charges for rides of 30 minutes or less. Hop station to station for longer rides. Zoom in just a bit at [http://2011.foss4g.org/content/foss4g-map Jason Sanford's beautiful FOSS4G map] to see bike station locations.

Get a B-Cycle app (free) for either iPhone or Android. It tells you in realtime how many bikes are available at a station and how many open docks.

There is a station at Denver Union Station on Wynkoop St. near the Wynkoop Brewery. You could bike your way over and back to the opening night social event.

BYOH - Bring your own helmet. Denver does not require helmets when you ride a bike and B-Cycle doesn't provide them but does recommend that you wear one.

[http://denver.bcycle.com/ More info at the B-Cycle site] along with their map and [http://denver.bcycle.com/About/FAQs.aspx FAQ].

(From [[User:Just | Just van den Broecke]]) added B-Cycle station locations to GeoCommons: http://geocommons.com/overlays/154716 to load on your handheld GPS like I did.

FOSS4G 2011 Code Sprint

2011-07-26T16:46:36Z

Wiki-Bfischer:

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

[[Image:Code-sprint-foss4g2010.jpg|thumb|400px|FOSS4G 2010 code sprint, in Barcelona]]
A code sprint is about getting a group together to work on Open Source software, sitting around a table and sharing ideas. It's not just about writing code, as you know a project has many needs including documentation, testing, and providing feedback. What a better way to give feedback and give back to the project that you love than to spend a day with the project's developers. There are roles needed to be filled, no matter what your expertise.

With such a short timeframe (one day) you should probably use this page to set a specific goal for your project. But don't worry, if all you get done is actually sitting at the same table with the project's developers and talking about the next release, that is also great :)

== Venue ==

For map and more details see

*Date: '''Saturday September 17th, 2011''' (the day after the conference).
*Time: '''9am-5pm'''  ([http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?year=2011&month=9&day=17&hour=15&min=0&sec=0 timeandate]) 
*'''Where:''' [http://www.tivoli.org/tivoli/ Tivoli Student Union building] (a former brewery), Auraria Campus
[[Image:Tivoli-logo.jpg|150px]]

Tivoli Student Union
900 Auraria Parkway
Denver, CO
'''[http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=39.745249&lon=-105.005806&zoom=18&layers=M OSM map]'''

*'''Rooms: (each room has a 60-70 person capacity)'''
** room 440/540 (bilevel)
** room 640

== What to Bring ==

* power bars (only outlets for 30 computers exist)

== How to get there from the Sheraton ==

The easiest way to get there from the Sheraton is to catch the free shuttle bus along 16th Street to Larimer, then it's about a half mile walk from there (7-10 minutes) - just take a left on Larimer and keep going straight into the campus. More detail to come shortly on how to get to the exact rooms etc.

== Sponsor ==

Please! contact organizers: Rafael Moreno, or [[Jeff McKenna]]

== Questions/Comments/Ideas ==

* ask on the foss4g2011 mailing list ([http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/foss4g2011 subscribe])
