===Compare ArcGIS against Open Source GIS Desktop===

''September 2009'' http://gothos.info/resource_files/fpd_libhitech_foss_gis_march2010.pdf

Compares ArcGIS against GRASS, QGIS, uDig, gvSIG,OpenJUMP, and MapWindow for the Library domain.

: "Each of the individual FOSS GIS packages had their own particular strengths and weaknesses and some performed well for thematic mapping. The FOSS packages generally were weaker compared to ArcGIS in terms of support for various projection and coordinate systems, joining attribute data to GIS files, and automatic labeling, but their advantage is that they were free in terms of cost and licensing restrictions. When coupled with plug-ins and helper applications the viability of the FOSS GIS packages increased."

===Email threads discussing merits and disadvantages of OSGeo Desktop===

'''18 April 2008: [http://lists.burri.to/pipermail/geowanking/2008-April/thread.html Geowanking: ArcView 3.1 replacement]'''

"[Oxford Archaeology] are looking at gvsig and qgis as the main options [for ArcGIS], gvsig because it can use cad data, and qgis because we like the grass integration and it's slightly more user-friendly for english speakers (the translated version of gvsig still has some spanish bits in it). With slight changes to our work-flows, we are finding that these two packages will do almost everything we need a gis to do, with the exception of producing high-quality illustrations. To achieve this we are currently looking at export to svg or postscript for final editing in inkscape, but that's a work in progress."

'''24 April 2008: [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-April/thread.html OSGeo-Discuss: Can I do the same GIS tasks with OS (as with ESRI)?]'''

This email thread provides numerous opinions for and against using Open Source Geospatial Software.

[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-April/003458.html Paul Ramsey notes there is not a direct Open Source replacement for Arc View]:

''I think it's contingent on us as evangelizers to not over-sell. I
would not recommend QGIS or any other open source desktop to someone
whose prior experience was Arc* until I had a clear understanding of
the use case. In response to the query "can I replace ArcView with
open source", my answer is "in general, no, but maybe for a specific
use case".''

[http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/discuss/2008-April/003453.html John Callahan provides a good summary]:

''I've been an ESRI user (AV 3.x, ArcGIS 8/9, ArcIMS, ArcGIS Server, ArcSDE) for 12+ years and have recently started exploring FOSS software. And I haven't disagreed with any of the responses so far. You will definitely need multiple programs to do what a single ESRI program can do. IMO, this is a good thing. One of the main reasons for my migration is I'm tired of running large, complicated, expensive software and all the extra baggage that comes with it to use only 10% of what the software can do. (see ArcGIS Server.)''

''You can do all the analysis and more of ArcGIS Desktop and extensions using GRASS, QGIS, SAGA, GeoTools, GDAL/OGR, PROJ4, or R Statistics along with a programming language like Python, Java or others. (IMO, this is a better solution than ESRI.) You can do just about anything you want on the web server end with MapServer, GeoServer, FeatureServer (and maybe TileCache or GeoNetwork for metadata) with any of a dozen or more clients (OpenLayers, ka-Map, MapGuide etc...). And you can do a lot of database work with Postgres/PostGIS, a much simpler, less costly solution than ArcSDE+RDBMS. And I wouldn't count out the role of free, non-open source packages like Google products and Oracle Express (11g should have Spatial included.)''

''From my experience (limited in the FOSS world), I have found three basic hurdles:
# ''Cartography. Whether on the screen, PDF outputs, or print publications, ArcMap is easy and looks great. (Although R Statistics produces better looking charts and graphs than ArcGIS.)''
# ''Versioned editing. This is important for groups with multiple concurrent editors or that has a particular hierarchical workflow with their GIS data.''
# ''Storage and serving of very large (50+ GB) raster datasets. PostGIS does not support rasters yet; Oracle Spatial does though. I'm still not sure if storing rasters in a database is a good idea but ArcSDE sure makes it easy, and with good performance when used in conjunction with other ESRI products.''

* [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_Cartographic_Library Design plans for improving open source Cartographic Mapping].

''August 2005, [http://www.toddbuchanan.net/thesis_ver.pdf Comparison of ARCGIS 9.0 and GRASS 6.0]''

Todd Buchanan's master thesis compared ArcGIS 9.0 and GRASS 6.0 for a use case: "Characterization of Urban Sprawl for Eugene-Springfield, Oregon". He took detailed notes using both and found "ArcGIS is more straightforward than GRASS. However, GRASS proved itself fully capable of performing the operations required by the case study and outperformed ArcGIS in several categories."

Note: GRASS is even better now and has been integrated with the user friendly qgis since this study.

===PostGIS versus MySQL Spatial===
June 2009

In speed, PostGIS wins but not by orders of magnitude. The amount of functionality in MySQL Spatial remains very very small. You can do simple store-and-retrieve operations. Many of the spatial operations that are standard in full spatial databases don’t exist or are (confusingly, as some users have commented) stubbed out against bounding box tests instead.

Browse and download most of the important documents '''[http://www.gissa.org.za/special-interest-groups/open-source/folder_contents HERE]'''.

The South African FOSS Policy which was approved in 2007 urges government to implement FOSS:
*'''Choose FOSS''': The South African government will implement FOSS unless proprietary software proves to be significantly superior. Whenever the advantages of FOSS and proprietary software are comparable FOSS will be implemented when choosing a software solution for a new project. Whenever FOSS is not implemented, then reasons must be provided to justify implementing proprietary software.
*'''Use FOSS/Open Content Licensing''': The South African government will ensure all government content and content developed using government resources is made Open Content, unless analysis on specific content shows that proprietary licensing or confidentiality is substantially beneficial.
*'''Develop in FOSS''': All new software developed for or by the South African government will be based on open standards, adherent to FOSS principles, and be licensed using a FOSS license where possible.
*'''Migrate to FOSS''': The South African government will migrate current proprietary software to FOSS whenever comparable software exists.
*'''Promote FOSS in South Africa''': The South African government will encourage the use of Open Content and Open Standards within South Africa. They will encourage the use of Open Content and Open Standards.

February 2009, ''[http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/government_it/open_source/policy.aspx Government Policy on Open Source, Open Standards and Re–Use]''

Summarised highlights from the policy:
* Government procurement will fairly consider open source solutions alongside proprietary ones and will take into account total cost of ownership, including exit and transition costs.
* The Government will, wherever possible, avoid becoming locked in to proprietary software.
*The Government will require solutions to comply with open standards.
* Where appropriate, general purpose software developed for government will be released on an open source basis.

=Why write a Case Study?=
A case study discusses how a specific situation was identified, which solutions were investigated and selected, and a summary of the results.

Solution architects use relevant case studies to support a solution they are building.

Writing a case study about your project gives others the confidence to follow in your footsteps which in turn increases investment in your tools of choice. Publishing your experience gives '''positive feedback''' to those involved in your project, reinforcing your success, encouraging colleagues to take on additional challenges, allowing the project to continue to grow.

We would like to see case studies which cover a range of use cases, especially from organizations with a low risk tolerance. Many organizations approach Open Source in little steps gradually integrating it with existing infrastructure and find targeted small case studies valuable.

=What to write?=

One to three pages is good, with a graphic per page.

The case study should cover:
* Date
* Problem
* Evaluations
* Implementation, including integration with other infrastructure
* Problems faced and how they were overcome
* Return on Investment
* Future plans
* Who else might benefit from your experience

More hints found by googling: [http://www.klariti.com/business-writing/How-To-Write-Case-Study.shtml How to write a Case Study]

=How to publish?=
Consider submitting an article to the [http://www.osgeo.org/journal OSGeo Journal].

Shared CRS and CRS Transformation Library

2010-04-19T09:28:57Z

Wiki-Mays: /* Existing Libraries */

=Introduction=
This page was created for information and discussion on a library for CRS and CRS transformations that might be shared among Kava GIS programs.

=Moving Forward=
I don't think it is realistic for us to expect either GeoTools or
deegree to abandon their existing CRS code. However, I think we can
start laying the foundation for a shared library at some point in the
future, even if it is a couple of years away. This is the approach
Jody and I discussed with the DataObjects framework for obtaining a
generic Feature object from common spatial file formats.

=Proposed Tasks=
I believe that we can move forward with the following tasks:

*Identify what the GeoTools and deegree CRS source code is
currently capable of. What can each library do and what can't it do?
If a programmer from each project can send me a short description of
this functionality I'll get it posted to the OSGeo Java Collaboration
page.
*Identify the things that we can share without major changes to
each library. I would think at a minimum this would include CRS
definitions and common transformation algorithms.
*Identify interfaces in each library that serve the same purpose or
close to the same purpose. These can be targets for interfaces that
can be moved to a common package shared by both libraries at some
point in the future.
*Determine the development road plan for each library. What changes
will be coming to each library in the next month, 6 months, year? If
we can answer this question we can find opportunities to build
similarities into each library as they develop. The result will be two
libraries that grow closer together instead of farther apart.

'''The Sunburned Surveyor'''

== Issues For Discussion ==

* Use of ISO 19111 as a document to guide implementation of any library or shared interfaces.
* Use of JSR-275 in any library.
* Where do we want to strike the balance between complexity and simplicity? Can we have a simple core set of packages for the most common use scenarios, and an extended set of packages for the hard core geodesists among us?
* How will we handle licensing and copyright issues? Can we host the code for any shared library in an existing project like GeoTools, GeoAPI, or deegree?
* Can we come up with a list of classes or interfaces that the GeoTools and deegree libraries have in common, and then work on refactoring out a common set of interfaces that can be placed in a shared library?
* What are the sources of projection information available to us (EPSG, PROJ4) and how will a shared library incorporate or integrate those sources? Will we define our own "open" format for CRS definitions? How will this be maintained?

Open Geospatial Consortium

2010-04-19T09:23:05Z

Wiki-Mays: /* Sites */ update incubation/graduation status

''Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) and OSGeo are distinctive organizations with individual goals and visions. This page describes the OGC, an organization dedicated to developing [[Standards]] for the geospatial realm.''

[[Image:Ogc logo.png|thumb|144px|right|OGC Logo]]

== About OGC ==
'' From http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc:''

The Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc (OGC) is an international industry consortium of 346 companies, government agencies and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available interface specifications. [http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/ OpenGIS® Specifications] support [http://www.opengeospatial.org/resource/faq/openness/#10 interoperable] solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. The specifications empower technology developers to make complex spatial information and services accessible and useful with all kinds of applications.

== Vision ==
''From: http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/vision''

Realization of the full societal, economic and scientific benefits of integrating electronic location resources into commercial and institutional processes worldwide.

== Mission ==
To serve as a global forum for the collaboration of developers and users of spatial data products and services, and to advance the development of international standards for geospatial interoperability.
Strategic Goals:

: Goal 1 - Provide free and openly available standards to the market, tangible value to Members, and measurable benefits to users.
: Goal 2 - Lead worldwide in the creation and establishment of standards that allow geospatial content and services to be seamlessly integrated into business and civic processes, the spatial web and enterprise computing.
: Goal 3 - Facilitate the adoption of open, spatially enabled reference architectures in enterprise environments worldwide.
: Goal 4 - Advance standards in support of the formation of new and innovative markets and applications for geospatial technologies.
: Goal 5 - Accelerate market assimilation of interoperability research through collaborative consortium processes.

== History ==
The early history of the OGC is closely related to the Open Source software [[GRASS]]. Read more on the OGC website at: http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/history.

[[Image:From GRASS to OGC.png|500px|From GRASS to OGC time line]]

== Sites ==
The OGC operates several web sites, portals and Wikis, each with specific access regulations:
* The main web site http://www.opengeospatial.org/ gives access to all public standards.
* Internal documents can be accessed by members through the portal http://portal.opengeospatial.org/ after authentication.
* On the inside the OGC is structured into Standard Working Groups (SWG) and Domain Working Groups (DWG). Members of the OGC can opt into SWG to contribute to the work. Due to patent regulations the work in the SWG is limited to members of the group. Before a standard becomes official it is openly published for a period of comments.
* OGC Network http://www.ogcnetwork.net/ is an outward facing portal where information from Technical Committee Meetings is published for non-members. As a service to OSGeo we will provide more information on the [[OGC News]] page.
* [http://cite.opengeospatial.org/ Compliance & Interoperability Testing & Evaluation Initiative]
* All [http://cite.opengeospatial.org/reference OGC reference implementations] are based on Open Source Software,

Open Source GIS History

2010-03-18T06:42:05Z

Wiki-Mays: Undo revision 46271 by BigR (Talk)

== Software projects ==

In '''XX''' and '''XXI''' century, a series of other desktop and server Open Source GIS projects were started:
* geospatial libraries: [http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ PROJ.4], [http://www.osgeo.org/geotools Geotools], Geoserver, TerraLib
* Desktop GIS: [http://grass.osgeo.org GRASS GIS], SAGA GIS, uDIG, [http://www.osgeo.org/gvsig gvSIG], ILWIS
* Web mapping/WebGIS: [http://www.osgeo.org/deegree deegree], [http://www.osgeo.org/mapserver UMN MapServer], [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide MapGuide Open Source]
* geostatistics software: gstat, R Project for Statistical Computing

=== Timeline ===

'''1978''' - Map Overlay and Statistical System (MOSS). A pioneer vector-based geographic information system (GIS) developed by the U.S. Department of Interior. MOSS is still available to download (ftp://ftp.blm.gov/pub/gis/). Dr. Carl Reed has written an article about [http://www.scribd.com/doc/4606038/2004-Article-by-Carl-Reed-MOSS-A-Historical-perspective MOSS history].

'''since 1982-today''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/grass GRASS] (Geographical Resources Analysis Support System) is the earliest Open Source GIS which reached production status and supported both raster and vector data. It was originally developed from 1982 to 1995 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, since then by the international GRASS Development Team. Initially published as public domain software, its license was changed to GNU GPL (General Public License, see www.gnu.org) in 1999.

'''1983''' - [http://trac.osgeo.org/proj/ PROJ4 library] development started. The original proj was developed in the early 1980's as a ratfor (a fortran preprocessor)
program (Evenden, 1983) with much of the code derived from the Geological
Survey’s General Cartographic Transformation Package (gctp) (superceded
by a more portable Version II by Elassal, 1987). Program proj was recoded in the
C language when the mapgen package (Evenden and Botbol, 1985), of which proj
is an integral part, was transfered to the Unix operating system. (References refer to [ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/proj/OF90-284.pdf])

'''1995''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/mapserver UMN MapServer] project started. In '''2002''' MapServer gets Python support.

'''1998''' - [http://deegree.org/ deegree] development started with an OGC Simple Features implementation. The project was renamed from JaGo to deegree in '''2002'''.

'''1998''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/gdal_ogr GDAL/OGR] development started. Python support was added in '''2000'''.

'''1999''' - [http://grass.osgeo.org GRASS GIS] source code moved from manual management into CVS

'''2000''' - Atlantis Scientific launched [http://openev.sourceforge.net/ OpenEV] project

'''2000''' - [http://sourceforge.net/projects/jts-topo-suite/ JTS Topology Suite] project was initiated in Fall 2000. JTS 1.0 was released in February '''2002''' and version 1.1 in March '''2002'''.

'''2001''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/ossim OSSIM] initial revision in CVS

'''2001''' - [http://www.postgis.org PostGIS] started

'''2001''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/geonetwork GeoNetwork opensource] started as GeoNetwork, later renamed to GeoNetwork opensource.

'''2002''' - Intevation,Gmbh starts [http://thuban.intevation.org Thuban] projects

'''2002''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/qgis Quantum GIS] initial revision in CVS

'''2002''' - [http://geos.refractions.net/ GEOS] initial revision in CVS

'''2002''' - [http://avpython.sourceforge.net/ AVPython] for ArcView 3.x published as FOSS

'''2003''' - [http://communitymapbuilder.org Community MapBuilder] started . The end of life of MapBuilder project was officially [http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/MAP/EndOfLife announced] on '''28 July 2008'''. [http://communitymapbuilder.org/display/MAP/Strategic+Direction#StrategicDirection-KeyMilestones ref]

'''2003''' - Release of [http://www.osgeo.org/mapbender Mapbender] under the GNU GPL license

'''2003''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/gvSIG gvSIG] was started

'''2005''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/mapguide MapGuide Open Source]

'''2006''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/mapbender Mapbender] gets first bits in CVS

'''2006''' - [http://www.osgeo.org/openlayers OpenLayers] started

'''2008''' - [http://grass.osgeo.org GRASS GIS] runs natively also on MS-Windows

== Organizations ==

'''1992:''' "Open GRASS Foundation" (OGF)

'''1994:''' OGF was re-structured as the Open Geospatial Consortium ([http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/historylong OGC])

'''2006:''' Open Source Geospatial Foundation (http://www.osgeo.org) established whose mission is to support and promote the collaborative development of open geospatial technologies, data and educational material.

=== 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 =
= ossim =
= Main Documentation =

* Confirm that Firefox is opened at startup
* Confirm that it opens up at file:///usr/local/share/livedvd-docs/index.html
* Confirm that the homepage is set to file:///usr/local/share/livedvd-docs/index.html
* Confirm that you can see descriptions about the different projects.

=== 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 =

=== 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

Project Graduation Checklist

2010-03-02T08:11:20Z

Wiki-Mays:

'''The official copy of this document lives at http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html'''

= Document Status =

'''IncCom Document Number''': X

'''Version''': 2.0. Updates since 1.0 are in red.

'''Last Updated''': February 2010.

'''Status''': draft

= Purpose =

The purpose of this checklist is to determine whether an Incubator Project produces quality products, remains true to its stated licence and is sustainable. Satisfying this checklist is a pre-requisite for graduation.

A project should have institutionalized the processes in this list or provide justification why the process is not used.

= Terms and Definitions =

; Mentor : A member of the Incubation Committee chosen to assist a Project through the Incubation Process.
; Institutionalized Process : A documented process which which addresses a need and is actively in use. It typically takes months before a process becomes institutionalized. ''A more detailed definition of institutionalization is found in the [http://www.sei.cmu.edu/pub/documents/02.reports/pdf/02tr012.pdf Capability Maturity Model (CMMI)]''

= Checklist =

== License ==

# The code has been adequately vetted to assure it is all properly licensed <strike>(a.k.a</strike>as per a [http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/codereview.html provenance review]<strike>)</strike>.
# All code contributors have agreed to abide by the project's license policy, and this agreement has been documented and archived.

== Processes ==

# The project has a <strike>suitable </strike>governance policy and project management committee established that ensures decisions are made, documented and adhered to?Cameron Shorter comment: "suitable" is not defined and doesn't add value to the sentence.
# The developer community works in a healthy way, open to input, new members and reaching consensus on decisions. Ideally, the developers come from a diversity of backgrounds as there will be a greater variety of technical visions and the project is more resilient to a sponsor leaving.
# The project has documented its management processes. This is typically done within a Developers Guide or Project Management Plan.
# The project has code under configuration management<strike>control</strike>. Eg, subversion.
# The project uses an issue tracker and keeps the status of the issue tracker up to date.
# The project maintains transparency by using <strike>uses </strike>public communication channels. Eg archived email lists.

==Quality Control==
Cameron Shorter comment: Quality requirements have been moved into this section.
# The project has comprehensive user documentation.
# The project has comprehensive developer documentation.
<strike># The project has an automated build process.</strike> Cameron Shorter comment: Covered by following line.
# The project follows a documented<strike> manages</strike> quality process. Ideally, this includes both automated and manual testing.<strike>an automated test system.</strike>
# The project follows<strike>has</strike> a defined release process which includes extensive testing before releasing a stable release.
Cameron Shorter comment: At a later stage, it would be good to expect OSGeo projects to maintain a periodic stable release schedule, ideally linked in with distribution release cycles. However, I don't think we have reached that level of maturity across our projects yet.

== Marketing ==

# Marketing material has been created about the project for the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Marketing_Committee OSGeo Marketting Committee]. <strike>(can we assume pdf handout, presentation slides and a feature matrix?)</strike>
# Stable version(s) of the project are bundled with appropriate distributions, (eg: [http://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis DebianGIS], [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc GeoSpatial Live GIS], [http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ osgeo4w], etc.)

FOSS4G 2009 Demonstration Theatre

2009-11-25T12:28:08Z

Wiki-Mays: /* Demo Schedule */

Thank you for those taking part in the FOSS4G 2009 Demonstration Theatre. The demo theatre was a chance to show off what your team or community is capable of (to a willing audience since they are having their coffee).

== Feedback ==

* It was a bit hit or miss this year with a few great demos; and a couple of no shows.
* It is really recommended to have two screens in order to avoid any AV switching.

== Hapless Volunteers ==

* [[User:Jive | Jody Garnett]]
* You! (add your name to this list to volunteer)

Where possible we will try and have community leaders introduce the members of their community that are offering demos.

= Demo Theatre =

Demo Venue:
* This year we are taking over one of the presentations spaces during the lunch break and afternoon tea.

Demo Facilities:
* We will have two overheads projectors (so one team can set up as another is presenting)

== Demo Schedule ==

The demo schedule is being set now (over the month of August) as it is one of the last things to be placed into the program.

August:
* 3 Aug, 2009: Sponsors -- Initial email contact
* 10 Aug, 2009: Sponsors -- Contacted via Phone
September:
* 7 Sep 2009: Community Leaders asked to contact their email lists and FOSS4G Submissions Contacted (Workshops/Tutorials/Presentations)
* 14 Sep 2009: Demo Schedule Finalized
* 21 Sep 2009: Printed Program Deadline

Please keep in mind:
* Primary spots are at the start of Lunch and the afternoon tea break (these time slots have the most walk-by traffic to feed on)
* We will group similar content together (both to allow direct comparison and to let those interested in a topic to mark off a block of time)
* Demos are the last thing to be Scheduled in terms of conference priorities - we do not anticipate any conflicts since we are running in the breaks this year
* If you would like to do a demonstration in the theatre, please contact the theatre coordinator [mailto:jody.garnett@lisasoft.com?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration demos]
* We will open the demo theatre up to sponsors first (they are paying for this party after all) and then to the general community
* When the call goes out it will be first come first served (no fancy attempt to balance the content or match the conference agenda - this is a simple activity)

note: * note a poster session has also been scheduled for this timeslot

= Giving a Demo =

The first step is to have something to demo:
* You have 10 minutes
* You must demo software (really - it is an open source software conference)
* Show us, rather that talk. It is better to show software and leave time for questions than to try and handle this as a presentation.
* Source code is hard to read and does not qualify for "show us"
* You will have 5 mins to set up prior, and 5 mins to tear down. Please be prompt as there is someone waiting to start after you.
* Sponsors (or anyone starting a session): you will have access to the room for a bit before the session starts - if you want to take the time drag in a poster (or put hand outs on the chairs) more power to you.

The second step is to email us:
* [mailto:jody.garnett@lisasoft.com?Subject=FOSS4G Demonstration demos]
* Let us know of any schedule constraints (perhaps you are presenting or giving a lab)
* We will get back to you with a timeslot (we will be organizing the demos according to subject matter or community).

== Suggestions ==

Is this your first time doing a demo?
* If you are used to doing presentations; try this approach: Show the software and hand out your presentation in paper form.
* Be excited, what you are showing is *cool* and meeting people like you is why we come to these conferences anyways
* Hang around to the end of the session, many people that would like to ask you questions will be hesitant to walk out of the room to chase you down.

You may also wish to bring:
* Something to hand out (Your business card, demo-CDs, academic papers, t-shirts)

If you would like to have someone introduce you please warn them before hand:
- Your professor? Your company's marketing department? Your open source project lead?

Let people know where to find you:
* For sponsors - be sure to include a slide showing the location of your booth
* For academics - let them know if you have a poster up

== Warning ==

Bring your own laptop, do not expect to install software during your demo (you only have 10 minutes).
* This advice can be ignored if you want to demo the fact you have a slick installer now
* You may wish to make a back up "flash" demo (use http://debugmode.com/wink/ for example) in case the worst happens (THIS IS GOOD ADVICE)
* Turn off virus checkers, ebay bidding tools, email applications and anything else that is going to leap up and ask for attention in an embarrassing manner

With respect to the Internet:
* Ensure you can connect to the wireless network before starting your presentation
* We will try and have a LAN drop for you
* Expect the Internet to be slow (there are a lot of fun toys at a conference like this all of which want their piece of the packet pie)
* Run from a local service installed on your laptop if you can

== Questions ==

==== Is there a PC with Internet? ====

Please bring your own laptop (that way you can be sure it is set up correctly for your demo), there will be a LAN drop (or you can make use of the conference wireless).

==== How long should a demo be? ====

The demo slot is 10 mins, you may want to use the entire time to show your application. Or you may want to show the application for for 5 mins and answer a few questions.

==== Do demo's have to be visual? ====

It depends on what you are showing, if you want to show that "Using JTS Prepaired Geometry is 120% faster" a simple JUnit test and a code example may be all that is needed. If you want to demonstrate an open source compass based on two GPS units you may wish to dance around the room in an entertaining manner.

: Fran Peñarrubia: fran.penarrubia@... IVER company
: Miguel Montesinos: mmontesinos@... ProDevelop company

;4. Please describe your Project.
:gvSIG is a project mainly sponsored by the Regional Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport of Valencia, Spain. It is aimed at developing a comprehensive desktop GIS solution that easily integrates services provided by Spatial Data Infrastructures as well as regular sources of geospatial data. More information can be found at the project web site (www.gvsig.org = www.gvsig.gva.es).
: gvSIG is now widely used in many administrations, public and private organizations in Spain, Latin America and elsewhere. The project has been so far developed mostly in cooperation with local companies and universities, and it aims now at extending its base of developers and users.

;5. Why is hosting at OSGeo good for your project?
: * The gvSIG project would like to extend its community of international developers and users, providing a more open platform for collaboration. The adoption by OSGeo is expected to help us in doing that transition.
: * The gvSIG project would like to strengthen its ties to other FOSS GIS projects.
: * The gvSIG project aims at maintaining a high degree of quality and compliance with open standards and practices supported by international organizations, as well as participating in the improvement of those standards and practices.

;6. Type of application does this project represent(client, server, standalone, library, etc.):
: A multiplatform, Java-based standalone desktop application.

;7. Please describe any relationships to other open source projects.
: gvSIG has working relationships with many FOSS projects. In the geospatial area:
: * MapServer, GeoServer, deegree, GeoNetwork. Since gvSIG integrates services provided by these tools, direct contact has been established with developers and representatives of these projects, which in many cases have resulted in fixes and improvements on both sides.
: * GeoTools, PostGIS. Results of these projects are used within gvSIG and direct contact has been established with project developers and representatives to define common interests.

;8. Please describe any relationships with commercial companies or products.
: Recently, gvSIG has been adding support for commercial geospatial web services and databases, adding drivers for ArcIMS (ESRI) Map and Feature services, and support for Oracle Spatial databases and ArcSDE (ESRI) will be coming soon. However, no direct contact or agreement exists with those companies.

;9. Which open source license(s) will the source code be released under?
: gvSIG is released under GNU Public License (GPL).

;10. Is there already a beta or official release?
: Yes, gvSIG was first released on October 2004 and it is currently in version 1.0.2.

;11. What is the origin of your project (commercial, experimental, thesis or other higher education, government, or some other source)?
: It is government sponsored, originally within an open source migration programme. It currently has strong commercial and educational participation.

;12. Does the project support open standards? Which ones and to what extent? (OGC, w3c, ect.) Has the software been certified to any standard (CITE for example)? If not, is it the intention of the project owners to seek certification at some point?
: gvSIG wholeheartedly supports open standards, specifically:
: * XML and related standards from W3C, in document persistence and in all accesses to remote services.
: * OGC standards, as web service client:
: ** WMS (1.1.0 - 1.3.0)
: ** WFS (1.0.0) + GML import/export (2.1.2) at 1.0
: ** WCS (1.0.0)
: ** Catalogue search (OGC CSW 2.0, IDEC)
: ** Gazetteer search (WFS 1.0.0, WFS-G 0.9, ADL)
: * GML 2.X, as data import and export

;13. Is the code free of patents, trademarks, and do you control the copyright?
: gvSIG is free of patents and trademarks, and the copyright is controlled by the project owners.

;14. How many people actively contribute (code, documentation, other?) to the project at this time?
: Core coding: 40
: Documentation/testing: 10
: Admin, support, training: 12
: Other (collaborators, consultants) 5

;15. How many people have commit access to the source code repository?
: Currently, most developers, about 30. Access is restricted during stabilization phases.

;16. Approximately how many users are currently using this project?
: We directly know about 1,000 active users in public administrations and about 200 users in universities. We estimate based on download numbers and list activity about 18,000 active users overall.

;17. What type of users does your project attract (government, commercial, hobby, academicknow research, etc. )?
: Mostly from government organizations and academic institutions (for education and research). Several companies are already providing customized versions and extensions used in different professional contexts.

;18. If you do not intend to host any portion of this project using the OSGeo infrastructure, why should you be considered a member project of the OSGeo Foundation?
: We would evaluate the options to use the OSGeo infrastructure, however, our goals in joining OSGeo (see question 5) do not depend on the actual hosting infrastructure.

;19. Does the project include an automated build and test?
: It does include automatic build procedures and some automated tests. We are currently actively extending the suite of automated tests.

;20. What language(s) are used in this project? (C/Java/perl/etc)
: Java, with some JNI bridges to support C-based libraries like GDAL.

;21. What is the dominant written language (i.e. English, French, Spanish, German, etc) of the core developers?
: Spanish, but a good number of them are proficient in English and some in French.

;22. What is the (estimated) size of a full release of this project? How many users do you expect to download the project when it is released?
