== Participants ==

== Basic Premise ==

Each WMS will be set up on the server box to serve exactly the same set of LAYERS. A JMeter load will be run on the testing box to exercise various aspect of those layers.

== Layers ==

* '''texas_roads_unstyled''' This test exercises raw data access speed. The lines are black, the background is white, there are a hundred or so lines in each output image. The output is a two-color PNG8 image.
* '''texas_roads_styled''' This test exercises the renderer a bit more. The lines will be "pipe-styled" and different road types will have different styles. TODO(Define the road classes and expected styles.)
* '''texas_roads_styled_scale''' This test exercises the renderer a bit more. The layer should be a single table/shapefile, the styling would just draw the highways up to a certain scale, and all the roads afterwards. The stress test shall jump between zoom levels to assess the rendering is smart enough to read only the necessary data.
* '''texas_roads_styled_labeled''' This test exercises the render and the label algorithms. Combine the above style with road labels. Labels will follow curves. TODO(Define the expected labeling look. We know that exact matches between engines will be impossible, this will be a "best efforts" test)
* '''point_layer_styled''' This test exercises the ability of the renderer to build a map in which points are symbolized with a certain number of externally provided icons (png/svg) depending on some point attribute.
* '''polygon layers''' Include one or two test layers to exercise polygon rendering, with solid fill or hatch patterns. For this test the type of classification matters less than the number and complexity of the polygons (number of vertices and rings) which is the aspect we should work on. e.g. render maps with a few complex polygons vs other maps with lots of small polygons.
* '''single big ECW file''' (actual data TBD). This test exercises the ability to read a single wavelet compressed file and return it in JPEG format.
* '''file system mosaic of TIFF tiles'''. Generated out of the ECW file by splitting it into a sizeable amount of tiles, this test checks the ability of the server to efficiently retrieve data from a large collection of images and deal the associated file handling issues (ulimit and the like). It can also serve as a comparison with ECW results.

== Data ==

* Data will reside in '''/opt/data''' on the testing server. Do not add any data to this directory without also describing it fully on this page.

== Software ==

For those of us who have to build our software, the builds will be staged in '''/opt/build'''

=== Libraries ===

* GEOS 3.1.1 installed in /usr/local (pramsey)
* Proj4 SVN trunk installed in /usr/local (pramsey)
* libecw installed in /usr/local (pramsey)
* GDAL 1.6.1 installed in /usr/local (pramsey)
* AGG 2.5 installed in /usr/local (pramsey)
* FastCGI (TBD)

=== Databases ===

* PostgreSQL installed in /usr/local/pgsql (pramsey)
** PostgreSQL 8.3.7
** PostGIS 1.4.0
** PGDATA in /home/postgres/data

Africa Local Chapter

2008-10-02T07:56:43Z

Wiki-Msmith: add links to list, remove link to odd (now missing) domain.

Use this page as scratch pad to design activities within the Africa domain, project, local chapter, etc. Maybe it is a good idea to start with a member list with some a short introduction or link to the all members page.

Please join the [http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/africa Africa] mailing list, and review the [http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/africa/ archive].

= Introduction =
During the [http://www.foss4g2008.org/ FOSS4G2008 conference] in Cape Town, South Africa, there will be conference rooms available for people to hold Birds-of-a-Feather sessions. These are groups who self-organise informally around something in common, like a project, interest, local chapter, or language.

Note: Times are subject to change until the main programme is finalised (around mid-August)

= Timetable =
A timetable will be posted when BoF sessions firm up. Changes and new sessions will be posted on announcement boards during the event. In the meantime start your planning below.

BoF primetime is on Tuesday 30th after presentations end. We have the rooms till closing time around 11pm so you can go on as long as you like or we could set up two 'shifts'. Your BoF could even turn into a codesprint.

== Tuesday September 30, 2008 ==
This is the primary BOF time slot.
* BOF sessions can be scheduled from 17h15 till late
* Labs and Presentations are scheduled to end at 17h00
* Venues available: 5 x presentation rooms.

== Wednesday October 1, 2008 ==
* The session after tea has 2 x Labs running but no Presentations.
* BOF sessions can be scheduled from 15h30 to 17h45
* the buses for the [http://conference.osgeo.org/index.php/foss4g/2008/announcement/view/3 Gala Event at Moyo in Stellenbosch] leave at 18:00
