FOSS4G 2014 BirdsOfAFeather

2014-09-11T23:22:05Z

Wiki-Cphilipona: /* WebGL Geospatial */

= Introduction =
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self-organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

 
= BoF's at the Oregon Convention Center =
== General Information ==
During the [http://2014.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2014 conference] in Portland, USA, there will be a number of spaces for people to hold Birds of a Feather sessions.

 
The 1-hour time blocks outlined below are just general guidelines. Adjust as needed. For reference, an overview of the FOSS4G schedule is available at [https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/ https://2014.foss4g.org/about/calendar/].

 
=== Rooms ===
We have three rooms each day at the Convention Center: E146, E147, & E148. These rooms are dedicated spaces so BoF to your heart's content! Default room configuration will be long tables arranged a U-shape (although "contents may settle while BoF'ing"). The room capacities stated below are based off of that U configuration. We'll try to have some additional chairs available as well.

 
Technically the Exhibit Hall has room too. It will be arranged ballroom style with round tables. However, keep in mind it is a large, open, and public space. As such, it can't really be reserved, and is probably not ideal for a formal meeting (i.e. it could be noisy). In a nut shell, use at your own risk.

=== Capacities ===
* Room E146: 36
* Room E147: 18
* Room E148: 20

FOSS4G 2009 BirdsOfAFeather

2009-10-14T06:35:19Z

Wiki-Cphilipona: /* MapFish */

[[Category:FOSS4G]]
[[Category:FOSS4G2009]]

= Introduction =
During the [http://2009.foss4g.org/ FOSS4G2009 conference] in Sydney, Australia, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.

Birds-Of-A-Feather sessions are unstructured timeslots where people can self organise themselves to discuss topics of interest.

This year, Birds of a Feather sessions will be held on Thursday 22nd October.

A number of rooms are available. First ones in get the rooms.

==Organising Contact==
* Bruce Bannerman, Tyler Mitchell

==Timeslots Available==

At this stage, each room is scheduled for one hour between 1615 to 1715.

The rooms will be available for longer, however remember that the FOSS4G Harbour Cruise Dinner starts at 1900.

If we get a lot of demand, we may need to reduce the time that each room is available for.
This will allow us to share the resources between more people.

==Rooms Available==

* Parkside G01, capacity 70 people
* Parkside G02, capacity 70 people
* Parkside G03, capacity 80 people
* Parkside G04, capacity 170 people
* Parkside G05, capacity 50 people

Please note:

We are currently looking at additional options for places to run the BOF sessions in.

Rooms will be allocated to BOF sessions closer to the event.

= Timetable =
Below is a summary of the BOFs and when/where they will be run. Contact [[User:tmitchell|Tyler]] or [[User:Bruce.bannerman|Bruce]] for any questions or changes. '''Times and rooms may change''' - changes will be posted on announcement boards during the event.

= BOF organization =
You can use this page to organize your BOF session:
* create a section below for your BOF
* have people edit this page to indicate they will be attending
* if you need a bigger room than that which has been assigned to you, let [[User:tmitchell|Tyler]] or [[User:Bruce.bannerman|Bruce]] know
* you must provide a contact person who is managing the meeting
* also make your description as clear as possible, for many attendees it will be the only thing they read before choosing one

= BOF sessions =

== FOSS4G in Government ==

To start the ball rolling, seeing that everyone else is sitting back
and waiting for everyone else: some potential discussion points:

* '''[http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/government_it/open_source.aspx The UK Government's policy on Open Source]''' It would be good to get a UK person to talk to this.
* How can governments exploit open source spatial:
* Implement based on Open Standards.
* The GeoNetwork example where we all need a Metadata entry tool and catalogue.
** We all don't want to pay for the same development, but share / pool resources.
** how do we coordinate this work, while working sensitively with Open Source communities who own the code base and may not want to go in the same direction that we do. This includes issues relating to working with Project Steering Committees etc.
** We can't expect communities to do our work for free. Therefore we will need to either engage our own people or consultancies to do the work. The consultancies could come from within the community from anywhere around the world, until we build up our own local communities. This could create procurement problems.
* The need for governments to engage with Open Source communities at all levels, not just as developers.
* The need to allow employees to participate within OS Communities as part of their day to day jobs: i.e. we need to build up our technical skills.
* The need to treat OS on a level playing field with proprietary solutions. That will mean looking at the Solution life cycle (See the new UK OS policy).
* Experiences in other countries:
** What is working.
** What is not working.
* Given national and international experiences of all, what models will work for Governments to break down the perceived barriers and myths associated with FOSS
* A plan worth considering / discussion is a proposal by the South Australian Government to implement an Australian '''[http://www.cio.sa.gov.au/business/projects/open-technology-foundation/?searchterm=otf Open Technology Foundation]'''which is currently before Australian Governments, selected ICT / Open Technology Vendors and Academia for in principle support.
** Would a foundation acting as the 'common glue' assist in these endeavours
** focus on openness to improve interoperability, independence, resilience and flexibility in ICT operations
** Authorative registry of open technologies in use in Governments around Australia with appropriate learnings and contacts
** Facilitate sharing of resources, technologies and knowledge
** Link with existing programs underway nationally and internationally to share information to all
** Link with international Open Technology Groups

Who is coming:
* Bruce Bannerman
* Stephen Schmid

== PostGIS Users Group ==

* How are you using PostGIS?
* Want a beer?
* What features would make your life better?
* Want to buy the developers a beer?
* More fruitful topics gratefully accepted!

Who is coming:
* Paul Ramsey

== Marketing Geospatial Open Source ==
* How can we collaboratively market OSGeo?
* What marketing works for Geospatial Open Source Businesses?
* What tools, messages, guidelines can we put in place which will help us individually and collectively?

Who is coming:
* Cameron Shorter
* Jose Diacono

== INSPIRE Data Profile Support in FOSS4G ==

We want to discuss an approach towards the upcoming INSPIRE data specifications and how to best support them in our open source software. It is important for the FOSS community to come up with a story that is more than just "Yes that is possible but contract us first".
This BOF is to seek feedback from those of you that see the same need and to investigate if some work has already been done, seek input in how we would best approach this, if there are options for a Europe wide collaboration on this etcetera.

Questions and/or points of discussions are:
* Considering that clients would like to see a product that does some of the INSPIRE data conversions out of the box, how do you approach this when usually we only implement things after they have been contracted? (in contrast to proprietary software where often an investment is made that is earned back through licensing schemes)
* Have any application schema's already been implemented in some form by you in GEOFOSS?
* What tools have you used or do you want to use (e.g. ogr, Talend, deegree, GeoServer)
* How would we go about joined development, or maybe even joined investment etcetera?

Who is coming:
* Jeroen Ticheler

== MapServer Users Meeting ==

* How are you using MapServer?
* Want to have a beer with the developers?

Wiki-Cphilipona: /* Key Accomplishments */

== Camptocamp - The Open Source Base Camp ==

* Contact name: '''Claude Philipona'''

Based in Switzerland and France, [http://www.camptocamp.com Camptocamp] is an active editor and integrator of Open Source software specializing in Geospatial solutions, Business solutions and Infrastructure solutions. Our company offers a complete software service package including R&D, consulting, customized project development, training (certified training institution) and support. Our team consists of highly qualified and quality-driven professionals, who inspire, master and challenge Open Source solutions.

The involvement of Camptocamp and its employees in the development of Open Source projects is a constant commitment. As a company, we strive to make a difference by contributing to Open Source key communities and our engineers are committers and/or members of several projects committees ([http://www.geoext.org GeoExt], [http://geonetwork-opensource.org GeoNetwork], [http://postgis.refractions.net/ PostGIS], [http://www.mapfish.org MapFish], [http://mapserver.org/ MapServer], [http://openlayers.org/ OpenLayers], [http://www.spatialdataintegrator.com/ Spatial Data Integrator], and [http://udig.refractions.net/ Udig], to name a few).

=== Key Accomplishments ===
Throughout 2008, Camptocamp was pleased to witness the growing interest in [http://www.mapfish.org MapFish] by the community of users and developers. Subsequently, the MapFish community applied for the OSGeo incubation in September 2008. In collaboration with OpenGeo, Camptocamp also initiated the [http://www.geoext.org GeoExt] project in order to offer a standardized library for ExtJs-based GeoWidget. This project has experienced swift success and is garnering great interest within the geospatial community.

Several large customer projects started -or were completed- by our teams in 2008, providing the opportunity to improve and extend several pieces of software, undeniably bringing significant contributions to Open Source software such as [http://geonetwork-opensource.org GeoNetwork]. The most relevant projects were: 1) GeoCat.ch II: the development of the next generation geospatial catalog on behalf of the Swiss government, in collaboration with [http://www.geocat.net/ Geocat B.V] and the [http://www.brgm.fr/ BRGM], 2) GeoNetwork: used for the GeoSource project, a metadata catalog for local government agencies, built in collaboration with the BRGM.

Another important accomplishment for Camptocamp in 2008 was the development of a customized spatial data infrastructure solution on behalf of the UNHCR (United Nations Refugee Agency), using several Open Source components (Spatial Data Integrator, MapFish/OpenLayers, GeoNetwork) and enabling the integrated management of geographical information for camp mapping and UNHCR data.

Seminars, workshops, training sessions and demo events to promote the use of Open Source geoinformatics in GIS projects are regularly organized in France and Switzerland by our team of experts. Camptocamp is proud to support collaborative developments of open geospatial technologies and to be an active player in the promotion of OSGeo and FOSS in Europe. With OSGeo Francophone chapter, we organized the Open Source Village at the Geo Evènement conference in Paris, France. Our company is also a loyal participant to several national and international conferences as an exhibitor and/or a speaker.

Camptocamp believes that the synergies and joint efforts within the OSGeo to built community-led projects are great opportunities to show that high-quality Open Source GIS tools can be developed by all and be available to all.

OSGeo4W

2008-11-20T22:49:16Z

Wiki-Cphilipona: /* Participants */

== Introduction==

'''Migrated to http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/'''

This page discusses the OSGeo Binary Distribution (OSGeo4W) and Installer of software for MS Windows. It is a specific case of the [[OSGeo Binary Distribution]].

Try [http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe OSGeo4W] now!

== Communication / Coordination ==

Mailing list: osgeo4w-dev@lists.osgeo.org ([http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/osgeo4w-dev Subscribe], [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo4w-dev/ Archive])

Bugs: [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/newticket Create Ticket], [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&order=priority Open Tickets]

== Goals ==

* Include a wide variety of OSGeo packages.
* Painless installation
* Select desired packages only, and pull in dependencies automatically.
* Focused on Win32 (NT/XP/Vista) with limited support for Win64.

== Targetted Packages ==

In the following context ''committed'' means we are planning to include this item, and have someone willing to do the work. ''desired'' implies we are interested in including it, but no one is committed to doing it.

* MapServer (committed, Jeff)
** MapServer CGI (committed, Jeff)
** PHP MapScript (committed, Jeff)
** Python MapScript (desired)
** Perl Mapscript (desired)
* GDAL (committed, Mateusz)
** Python bindings (desired)
** Perl bindings (committed, Ari)
** Plugin Drivers: ECW, OCI, SDE, MrSID, etc (desired)
* PostGIS/Postgres (desired) (Mark Cave-Ayland?)
* pgAdminIII/phppgadmin (desired)
* Mapbender (committed, Astrid)
* Mapbuilder (desired)
* OpenLayers (desired)
* WinGRASS (desired) (Marco Pasetti?) (Tcl/Tk)
* Qt (VC9 upload pending, Jürgen Fischer) (for OSSIM, and QGIS)
* Quantum GIS (VC9 upload pending, Jürgen Fischer) - depends on Qt.
* OSSIM (desired) - depends on Qt.
* R (desired)
* FDO (desired)
* MapGuide Open Source (desired) - depends on FDO
* [http://geoinformatics.tkk.fi/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeoinformaticaSoftware Geoinformatica stack] (contains GTK, Perl, GDAL, GDAL-Perl, GTK-Perl, etc) (committed, Ari)
* uDig
* Mapnik (desired) (D. Springmeyer interested in helping)
* MapFish (work in progress should be available by end of 2008)

More detailed information on specific packages is available on the [[OSGeo4W Packages]] wiki page.

== Participants ==

(interested package maintainers please add your name below!)

* Jeff McKenna: MS4W Maintainer (includes Apache, PHP, Chameleon, MapServer 5.0 demo, Gmap, ka-Map, OpenLayers packages)
* Frank Warmerdam: FWTools
* Mateusz Loskot: maintain GDAL related components
* Yewondwossen Assefa: MapServer core (including Fusion and ms_ogc_workshop packages)
* Ari Jolma: Geoinformatica stack
* Tamas Szekeres: GDAL C#, MapScript C#, Win64 packages
* Astrid Emde: Mapbender
* Andrea Antonello: java, uDig
* Brian Fischer: GeoMOOSE
* Steve Lime: dBox
* Jeroen Ticheler: GeoNetwork
* Mike Adair: Community Mapbuilder
* Eduin Carrillo: FIST
* Eduin Carrillo: PhpPgAdmin
* Jürgen Fischer: Quantum GIS (and missing dependencies like Qt)
* Dane Springmeyer: Mapnik (Will benefit from python 25, boost will be tricky)
* Eric Lemoine: MapFish

== Status ==

* a Cygwin Setup derived network installer has been selected for use, though it will be modified for a simplified expressed install: ([http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe working prototype]) The installer lives at http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/osgeo4w/setup and is mostly maintained by Frank and Assefa.
* A preliminary pass has been made on a variety of [[OSGeo4W Packages]]. Some will need revision and many more will need to be added based on [[OSGeo4W Packaging]].

== Plans ==

* Hoping to have a reasonable stable "OSGeo4W 2008" ready for wide use by May 2008.
* select a Project Steering Committee
* longer term: enter incubation as an OSGeo project

== Build Environment ==

Each package is built individually on the packager's machine, and then uploaded. There is no need for complete consistency in development environments. So packages might be built with MSVC 6, 7.1, 8, 9, MSYS/MingW and possibly even other compilers. Mixing compilers may be problematic for C++ interfaces, but is generally fine for C interfaces.

Packages used as libraries by other packages should have include files, and stub libraries in the package so the OSGeo4W tree can be used as a "buildkit" for additional packages.

== Versions ==

* must pick our supported version of Java, perl, PHP, Python, etc. to use throughout installer buildkit

OpenRouter

2008-11-08T07:46:59Z

Wiki-Cphilipona: /* Testing */

== Open Source Router ==

For those not familiar with the concept, routing provides the path between two locations. Often there can be criteria considered such as time, cost, and so forth.

===Project Purpose===

The intention of this project is to work towards creation of open source software providing routing capability.

===Design goals===

Desired attributes:
* Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)
* Architected and designed for performance
* Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others

===Relevant Existing Open Source Technologies===

* [http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/ pgRouting]
* GRASS GIS v.net.* modules see:
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.html - Vector maintenance
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.path.html - Shortest path
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.salesman.html - Traveling salesman (round trip)
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.alloc.html - Allocation of sources (create subnetworks)
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.steiner.html - Minimum Steiner trees (star-like connections)
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.visibility.html - Visibility graph construction
** http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.net.iso.html - Iso-distances (from centers)

===Target Licensing===

* Preference for a liberal license to encourage adoption by maximum number of technologies both proprietary and open source
