=== GDAL - Integration of GDAL utilities into GDAL core library ===
Faza Mahamood ([https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9gY4JeBmoKVZ2REcjcwVnl1Nk0/view?usp=sharing Picture])
* Mentor: Even Rouault
* There is a need for calling GDAL utilities from code without involving system calls, to be able to work on in-memory datasets and use progress/cancellation callback functions.
* Before, inorder to use any functionalities of GDAL utilities in a program, the developer had to use system calls. Even then, the developer cannot work with in memory datasets.
* Now, the developers can easily have all the functionalities of GDAL utilities through dedicated functions which are part of GDAL core library. There is no system call involved and it works on in-memory datasets.
* Project: https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc59.1_utilities_as_a_library

=== GRASS GIS - Improved Metadata for GRASS GIS ===
Matej Krejci ([http://tinyurl.com/pp69bwd Picture])
* Mentors: Martin Landa, Angelos Tzotsos, Luca Delucchi
* Description: The first aim was to improve current package by adding a new functionality for extend metadata handling. The second goal was to implement module for interaction with metadata catalogue services (CSW).
* State of the project before GSoC: In 2014 during GSoC I have developed new GRASS GIS metadata management support based on ISO-INSPIRE. This package needed extension to meet the users requirements. In addition package for CSW searching was missing.
* Addition to the project: New module g.gui.cswbrowser based on graphical interface allows managing csw connections, setting filter and searching, browsing results and adding services to GRASS GIS have been implemented. For g.gui.metadata have been added support: exporting metadata reports to pdf, storing themes of metadata in SQL backend, publishing metadata to CSW and metadata support for Temporal datasets.

=== gvSIG - Port Network Analysis Extension to gvSIG 2.x branch ===

Eva Rodríguez [https://www.linkedin.com/in/evamrodriguez Picture]

* Mentors: Joaquín José del Cerro, Fran Peñarrubia

* Description: The aim was to develop a plugin to migrate all features of route calculation from the 1.* gvSIG version to the latest one.

These are the main tasks:

 - Route management to get the shortest path

 - Optimizing the order of stops on a route

 - Calculation of service areas

 - Location of the nearest event

 - Calculate matrices Origin - Destination

 - Calculation of minimum spanning tree

* State of the project before GSoC: All of this functionality does not exists into 2.* gvSIG version.

* Now, users can use some functionality that esited in the 1.* gvSIG version.

=== istSOS - Scalability for Big data processing for istSOS ===

Ambrosini Luca ([https://www.dropbox.com/sc/z3twbb6zicslvy2/AAC43ZE3JYy_JCAiLEGoOstIa Picture])

* Mentors: Massimiliano Cannata, Milan Antonovic

* Brief description of the idea : istSOS is essentially a data collector, it wasn't ready for BigData, the idea was to implement data replication to improve security, online time and performance.

* The state of the project before GSOS : All data were hosted on a single postgres db, and there wasn't a tool that helps finding this implementation limits.

* The addition that your project brought to the software : We adapted the source code to work with replications, we set up a middleware that balances query among multiple database server, and we realized a benchmarking tool to test system response time and its scaling .

=== JGrassTools - Development of a simplified 1D hydraulics model ===
Silvia Franceschi ([https://sites.google.com/a/hydrologis.com/home/_/rsrc/1348641375730/silviafranceschi/silli.jpg?height=320&width=234 Picture])
* Mentors: Andrea Antonello, Riccardo Rigon
* Description: The module developed during this GSoC2015 is SaintGeo, a simple 1D hydraulic model based on the equations of Saint Venant.
* State of the project before GSoC: There was an original implementation of the model in C language done during a master thesis by Angelo Zacchia and Riccardo Rigon. I did the porting in the JGrassTools library of the model together with the implementation of the code for reading and writing GIS layers as input and outputs.
* Addition to the project: The new model bases on GIS input layers instead of text files and has a graphical interface, directly provided by the integration in the JGrassTools library to specify the inputs and outputs files.

=== Mapserver - Add productivity tools to MapServer's ScribeUI ===
Samuel Lapointe ([https://goo.gl/photos/LbSwPeMrCG5V2K9t8 Picture])
* Mentors: Daniel Morissette; Jessica Lapointe
* Description: The goal of the project was to improve the error detection system, add the ability to export and import maps and add a way to generate a set of classes from data.
* State of the project before GSoC: When I wanted to debug a map that didn’t work, I had to check the generated Mapserver file to find the error. To create classes from a set of data, I had to analyse the data and create the classes using bounds I had manually calculated, and the only way to export a map was to use Git.
* Addition to the project: Now, I can see most syntax errors directly in the editor’s interface, I can use a menu to generate classes for a layer and I can export or import maps to share them with other users.

=== Opticks – Image Enhancement/Background Suppression ===
Tom Van den Eynde ([https://goo.gl/photos/DKwS7Fq4ZWEmHfR46 Picture])
* Mentors: Trevor Clarke
* Brief description of the idea: The goal of the project was to implement the image enhancement algorithm Drizzle for both image and video input.
* The state of the project as it was before GSoC: In Opticks, when I wanted to use a low resolution image I had to resort to other software to first improve the quality or reduce the noise interference.
* The addition to the software: With the addition of the Drizzle algorithm, Opticks can enhance and improve the interpretability of images. Now, even low resolution or heavily noise polluted images can be used for various remote sensing applications.

=== Osgeo-Live - Integration of geospatial OSS in educational notebooks ===
Massimo Di Stefano ([http://tw.rpi.edu/media/latest/Massimo_Di_Stefano.jpg Picture])
* '''Mentors: Cameron Shorter, Rich Signell, Angelos Tzotsos'''
* '''Brief description of the idea:'''This GSoC 2015 Idea will focus on the development of a cross-projects python library with the aim of bridging together the several software libraries already installed on the live through the use of the Jupyter notebook server in a series of "topic-oriented" geospatial notebooks.
* '''The state of the project as it was BEFORE this GSoC:''' before this GSoC there was no jupyter-notebook installed and very limited set of example based on the IPython-notebook.
* '''Addition to the software:''' After GSOC 2015 an installer for the jupyter-notebook has ben developed (enabling multiple kernels [py2, py3, R, Bash, Julia]) and a series of geospatial notebooks to show the usage of several project like GDAL, OSSIM, GRASS has been added. The project also included the building on Debian packages for the jupyter single user ecosystem and the collaborative development of widget for interactive visualization of geospatial data from a notebook ([https://github.com/epifanio/CesiumWidget CesiumWidget])

=== OSSIM - Tool for DSM generation using tri-stereo optical imagery ===
Martina Di Rita (You can find a [https://www.dropbox.com/s/59dfmpz8kwapmsf/2015-12-03%2015.54.15.jpg?dl=0 picture of me])
* '''Mentors:''' Oscar Kramer, David Burken
* '''Brief description of the idea:''' the work has been based on a previous GSoC project through which a tool, named DATE, for Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation from optical stereo-pair was developed within OSSIM framework. The idea was to improve and update DATE in order to generate DSMs from tri-stereo optical imagery and fix some bugs in the DSMs generation processing chain. DATE key features include the use of computer vision algorithms in order to improve the processing efficiency and make the DSMs generation process fully automatic.
* '''The state of the project as it was BEFORE this GSoC:''' before this GSoC it was not possible to process tri-stereo imagery and there was still some problem in finding the right quasi-epipolar geometry in the stereo version in order to compute a proper Disparity Map.
* '''Addition to the software:''' with DATE plug-in it is now possible to generate DSMs within OSSIM framework starting from stereo and tri-stereo satellite optical imagery. Furthermore, from the stereo processing side, I added an image preprocess filtering and I found a better solution for the quasi-epipolar geometry achievement.

=== pgRouting - New osm2pgrouting import tool to import OpenStreetMap (OSM) data in pgRouting ===
Sarthak Agarwal
* Mentors: Daniel Kastl, Vicky Vergara
* Brief description of the idea: The idea for this year GSOC project was to update the existing osm2pgRouting tool which helps users to import open source osm data into pgRouting database tables.
* The state of the project as it was BEFORE this GSoC: Before the gsoc project the tool lack support for boost library and the code was to be refactored and commented. The code was not documented and the tool on a whole needed documentation(WIKI pages)
* Addition to the software: After GSOC 2015 support for boost library such as boost.program_options and boost.geometry has been added to the software. Now user can give options in any order while running the software and boost will do the parsing. The code was not commented and refactored, which was updated. Several wiki pages are added to better understand the tags used for routing present in osm data and all the attributes related to those tags. The link to the wiki page can be found below.

=== PyWPS-4 – REST Interface ===
Calin Cristian Nicolae Ciociu ([http://i.imgur.com/WglCPnz.jpg Picture])
* Mentors: Jachym Cepicky, Luís de Sousa
* Brief description of the idea: My project added the ability to use a REST interface to control, add, remove processes and change configuration of PyWPS-4 instances.
* The state of the project as it was before GSoC: We had to create/delete the processes by accessing the storage of the server which required a restart of the server every time something got changed.
* The addition to the software: With the addition of the REST interface I wrote everyone who needs to update, delete, or add new processes and change configuration can do so without accessing the server.

Marcus Santos ([https://media.licdn.com/media/AAEAAQAAAAAAAATOAAAAJDA1Y2M0MWQ0LTMyYjMtNDlhMi05OWM3LWIxMDQ5YWM1ZTk2MA.jpg Picture])
* Mentors: Victor Olaya, Alexander Bruy
* Description: This project consisted on making the QGIS Processing toolbox multi-threaded, allowing to have non blocking analysis/geoprocessing jobs, prevent crashes (when a QGIS module crashes for some reason) and also improve the user experience.
* The state of the project GSoC: Before the multithreading support, the user was only able to run one analysis at a time and there was no option to cancel the algorithm execution.
* The addition to the project: With multithreading support the user is allowed to cancel long geoprocessing jobs and also run several algorithms at the same time.

* State of the project before GSoC: When I wanted to debug a map that didn’t work, I had to check the generated Mapserver file to find the error. To create classes from a set of data, I had to analyse the data and create the classes using bounds I had manually calculated, and the only way to export a map was to use Git.
* Addition to the project: Now, I can see most syntax errors directly in the editor’s interface, I can use a menu to generate classes for a layer and I can export or import maps to share them with other users.

=== Opticks – Image Enhancement/Background Suppression ===
Tom Van den Eynde ([https://goo.gl/photos/DKwS7Fq4ZWEmHfR46 Picture])
* Mentors: Trevor Clarke
* Brief description of the idea: The goal of the project was to implement the image enhancement algorithm Drizzle for both image and video input.
* The state of the project as it was before GSoC: In Opticks, when I wanted to use a low resolution image I had to resort to other software to first improve the quality or reduce the noise interference.
* The addition to the software: With the addition of the Drizzle algorithm, Opticks can enhance and improve the interpretability of images. Now, even low resolution or heavily noise polluted images can be used for various remote sensing applications.

Massimo Di Stefano ([http://tw.rpi.edu/media/latest/Massimo_Di_Stefano.jpg Picture])
* '''Mentors: Cameron Shorter, Rich Signell, Angelos Tzotsos'''
* '''Brief description of the idea:'''This GSoC 2015 Idea will focus on the development of a cross-projects python library with the aim of bridging together the several software libraries already installed on the live through the use of the Jupyter notebook server in a series of "topic-oriented" geospatial notebooks.
* '''The state of the project as it was BEFORE this GSoC:''' before this GSoC there was no jupyter-notebook installed and very limited set of example based on the IPython-notebook.
* '''Addition to the software:''' After GSOC 2015 an installer for the jupyter-notebook has ben developed (enabling multiple kernels [py2, py3, R, Bash, Julia]) and a series of geospatial notebooks to show the usage of several project like GDAL, OSSIM, GRASS has been added. The project also included the building on Debian packages for the jupyter single user ecosystem and the collaborative development of widget for interactive visualization of geospatial data from a notebook ([https://github.com/epifanio/CesiumWidget CesiumWidget])

=== OSSIM - Tool for DSM generation using tri-stereo optical imagery ===
Martina Di Rita (You can find a [https://www.dropbox.com/s/59dfmpz8kwapmsf/2015-12-03%2015.54.15.jpg?dl=0 picture of me])
* '''Mentors:''' Oscar Kramer, David Burken
* '''Brief description of the idea:''' the work has been based on a previous GSoC project through which a tool, named DATE, for Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation from optical stereo-pair was developed within OSSIM framework. The idea was to improve and update DATE in order to generate DSMs from tri-stereo optical imagery and fix some bugs in the DSMs generation processing chain. DATE key features include the use of computer vision algorithms in order to improve the processing efficiency and make the DSMs generation process fully automatic.
* '''The state of the project as it was BEFORE this GSoC:''' before this GSoC it was not possible to process tri-stereo imagery and there was still some problem in finding the right quasi-epipolar geometry in the stereo version in order to compute a proper Disparity Map.
* '''Addition to the software:''' with DATE plug-in it is now possible to generate DSMs within OSSIM framework starting from stereo and tri-stereo satellite optical imagery. Furthermore, from the stereo processing side, I added an image preprocess filtering and I found a better solution for the quasi-epipolar geometry achievement.

=== pgRouting - New osm2pgrouting import tool to import OpenStreetMap (OSM) data in pgRouting ===
Sarthak Agarwal
* Mentors: Daniel Kastl, Vicky Vergara
* Brief description of the idea: The idea for this year GSOC project was to update the existing osm2pgRouting tool which helps users to import open source osm data into pgRouting database tables.
* The state of the project as it was BEFORE this GSoC: Before the gsoc project the tool lack support for boost library and the code was to be refactored and commented. The code was not documented and the tool on a whole needed documentation(WIKI pages)
* Addition to the software: After GSOC 2015 support for boost library such as boost.program_options and boost.geometry has been added to the software. Now user can give options in any order while running the software and boost will do the parsing. The code was not commented and refactored, which was updated. Several wiki pages are added to better understand the tags used for routing present in osm data and all the attributes related to those tags. The link to the wiki page can be found below.

* Mentors: Jachym Cepicky, Luís de Sousa
* Brief description of the idea: My project added the ability to use a REST interface to control, add, remove processes and change configuration of PyWPS-4 instances.
* The state of the project as it was before GSoC: We had to create/delete the processes by accessing the storage of the server which required a restart of the server every time something got changed.
* The addition to the software: With the addition of the REST interface I wrote everyone who needs to update, delete, or add new processes and change configuration can do so without accessing the server.

Wiki-Fpenarru: /* Port Network Analysis Extension to gvSIG 2.x branch */

Use this page to jot down and develop any good idea for the [[Google Summer of Code 2015]] program with gvSIG project. Please, use the gvSIG mailing lists for discussion and check [[Google Summer of Code 2014]] [[GvSIG GSoC 2013 Ideas|2013]], [[GvSIG GSoC 2012 Ideas|2012]], [[GvSIG GSoC 2011 Ideas|2011]], [[GvSIG GSoC 2010 Ideas|2010]], [[GvSIG GSoC 2009 Ideas|2009]] ideas pages for examples or reference.

__TOC__

== Add OpenCL support with Aparapi for Geoprocessing in gvSIG desktop ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''': If applicable
* '''Possible student''': Anish Chandran

[https://code.google.com/p/aparapi/ Aparapi] is a library which allows Java developers to take advantage of the compute power of GPU and APU devices by executing data parallel code fragments on the GPU rather than being confined to the local CPU. It does this by converting Java bytecode to OpenCL at runtime and executing on the GPU, if for any reason Aparapi can't execute on the GPU it will execute in a Java thread pool.

Large amounts of geographic data-processing might be involved in the execution of a geoprocess. And many geoprocessing algorithms are suitable to be converted to parallel code, allowing for much better execution performance and capacity.

The objective would be to integrate the Aparapi library in gvSIG, so it might be used in the development of new parallel geoprocessing algorithms which take advantage of current GPUs. Also some geoprocesses would have to be developed or converted to use the Aparapi library to check the benefits and the proper operation of the idea.

== Port Network Analysis Extension to gvSIG 2.x branch ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Mentors''': Joaquín del Cerro, Fran Peñarrubia
* '''Student''': Eva Rodríguez

Port gvSIG Network Analysis Extension from 1.12 release to the new 2.x branch.

Network Analysis extension allows to calculate routes, service areas, origin - destination matrices, connectivity analysis... It supports speeds for several vehicles, barriers, turn costs, etc.

The goal of this project is to create a plugin in 2.x branch with the same functionalities than the original Network Extension. To do so, the new DAL (Data Access Layer should be used)

Skills needed: Java, Eclipse development. Some notions about Maven would be interesting.

== CartoDB plugin for gvSIG desktop ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Mentors''': Óscar Martínez, Joaquín del Cerro
* '''Student''': Juan Luis Gómez

[http://cartodb.com/ CartoDB] is a Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud computing platform that provides GIS and web mapping tools for display in a web browser.

It will allow to view, create, edit or delete data from CartoDB accounts using gvSIG Desktop.

== Add tests and educational games support to gvSIG Educa ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Mentors''': Óscar Martínez, Francisco Díaz
* '''Student''': Carlos Colombana

The objective would be to extend the thematic maps support already available to allow to design and play tests and educational games, to be used in geography and maps learning.

== Expand the capabilities of Jython scripting for gvSIG Desktop ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''':
* '''Possible students''': Sandeep Kumar

Expand the capabilities of Jython scripting in gvSIG Desktop as geoprocessing, reports,...

== Integrating R library into gvSIG Desktop ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''':

== Add OpenCL support with Aparapi for Geoprocessing in gvSIG desktop ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''': Cèsar Ordiñana
* '''Possible student''': Paula Navarro

[https://code.google.com/p/aparapi/ Aparapi] is a library which allows Java developers to take advantage of the compute power of GPU and APU devices by executing data parallel code fragments on the GPU rather than being confined to the local CPU. It does this by converting Java bytecode to OpenCL at runtime and executing on the GPU, if for any reason Aparapi can't execute on the GPU it will execute in a Java thread pool.

== Extend Raster Support in Scripting Framework in gvSIG ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''':
* '''Possible student''': Sandeep Kumar

'''1. Introduction'''

gvSIG Scripting Framework is a small environment for development and execution of scripts that interact with the application.These scripts allow us to automate small tasks or add some functionality that we need and that we can implement. This feature helps the developers to test their implementations locally with much less effort.

'''2. Background'''

At this moment, using Scripting Framework one can load raster layer and perform some filtering operations. This was implemented as part of GSoC 2013 idea [https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2013/kumarsandeep2357/6526151266664448 Add Raster Format to Scripting in gvSIG]

'''3. Idea'''

This idea concentrates on extending the capabilities of Jython Scripting in gvSIG Desktop. A lot of Raster functions like histogram analysis, flow direction analysis, geoprocessing etc., which stand as a major advantage of using Raster data should be implemented in Scripting Framework.

Filtering of raster images is one of the key feature of image analysis. As of now, the filtering operations consume lots of time even on small images. This can be optimized by making use of the already implemented gvSIG kernels from Java.

As of now, one can load .tiff files using Scripting Framework. This should be extended such that one can load .ecw, .jp2 files. Loading a layer in a tiled way, loading WMS and WCS layers, getting the ROI of a layer as a vector layer etc., should be implemented.

== Port Network Analysis Extension to gvSIG 2.x branch ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''': [[User:Fpenarru| Francisco José Peñarrubia]]
* '''Possible students''': David Pinheiro, Vicente Caballero, Sandeep Kumar, Dragos Dragomir

Port gvSIG Network Analysis Extension from 1.12 release to the new 2.x branch.

Network Analysis extension allows to calculate routes, service areas, origin - destination matrices, connectivity analysis... It supports speeds for several vehicles, barriers, turn costs, etc.

Improvement: Use GraphHopper [http://graphhopper.com/] library to use new algorithm Contraction Hierarchies (much faster) when calculating routes.

Skills needed: Java, Eclipse development. Some notions about Maven would be interesting.

== SHP format support for gvSIG Mini ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Mini
* '''Possible mentor''': Daniel Gastón
* '''Possible student''': Miguel Sotelo

'''1. Introduction'''

By integrating the OGR library into gvSIG Mini we could get access several vector formats including the widespread SHP format so much demanded by the gvSIG Mini users. OGR offers us the perfect platform to implement demanding format transformations and the corresponding file format outputs as many desktop GIS application already do.

'''2. Background'''

At this moment, gvSIG gets access to a reduced list of file formats and transformations.

'''3. The idea'''

The main idea behind this project is about integrating the OGR library into gvSIG Mini. The OGR library provides several capabilities for simple features vector data; however it should be mentioned that OGR is also part of the GDAL source tree, so that by integrating OGR we do integrate GDAL as well, getting access to GDAL raster capabilities(for future developments). This proposal improves the application interoperability, and in general terms, the supported range of geoprocesses and transformations.

Once the solution is adapted and compiled, we would proceed to adapt and connect the full OGR data model with the data model gvSIG works with and provide full support to the SHP format. The implementation is intended to be done in a way future formats supports are easily developed.

== Add XLS file format support to gvSIG Desktop 2.x (read only) ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''': Joaquín del Cerro
* '''Possible student''': Manuel Madrid

The idea is about adding to gvSIG Desktop 2.x a new data provider for reading XLS files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets). Taking into account that the latests versions of Microsoft Excel don't support DBF file format (the most common table format used in gvSIG) this feature would facilitate the data transfer from MS Excel to gvSIG.

== Geoprocesses Access from the Scripting Framework in gvSIG Desktop 2.x ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''': Joaquín del Cerro
* '''Possible student''': Óscar Martínez Olmos

Since the last version, you can write your own Python scripts inside gvSIG 2.x using the new Scripting Framework. Now, when you create your script, you have a lot of functions available, but you don't have access to the Geoprocesses that already exist in gvSIG.

The idea is extend the capabilities of this module and create the link between Scripting and Geoprocesses for have access to powerfool tools, who can be even more usefull when you use it inside your own script. ArcPy (ArcGIS) have a similar funcion, with gvsig, you will call one geoprocess in your script with a code similar like this:

Gvsig_Disolve("layer1.shp","AREA",0,0,fields, "C:/gvsig/disolve.shp")

Also, if a have time, i would like to incorporate the option to insert scripts inside the gvSIG Model Builder, you could create greater tasks.

== Summary ==
As at May 2013, OGC members have been asked to decide whether to accept the "GeoServices REST API" as an OGC standard. This is a contentious issue, with many people arguing that introduction of the “GeoServices REST API” will have costly, far reaching, negative impacts on interoperability, and significantly tarnish the OGC's reputation as a champion of interoperability.

The key points of contention revolve around the fact that the proposed "GeoServices REST API" does not build upon or extend existing OGC standards, but rather addresses similar requirements using an alternative API. In particular, the overlap and/or duplication of existing standards is widespread: OGC's core standards of WMS, WMTS, WFS, SE/SLD, WCS, CS/W are all duplicated to a significant extent. This defeats the purpose of having standards in the first place.

Duplication of standards 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. Backward compatibility to the existing WxS standards is important in this respect.
# Given backwards compatibility with the ESRI Restful implementation is mandated, this is not an Open Standard, and should not be ratified as if it was.

* 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.
* 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. ?

== Commercial Concerns ==

* Promoting standards from an existing implementation made by a single vendor leads to an obvious bias in competition.
* Supporting multiple overlapping standards greatly reduces usability while it increases complexity and cost of development and maintenance.
* 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.
* Confusing customers with new, overlapping OGC standards will lower the credibility of companies and of OGC, reducing business opportunities.

== Technical Concerns ==

* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* At least as far as "imagery" is concerned, OGC standards arguably are substantially more mature, powerful, flexible, and modular then the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" Part 6 (and some design principles suggest that scalability may be hampered as well):
** data model:
*** the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" appears constrained to 2-D imagery, plus optional time stamps. OGC has established a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverage_data unified coverage model] which fully supports n-D spatio-temporal data. It allows use and exchange of coverages between different services, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Coverage_Service WCS], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Coverage_Processing_Service WCPS], WPS, and SWE.
*** OGC coverages support both regular and irregular grids; the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" supports only regular grids, more specifically: only rectified grids with quadrilateral pixels.
*** the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" lacks support for temporal data; it only offers timestamps, measured in milliseconds; this is inconvenient for users and immediately excludes, e.g., geological dates. OGC has established uniform handling of horizontal, vertical, and temporal coordinate reference systems (CRSs), following a deep consensus process with GIS science and backwards compatible with EPSG. The ESRI "Geoservice REST API" specific way of handling coordinates is not known to support this, thereby excluding appropriate timeseries handling in remote sensing, air traffic, MetOcean, etc.
*** OGC coverages provide a concise, versatile model for supporting different binary formats; the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" supports only very few selected 2-D formats, excluding, e.g., JPEG2000, NetCDF, HDF, etc.
*** the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" lacks a clear model of their data structures, it can be deduced only implicitly from the operation mechanics.
** service model:
*** The ESRI "Geoservice REST API" Part 6 lacks conciseness, thereby opening up ways for implementations that are not interoperable. For developers of alternative implementations this may mean they have to acquire ESRI licenses for finding out the intended behavior.
*** Functionality in the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" appears randomly chosen, with no clear concept visible; this burdens implementers while still leaving holes of functionality. For example, this functionality appears restricted to mapping applications and does not easily extend into other domains.
*** It has been said that the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" can be seen as a "wrapper around OGC W*S" services. This is not true for WCS (and WCPS), at least: the ESRI "Geoservice REST API" Part 6 is too poor in functionality and too different in mechanics to accomplish this.
** 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. Therefore, Part 6 of the ESRI "Geoservice REST API", if to become a standard, needs to be discussed in the WCS.SWG for harmonization, clarification, and improvement.

== Methodological Concerns ==

* 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.
* ESRI/OGC have specifically [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2013-May/011659.html rejected requests] to openly share their justifications document being selectively sent to OGC voters.

Wiki-Fpenarru: /* OSGeo projects and their efforts towards INSPIRE */

Coordination of activities of OSGeo projects at INSPIRE Conference

== Links ==

* [http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/events/conferences/inspire_2013/ Conference page]

== Deadlines ==

* March 15, 2013 Deadline for submitting paper and workshops proposals (extension given from March 1)
* March 29 2013 Deadline for submitting poster proposals

== Presentation and workshop ==

On this page, two separate events are discussed: a proposal for a presentation, and a proposal for a workshop.

The purpose of the presentation is to give a good overview of INSPIRE-readiness of the OSGeo projects, with an intended audience of general users.

The workshop, on the other hand, aims to give a quick overview of each (represented) OSGeo project and where it stands in relation to the INSPIRE technical guidelines, followed by a round-table dialog between OSGeo developers and JRC INSPIRE Technical Committee members about issues raised.

Please note that if you like to participate in both events, each has its own list of participants. If you're enlisting as a participant this would imply further commitment, e.g. to assist in the preparation of slides and paper and if possible, presence at the conference as a speaker.

== Paper proposal ==

Generic talk about OSGeo projects and their relation to INSPIRE.

=== OSGeo projects and their efforts towards INSPIRE ===

''The abstract should not exceed two A4 pages.''

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, or OSGeo, is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open source geospatial software, data and education. The foundation provides organizational, legal and financial support to the broader open source geospatial community. It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit. OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial community, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration.

Since the earliest beginning of INSPIRE open source developers have been involved with implementing systems which eventually have to satisfy INSPIRE requirements. Users have requested new features and capabilities to enable their software packages to address requirements resulting from the INSPIRE directive. Developers in turn and have given feeback technical feedback to the makers of the directive. As a result INSPIRE over time has evolved into an implementable real-world architecture.

Many members of the OSGeo development teams are located in Europe, and many of them are actively involved in implementing INSPIRE services and geo-portals. There has been a lot of volunteered and financial contribution to OSGeo projects to help implement the official INSPIRE specifications. With the help of many testers, users and community members, OSGeo projects are offering better INSPIRE support year after year.

This presentation is focused on the introduction of various popular OSGeo projects, which are used for particular tasks within the INSPIRE infrastructure. The presentation will reference certified OSGeo projects as well as projects from the broader OSGeo ecosystem which have not passed the incubation process yet. Each project will summarize the achievements over the last year of development with respect to INSPIRE and include a short report on future development. This will provide a comprehensive overview of features in the OSGeo community pipeline which will have direct impact on their usage for INSPIRE.

'''Keywords:''' OSGeo, Open Source, MapServer, GeoServer, OpenLayers, deegree, Mapbender, GDAL, GeoNetwork, pycsw, OSGeoLive, NASA World Wind, Mapbender, GRASS, Quantum GIS, gvSIG, '''add more here'''

== Workshop proposal ==
The proposing team suggests to implement this workshop in a barcamp style within the conference. This will probably attract a more diverse group of people and allow for more dynamic communication which is one of the most important aspects requried to really get INSPIRE implemented. The aim is to get developers and project leads from OSGeo and professionals involved with INSPIRE around one table and shed light on each other's world.

From the conference website:

''Pre-conference workshops will take place on the 23/24 June. Each workshop or tutorial may be proposed for a single 90-minute session. A typical conference participant may register for up to four 90-minute workshops or tutorials during the workshop day. All workshops and tutorials will be open to all conference participants at no additional cost, however a daily fee will be charged for those attending workshops only.''

The Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) is a not-for-profit international organization, created in early 2006 to the aim of supporting the collaborative development of geospatial open source software, and promote its widespread use. The foundation provides financial, organizational and legal support to the broader open source geospatial community. It also serves as an independent legal entity to which community members can contribute code, funding and other resources, secure in the knowledge that their contributions will be maintained for public benefit.

OSGeo also serves as an outreach and advocacy organization for the open source geospatial community, and provides a common forum and shared infrastructure for improving cross-project collaboration. The foundation's projects are all freely available and useable under an OSI-certified open source license.

OSGeo is an umbrella for high quality open source geospatial applications providing the full range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysing and manipulating data.

In the first part (60 minutes) of the workshop, of the duration of 90 minutes, a series of short presentations will be given, in which the lead developers of various software communities will relate their projects to INSPIRE, pointing out the relevant capabilities as well as the issues deriving from the current version of the directive. The second part (30 minutes) will be dedicated to the discussion, as a round table between the developers and the members of the INSPIRE Technical Committee.

The expected number of active participants (speakers) is 15-20. The main audience is geospatial open source developers, projects leads, users involved with INSPIRE and Members of the JRC INSPIRE Technical Committee.

The following topics will guide through the dialog:
# complexity of INSPIRE technical guidance and OGC standards
# links between INSPIRE specs and national standards
# communication channels between OSGeo and INSPIRE
# setting up wiki pages (multilingual) to make INSPIRE documentation more readable
# how to test and validate INSPIRE compliancy
# how to change/simplify INSPIRE technical guidance in practice
# how to contribute to INSPIRE Maintenance
# automation of INSPIRE adoption through support in the various software packages
# how an implicit support for INSPIRE in any kind of software will give a big boost to the adoption of the directive even outside EU

The analysis part will be done with Epanet's help (http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet.html).

The idea is to define a layer model suitable to be exported to Epanet's .inp file, and a geoprocess to export this model to Epanet. So, we will need to define pipes, wells, valves, depots and so on in gvSIG, analize connectivity and test data integrity (with Network Analysis Extension) and then export to Epanet.

From Epanet, the user will be able to analyze and modify the network and then export the network again to gvSIG.

So, the main tasks are: Define layer model , Create a geoprocess exporter to .INP (we can start from an ongoing work) , Create a geoprocess importer back to gvSIG.

After having the network already balanced in gvSIG, we will develop some methods in order to manage the daily operation of the network. (See possible leaks, see wich pipes or valves need to be replaced, etc).

Wiki-Fpenarru: /* Create a gvSIG plugin for drinking water analysis and management. */

Use this page to jot down and develop any good idea for the [[Google Summer of Code 2012]] program with gvSIG project. Please, use the gvSIG mailing lists for discussion and check [[GvSIG GSoC 2011 Ideas|2011]], [[GvSIG GSoC 2010 Ideas|2010]], [[GvSIG GSoC 2009 Ideas|2009]] ideas pages for examples or reference.

== Create a gvSIG plugin for drinking water analysis and management. ==

* '''Product''': gvSIG Desktop
* '''Possible mentor''': Francisco José Peñarrubia ([fpenarru])
* '''Possible student''': if applicable

The analysis part will be done with Epanet's help (http://www.epa.gov/nrmrl/wswrd/dw/epanet.html).

The idea is to define a layer model suitable to be exported to Epanet's .inp file, and a geoprocess to export this model to Epanet. So, we will need to define pipes, wells, valves, depots and so on in gvSIG, analize connectivity and test data integrity (with Network Analysis Extension) and then export to Epanet.

From Epanet, the user will be able to analyze and modify the network and then export the network again to gvSIG.

So, the main tasks are: Define layer model , Create a geoprocess exporter to .INP (we can start from an ongoing work) , Create a geoprocess importer back to gvSIG.

After having the network already balanced in gvSIG, we will develop some methods in order to manage the daily operation of the network. (See possible leaks, see wich pipes or valves need to be replaced, etc).

[http://www.gvsigmini.com gvSIG Mini] is a free mobile map viewer of several layers sources (OSM, WMS, WMS-c) which at the moment is able to consume [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/YOURS YOURS routing service] and [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_finder NameFinder service] (also weather, twitter services, etc.).

gvSIG Mini is currently being developed by [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]. There are two versions: for Android and J2ME (CLDC/MIDP 2.0). Students are free to select which version of gvSIG Mini want to develop for or use a subset of the Java API compatible between Android and J2ME to build a library and then make the connectors needed for both versions.

* '''Add support to read GPX files (POIs, tracklogs, routes)''': The application should be able to read/parse files in GPX format, convert the data into the gvSIG Mini geometries model (points and lines) and draw the information on a new layer.

* '''Add support to write GPX files (POIs, tracklogs, routes)''': The application should be able to write files in GPX format to store POIs, tracklogs and routes with the information provided by the GPS.

* '''Design an API to make easy integrate gvSIG Mini in other applications''': For the Android version gvSIG Mini should be able to react to some Intent actions sent by other applications. For the J2ME version this project consists in decouple the mapping library from the UI.

* '''Integrate gvSIG Mini with social services''': Currently gvSIG Mini is able to send the GPS location of the device to the user twitter account. We'd like to improve the social skills of gvSIG Mini, so the application should be able to look for location information into the user's followers tweets and draw picture symbols on the proper locations over the map. This symbols should be contextable so, pressing on them the user should be able to send a message to the account of the user represented by the symbol.

* '''Build a POI editor using the OSM API''': Design a friendly interface to point locations on the map and edit the properties needed to store the location as a POI on the OSM database using its API.

Hi.

Difficult for me to speak about my self. Anyway:

Telecommunications Engineer, but many years spent in GIS World.

Last 5 years I've been working (still working) on gvSIG, mainly in vectorial part. Latest years I've been involved in Network Analysis plugin for gvSIG.

I'm interested in making collaboration happens between open source GIS projects.

OpenRouter 2009 SOC Ideas

Wiki-Fpenarru: /* Mentor Candidates */

* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2009]] wiki page.
* Back to the main OSGeo [[Google Summer of Code 2009 Ideas]] wiki page.

= OpenRouter 2009 SOC Ideas =

Enter ideas for development projects here. Note these are just suggestions - students are welcome to propose projects based on their own interests that relate to OpenRouter. Our current efforts are based on the pgRouting project. This routing library provides routing functionality to PostGIS/PostgreSQL.

You can read more about it at the [http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/ pgRouting project page]. There you can find the source code, tutorials, the project mailing list and various other informations.

To give you an idea about some possible SoC projects, here are some suggestions:

== pgRouting related ideas ==

=== Implement a bi-directional shortest path algorithm ===

So far pgRouting doesn't provide a bi-directional shortest path search implementation.

=== Traveling Salesperson solver enhancement ===

The current pgRouting Traveling Salesperson implementation doesn't allow to return to the start point.

=== OpenStreetMap data import tool improvement ===

The recently contributed OpenStreetMap data import tool has a couple of limitations, such as supported attributes, memory management, cross-platform support, etc..

=== Add support for time constraints ===

Real-time shortest path searches are not implemented yet in pgRouting. What if network conditions change during a trip? An example could be train or bus schedules or time restrictions in road networks. Currently pgRouting algorithms don't take into account network these changes.

=== Network layering support ===

This idea is a quite a challenging task. Network layering would allow the routing algorithm to change from more to less dense networks to enable long-distance routing.

=== Better support for turn restrictions ===

[...]

=== Explicator for driving directions ===

[...]

== Open Router related ideas ==

=== Network data import tools ===

Improved support for Navteq data loading. Import tool for TeleAtlas data or other network data sources.

=== General purpose Routing library ===

Start work on a new general purpose OpenSource Routing library that could be more modular and reusable and could be used with or without a database?

= Mentor Candidates =

The following individuals are potentially willing to serve as OpenRouter/pgRouting mentors or co-mentors.

* Daniel Kastl
* Anton Patrushev
* Francisco José Peñarrubia

OSGeo Hacking event

2008-03-13T23:00:34Z

Wiki-Fpenarru: /* How to arrive to the Monastry */

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastry near Bolsena (16-22 June 2008) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: 16-22 June 2008
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]

We will have an OSGeo "hacking" event in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastry] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby here]). The monastry is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . Its probably one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, although I wouldn't bet my hand on it if we all start to download satellite images. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.

The cost will be about 200 Euro per person for the week.

For what the food concerns, there will be a cook who will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 Euro per person per day. There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

We'll discuss other technicalities as they come up, i.e. assistance if you need to rent a car, organize to travel together, public transport etc... Please feel free to use this WIKI page for that or create a sub page.

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days).

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Interested? Sign up here ===

Those participating, you will need to make and advance payment of 100 Euro to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.

=== How to arrive to the Monastry ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastry there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena.

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastry is aproximately 1 km.

It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastry and from the Monastry to Rome.

If you are interested in share vehicle please add your name to the following table and the columns you need for new ideas.

We'll discuss other technicalities as they come up, i.e. assistance if you need to rent a car, organize to travel together, public transport etc... Please feel free to use this WIKI page for that or create a sub page.

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days).

Please contact me if you have questions about this event ([[User:ticheler |Jeroen Ticheler]])

=== Interested? Sign up here ===

Those participating, you will need to make and advance payment of 100 Euro to me to guarantee your place. Please contact me privately by email so we can arrange that. I've no problems if you later need to change as long as you make sure there's someone taking your place :-)

: [1] there are options to do outdoor activities like tracking. A guide can be organized and the cost is very reasonable.

=== How to arrive to the Monastry ===

The closest airports are the Roma airports (Ciampino and Fiumincino).

From Rome to the monastry there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Rome you can take a bus (cotral http://www.cotralspa.it/ENG/capolinea.asp) to Viterbo and other bus from viterbo to Bolsena.

Monday to Friday there is a bus each hour but Sunday there are very few buses.

From Bolsena main street to the Monastry is aproximately 1 km.

It could be interesting to rent a private bus or several cars to move from Rome to the Monastry and from the Monastry to Rome.

If you are interested in share vehicle please add your name to the following table and the columns you need for new ideas.

European GIS Code Sprint

2007-10-24T21:31:55Z

Wiki-Fpenarru: /* Expressed interest in coming */

== European Code Sprint ==

This event is planned as European follow-up of the Canadian [[FOSS4G2007 CodeSprint]] in September. After the great cooperation at the FOSS4G Sprint in Canada, and the interest shown in a European followup, the Sprint will be held.
It is thought for those who for whatever reason did miss the Canadian sprint, but also for those who started something in Canada and need to meet again once more after a few months.

== Whom to contact for doubts, questions, ideas, volunteering ==

* [[User:Moovida | Andrea Antonello]]

(add yourself here if you would like to help)

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

(The following is taken from the page describing the planned
[http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/FOSS4G2007_CodeSprint Canadian Code Sprint at Foss4G2007].)

A code sprint is usually organized by a group that is using an open source project and wants to see something done.
They get 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...

Is this your First Sprint? Here is some background information to get you started:

* http://www.infrae.com/about/activities/sprintathon/tips
* http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/10/19/running-a-sprint.html
* Example Sprint (from same people who do GeoServer): http://www.openplans.org/projects/bbq-sprint

To participate, start a section at the bottom of your page for your project.

== Who should attend ==

* Developers that need to meet the community and discuss issues about a particular project.
* Developers that have the feeling that knowing the different projects communities gives added value and often saves from doing things twice
* Power users that are able to contribute documentation, decend bug descriptions and perhaps even help to fix minor issues.
* Web experts that want to contribute to their favorite projects by helping to set up the web page.

== Aims of the SFScon 2007 Code Sprint ==

For developers:
* bring different projects to know each other and build up some standard interaction
* let the teams of each project meet, discuss, design and code together fulltime and non-remotely for a few days (this often pushes projects more than months of email and IRC working)
* bugfixing

For Power Users:
* the possibility to meet the developer community and help (and be helped) with documentation and translation
* the possibility to propose important bugfixes (prior documented and reproducible, only power user accepted)

For everyone out there:
* Collaborate on the creation of a free dataset by wandering in an ordered way through a defined region with GPS. The dataset should contain as many data as possible, as for example the OSGeo NC dataset of the [http://www.grassbook.org/data_menu3rd.php grassbook] does. Moreover climatic and hydrologic/hydraulic data should be integrated in order to support different analyses.

== Location and Accommodation ==

=== Where is it? ===
The code sprint will be organized as a post-event of the South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007 held in Merano (BZ), Italy.
* SFScon location and GIS Code Sprint location is in Merano, at the "Franz Kafka High school, and can be found [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=&ie=UTF8&ll=46.670753,11.158923&spn=0.004829,0.009956&z=17&om=1 here].

=== How to get there? ===
For trains and planes to get to the sprint please follow this:
[http://sfscon.it/2007/how-to-reach-merano how to reach Merano]

=== Accommodations ===
The Organisers are trying to get together some packages and deals with the local Hotels for '''accommodation and meals'''. As soon as they are fixed, they will be published here.

== Planned Dates ==

* 16-17 Nov 2007: [http://www.sfscon.it/ South Tyrol Free Software Conference 2007]
* 18 Nov 2007 (Sunday): Outdoor GIS data collection for Free data set
* 19-21 Nov 2007: GIS Code Sprint

== Who will organise the sprint ==

The [http://www.tis.bz.it/bereiche/free-software-1 Free Software Center] of Bolzano, Italy, will take care of the organisative part of the event and investigate sponsorings for some parts of the free dataset.

== The OSM datacollection event ==

As you can see on the [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Main_Page OSM wiki], the data collection will be held. Thanks to the OSM guys for their support in this.

We will soon add more infos and proposals, stay tuned.

We feel that there is a huge need for a developer meeting that could
bring together different projects, that really need to interact if
they want to have a glorious future.

== What do I need for the sprint? - wishlist ==

Please add useful ideas for things that we might miss during the organisation:

* flipcharts
* a good and stable internet connection
* enough network cables
* enough extension cords
* some way to do good remote participation (any idea? IRC will be there)

== Virtual participation via IRC etc. ==
Too far away? Get virtually connected through IRC ([irc://irc.freenode.net/#osgeo #osgeo])! No IRC client software or strange firewall? Use the [http://irc.telascience.org/cgi-bin/irc.cgi Web based IRC client] (choose your Nickname and the #osgeo channel).

Hi.

Difficult for me to speak about my self. Anyway:

Telecommunications Engineer, but many years spent in GIS World.

Last 5 years I've been working (still working) on gvSIG, mainly in vectorial part.

I'm interested in making collaboration happens between open source GIS projects.

We feel that there is a huge need for a developer meeting that could
bring together different projects, that really need to interact if
they want to have a glorious future.

== Virtual participation via IRC etc. ==
