Wiki-Jldominguez:

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''': [[User:Fpenarru|Francisco José Peñarrubia]]
* '''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).

== Adding GPS survey capabilities to gvSIG Mini ==

|valign="top" | ''Storing GPS coordinates in a well-known vector format is a powerful professional-oriented feature, currently unavailable in gvSIG Mini. The suggested output format is SHP due to its popularity.''
|}

==== Suggested simplest version ====

* There will be a ''Start Survey'' button which will create an in-memory vector layer in gvSIG Mini using its geometry model (this has nothing to do with the output format yet).
* At any moment, the user will be able to push an ''Export'' button to create a vector data file in the device's SD card with the current set of coordinates. The suggested output format is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapefile ESRI Shapefile]. Alternatives: GML, GPX, Sqlite, GeoJSon, etc.
* It is also important to let the user associate some values to each feature (attributes). In order to establish the attribute names and types and perhaps valid values, you could simply use a properties file (attributes.properties) so the implementation will be easier. I'm thinking about something like:

<pre>
ELEMENT=STRING;TREE,ROCK,HOLE,POOL
SIZE=STRING;LARGE,MEDIUM,SMALL
COMMENT=STRING
</pre>

* The geometry type will be POINT to make the implementation easier.

In this simplest version, gvSIG Mini will write a vector data file but will not necessarily be able to read it. If you choose SHP as the output format, you might use the shapefile writer available in gvSIG and gvSIG Mobile or use some other GIS library to perform the export operation (GeoTools, etc).

==== Suggested improvements ====

* Implement also the import option to let the user open the resulting vector data file.
* Let the user choose LINE or POLYGON as the geometry type of the new vector layer. This will make the application more sophisticated, as it will be necessary to think about a user-friendly way to finish the current feature and start a new one.

Live GIS Disc Testing

2010-03-13T17:13:14Z

Wiki-Jldominguez: /* ugvsigmobile */

''This page describes how to test each application installed on the [[Live GIS Disc]]. Application test steps describe how an Ubuntu user who is unfamiliar an application can try it out and confirm that everything has been installed correctly within 5 minutes. Test Results document when the application was last verified to be working.''

''This page is maintained at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing and copied onto each release of the LiveDVD.''

=== Testing ===

==== If no GPS is plugged in ====

*Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
*You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
*Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
*Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
*Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
*Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====

*Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
*Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
**This will be of more use in remote areas.
*Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
**[Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====

*In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
*Options -> Import -> GPX track
*Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
*A red trace should appear along the coastline.
*Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====

*Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
*The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
*See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
*If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

= mb-system =

*Open a terminal

cd /usr/local/mbsystem/examples/

List summary information about the contents of some bathymetric data files:

cd mbinfo/
./mbinfo.cmd

Grid some sample data and then view it:

cd ../mbm_plot/
./mbm_plot_5.cmd

# which creates this script:
./mbm_plot_test5.cmd

You should now see a nice plot of the seafloor off Baja California.

*(this also acts as a test of the GMT plotting package)

= mapfish =

;Tested against ver 2.0

*Make sure you have a working internet connection
*Double click on the Mapfish icon on the desktop
*After a few seconds the web browser should open and you should see a map of the southwestern pacific
*Click the magnifying glass just under the word "Map" at the top of the map.
*Zoom in on Sydney
*Explore

=== Testing ===

==== If no GPS is plugged in ====

*Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
*You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
*Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
*Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
*Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
*Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====

*Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
*Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
**This will be of more use in remote areas.
*Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
**[Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====

*In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
*Options -> Import -> GPX track
*Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
*A red trace should appear along the coastline.
*Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====

*Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
*The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
*See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
*If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

= mb-system =

*Open a terminal

cd /usr/local/mbsystem/examples/

List summary information about the contents of some bathymetric data files:

cd mbinfo/
./mbinfo.cmd

Grid some sample data and then view it:

cd ../mbm_plot/
./mbm_plot_5.cmd

# which creates this script:
./mbm_plot_test5.cmd

You should now see a nice plot of the seafloor off Baja California.

*(this also acts as a test of the GMT plotting package)

= mapfish =

;Tested against ver 2.0

*Make sure you have a working internet connection
*Double click on the Mapfish icon on the desktop
*After a few seconds the web browser should open and you should see a map of the southwestern pacific
*Click the magnifying glass just under the word "Map" at the top of the map.
*Zoom in on Sydney
*Explore

= R =
* double click on the R Icon
* at the command line, type demo(graphics) and hit return
* follow the prompt and watch the target window for examples

:*a link for the "Generic Client", a client for sending XML requests (http post) to the services.

*Click on "TestW*S"

:Verify you get either maps or xml fragments.
:*TestWMS will contain some images (results of WMS requests), and links for further KVP requests (http get).
:*TestWFS will open a page with several links for WFS requests (KVP). Either one will return XML fragments. There is also a link to the generic client.
:*TestWCS will open a page with several links for WCS requests (KVP). Either one will return XML fragments.

*Click the client link ("deegree iGeoPortal") in top left box ("deegree Web Applications").

:Verify this will open a new tab with a list of available WebMapContexts. Either one of these links (Utah, SaltLakeCity or Playground) should open a full working portal in this tab. Once the WMC is loaded you may switch to the other WMCs by using the drop down box labled "Theme selection"

*Click on the desktop icon "stop deegree"

:Verify the deegree-tomcat process is stopped.

=== Testing ===

==== If no GPS is plugged in ====

*Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
*You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
*Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
*Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
*Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
*Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====

*Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
*Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
**This will be of more use in remote areas.
*Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
**[Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====

*In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
*Options -> Import -> GPX track
*Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
*A red trace should appear along the coastline.
*Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====

*Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
*The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
*See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
*If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

=== Testing ===

==== If no GPS is plugged in ====

*Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
*You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
*Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
*Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
*Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
*Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====

*Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
*Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
**This will be of more use in remote areas.
*Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
*Options -> Map -> Download
**Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
**[Download Map]
**When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====

*In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
*Options -> Import -> GPX track
*Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
*A red trace should appear along the coastline.
*Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====

*Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
*The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
*See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
*If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

= mb-system =

*Open a terminal

cd /usr/local/mbsystem/examples/

List summary information about the contents of some bathymetric data files:

cd mbinfo/
./mbinfo.cmd

Grid some sample data and then view it:

cd ../mbm_plot/
./mbm_plot_5.cmd

# which creates this script:
./mbm_plot_test5.cmd

You should now see a nice plot of the seafloor off Baja California.

*(this also acts as a test of the GMT plotting package)

= mapfish =

;Tested against ver 2.0

*Make sure you have a working internet connection
*Double click on the Mapfish icon on the desktop
*After a few seconds the web browser should open and you should see a map of the southwestern pacific
*Click the magnifying glass just under the word "Map" at the top of the map.
*Zoom in on Sydney
*Explore

* Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====
* Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
* Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
* Options -> Map -> Download
** Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
** When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
** This will be of more use in remote areas.
* Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
* Options -> Map -> Download
** Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
** [Download Map]
** When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====
* In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
* Options -> Import -> GPX track
* Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
* A red trace should appear along the coastline.
* Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====
* Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
* The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
* See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
* If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

= mb-system =

* Open a terminal
cd /usr/local/mbsystem/examples/

List summary information about the contents of some bathymetric data files:
cd mbinfo/
./mbinfo.cmd

Grid some sample data and then view it:
cd ../mbm_plot/
./mbm_plot_5.cmd

# which creates this script:
./mbm_plot_test5.cmd

You should now see a nice plot of the seafloor off Baja California.

* (this also acts as a test of the GMT plotting package)

= mapfish =

; Tested against ver 2.0

* Make sure you have a working internet connection

=== Testing ===

==== If no GPS is plugged in ====
* Double click on the GpsDrive desktop icon
* You should see a map of downtown Sydney, after about 10 seconds a waypoint marker for the Convention Centre should appear.
* Set the map scale to 1:10,000 either by dragging the slider at the bottom or by using the +,- buttons (not magnifying glass)
* Enter Explore Mode by pressing the "e" key or in the Map Control button.
* Use the arrow keys or left mouse button to move off screen.
* Right click to set destination and leave Explore Mode

===== Downloading maps =====
* Change the scale setting to 1:1,000,000 you should see a continental map
* Enter Explore Mode again ("e") and left click on the great barrier reef
* Options -> Map -> Download
** Map source: NASA LANDSAT, Scale: 1:500,000, [Download Map]
** When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:500,000
** This will be of more use in remote areas.
* Explore to the coast, click on an airport, headland, or some other conspicuous feature. You might want to use the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in on it better. Use a right click set the target on some other conspicuous feature nearby then demagnify back out.
* Options -> Map -> Download
** Map source: OpenStreetMap, Scale: 1:150,000, left-click on map to center the green preview over your target and what looks like a populated area.
** [Download Map]
** When download is complete click [ok] then change the preferred scale slider to 1:150,000 and you should see a (rather rural) road map. This will be more interesting in built up areas.

===== Overlay a GPX track =====
* In the ~/.gpsdrive/tracks/ directory you will find australia.gpx which is a track line following the coastline.
* Options -> Import -> GPX track
* Hidden folders are hidden in the file picker, but just start typing ~/.gpsdrive and hit enter. You should then see the tracks/ directory and be able to load australia.gpx.
* A red trace should appear along the coastline.
* Check that it lines up well with the coast as shown in map tiles of varying scale.

==== If a GPS is plugged in ====
* Make sure gpsd is running by starting "xgps" from the command line.
* The program will automatically detect gpsd and jump to your current position. This should bring up a continental map as you won't have any map tiles downloaded for your area yet.
* See the above "Downloading Maps" section to get some local tiles.
* If you have a local GPX track of some roads try loading that and making sure everything lines up, as detailed in the above "Overlay a GPX track" section.

That's it.

= mb-system =

* Open a terminal
cd /usr/local/mbsystem/examples/

List summary information about the contents of some bathymetric data files:
cd mbinfo/
./mbinfo.cmd

Grid some sample data and then view it:
cd ../mbm_plot/
./mbm_plot_5.cmd

# which creates this script:
./mbm_plot_test5.cmd

You should now see a nice plot of the seafloor off Baja California.

* (this also acts as a test of the GMT plotting package)

= mapfish =

; Tested against ver 2.0

* Make sure you have a working internet connection
* Double click on the Mapfish icon on the desktop
* After a few seconds the web browser should open and you should see a map of the southwestern pacific
* Click the magnifying glass just under the word "Map" at the top of the map.
* Zoom in on Sydney
* Explore

Google Summer of Code 2009 Ideas

2009-04-01T14:47:14Z

Wiki-Jldominguez: /* The ideas pages */

[[Image:2009_summer_of_code_logo_final_r3-01.png|center|250px]]

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

=OSGeo Google Summer of Code 2009=
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation would like to extend a welcome to all SoC students. On this page you will find links to a host of ideas organized by project. You will find ideas ranging from the depths of computer science graph theory to the heights of visualization. One thing all these ideas have in common is lots and lots of spatial data.

These ideas are '''*only*''' to motivate you, and serve as example of the kind of hills we want to charge up. Your own ideas are more than welcomed - they are encouraged. We view you as the next wave of open source leaders; show us what you've got.

'''If you need more information on how to apply you can contact all the mentoring organisations via soc at lists.osgeo.org'''

* There is a [http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/GsocFlyers Google SoC flyer] to look at and post in appropriate places.

=What to expect during the summer?=

==Be prepared to be in constant communication with your mentors and project==
You and your mentors will decide on the specifics, but we will expect you and your mentor to communicate *a lot*. Part of the idea of SoC is to intergrate you into the developer community, so you should get involved from the start. The more you communicate the easier it will be. Don't be afraid that the mentors will request your phone number. It is only to make sure that we can reach you, in case of problems.

==Weekly reports==
Yes, every week we expect to see a report that at least answers the following questions:
# What did you get done this week?
# What do you plan on doing next week?
# Are you blocked on anything?

If you want, feel free to write *more*. But three sentences is the bare minimum. *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEND YOUR PROGRESS REPORTS ON TIME*, if you don't send this email your mentors will start to get twitchy, and *especially* if they don't get any responses to their emails / don't see you in IRC. Twitchy mentors is not what we want. If you are blocked by finals, that's cool. We have all studied at some point, just tell us about it, be honest. If you don't know how to proceed and your mentor isn't answering *definitely* tell about it. The SoC project admins will always be available. Basically the point is that you open up the communication channels, and keep them open. That way you will have a super summer, and get paid ;)

Last year this weekly report proved to be very popular among the students and mentors alike, so we will keep it up.

==Wiki page==
In addition to weekly reports we ask you to maintain a wiki page for your project. You should store your weekly reports there and add other information, like how to compile and test your program. If applicable add screenshots and other nice info.

=Timeline=
http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs#timeline

* March 18th 2009: Google announces accepted organisations. If OSGeo is accepted as an organization for Google Summer of Code, start talking to us earlier rather than later.
* April 3rd 2009: Student application deadline. The earlier you start the more probable it is that you will be accepted!
* April 20th 2009: Accepted student proposals are announced.
* May 23rd 2009: Coding begins!
* July 6th - July 13th: Mid-term evaluation.
* August 10th: Pencils down!

= The ideas pages =
Each participating project's list of ideas is here, with a short description of the project and what type of students would be interested in it:

* [http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode GDAL SoC Ideas]: GDAL is the Geographic Data Abstraction Library, a library which provides access to spatial data in all kinds of formats via a uniform API.
* [http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_SoC_Ideas GRASS SoC Ideas]: GRASS GIS is an open source GIS focusing mainly on analysis. It is written as a collection of stand-alone C programs and has a new GUI written in Python. If you know Python, or want to implement algorithms in C take a look!
* [http://www.mapbender.org/GSoC_2009 Mapbender SoC ideas 2009]: Mapbender is a server and client side geographic data management tool, programmed in '''PHP''' and '''JavaScript''', using the '''jQuery''' library.
* [http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas Quantum GIS SoC Ideas] Quantum GIS (QGIS) is a user friendly Open Source Geographic Information System (GIS) that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, and Windows. QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats.
* [[MapServer 2009 SOC Ideas]]
* [http://geosoa.scg.ulaval.ca/en/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=20 Laval University 2009 SoC ideas]: Based on OpenLayers and other relevant software from OSGeo, this project aims at designing and developing a tool to produce rich and interactive geo-analytical dashboards. Such dashboards will serve as a front end for a range of Spatial OLAP technologies to better support decision makers, managers, etc. in making informed decisions.
* [http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Summer+of+Code+2009 GeoServer SoC 2009]: GeoServer supports Web Map Server, Web Feature Server and Web Coverage Service protocols. It makes spatial information available in a range of formats from GeoTIFF to KML. The application is Java EE based, making use of Spring to wire everything up. The application supports a plug-in system so student contributions can me distributed as they are ready.
* [http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOTOOLS/Summer+of+Code+2009 GeoTools SoC 2009]: GeoTools is a Java toolkit for working with spatial data, it covers everything from bits on disk to rendering. It provides client code for WFS, WMS and supports a range of data sources like shapefile and PostGIS. The library is used by a lot of the Java applications on this page. The library has a plug-in system so students work can be distributed via maven as they are ready.
* [http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/HACK/Summer+of+Code uDig SoC 2009]: User-friendly Desktop GIS is a Java application written with the Eclipse RCP framework. The project has a community svn area to host student plug-ins, tutorials cover how to package up a custom application to show off your work.
* [http://openjump.org/wiki/show/Google+Summer+Of+Code+Ideas+List OpenJUMP/deegree Ideas List]: deegree and OpenJUMP share code derived from the original JUMP. Both programs maintain separate development lists and source code repositories but look for opportunities to collaborate.
* [[OSGeo Cartographic Library]]: A cross-project effort to define a cartography output specification, and ideally, to create an example engine or set of scripts to produce high quality ''printable'' output. Then other projects can export to this standard and share in the benefit of a common engine.
* [[OpenGeocoder 2009 SOC Ideas]]: We are trying to focus our development efforts on PAGC that uses statistical record match and fuzzy searches. We are refactoring this code to make it more modular and reusable. We want to extend it with support for countries other than North America. We are also interested in making it OpenLS compatible for the geocoding components.
* [[OpenRouter 2009 SOC Ideas]]: OpenRouter is an attempt to work towards creation of open source software providing routing capability. Open source projects such as pgRouting already provide routing and network analysis. There are various opportunities to improve existing components or implement new functionality.

= What is the main public mailing list for your organization? =

Bolsena Code Sprint 2009

2008-12-14T16:09:25Z

Wiki-Jldominguez: /* OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (7-13 June 2009) */

== OSGeo Hacking event in a monastery near Bolsena (7-13 June 2009) ==
; [[Event Owner]]: [[User:ticheler | Jeroen Ticheler]]
; When: 7-13 June 2009
; Where: [http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby Bolsena - Italy]

After the successful event last year, we'll repeat the OSGeo "hacking" event in Bolsena in an [http://www.conventobolsena.org/ Italian monastery] ([http://tinyurl.com/2t6zby here], and a video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wrZrK64UIw here]). The monastery is overlooking Lago Bolsena and offers space to about 25 people in small bedrooms :-) . It is one of the coolest places for such an event. Quiet, isolated, simple and serene. There's a good wireless and wired internet connection, further improved this year. It should be perfect for SVN, IRC and mail. Have a look yourself, including looking at the photo gallery.
For what the food concerns, we will have a cook who will take care of us :-) . There's a large dining space, but we will eat outside overlooking the lake if weather permits (very likely in June).

The all inclusive cost will be 500 Euro per person for the full week. You can stay all seven days and food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) is included in the price. As last year, we will go out for a city visit and a dinner on one of the evenings (also included).

The event will take place during the whole week (7 days), although the emphasis will probably be Monday to Friday for most participants.

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

=== Registered Attendees ===

Those participating, you will need to make the payment of 500 Euro in advance to me to guarantee your place. This is to make administration simpler for myself and you. 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 Monastery ===

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

From Rome to the monastery there is 135 km aproximately.

There is no railway to Bolsena.

From Fiumicino to Rome you can take the train [http://www.adr.it/content.asp?Subc=1363&L=1&idMen=731 METROPOLITANO FR1].

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 Monastery is aproximately 1 km.

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

OSGeo Hacking event

2008-02-27T10:37:27Z

Wiki-Jldominguez:

== 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 :-)
