WMS fun and games (Was: where are we)
There is a WMS (OpenGIS Web Mapping Server) available at http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/ or in older GIS packages http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/?Request=GetCapabilities For those who do not have ArcInfo or other GIS tools; see http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/WMSClient.jar which is a very simple browse/zoom/scale tool. And this is what you then see (screenshots): http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/x4.gif http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/x1.gif http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/x2.gif http://demo.asemantics.com/wms/asf/x3.gif Instructions: run the jar java -jar WMSClient.jar Select 'demo.asemantics.com' in the top pull down and hit the little yellow lightning strike Then in the middle left pane a list of resources appears. open the ASF one and double click on the one: Location Zoom in as you want :-) But this is no fun; as there are no other layers (background maps). So form the top pull down select 'globe.digitalearth.gov' and pull in a few entries from 'Context layers'. If you start pulling in layers from the physical paprameters; be aware of orders; those usually are NOT transparant; so use the 'up/down' to move them to the bottom of your stack. There are quite a few other example apps you can use http://www.demis.nl/DEMIS_UK/Products/Demis%20Map%20Server.htm and the OGC lists but a few of them: http://www.opengis.org/testing/product/index.php Note: error handling is far from conformant; and getFeatureInfo is not (yet) implemented - and not sure if I should :-) Dw. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From: Ben Hyde [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are 14 folks in committers/urls.txt now. http://www.cozy.org/ben/map.jpg Surprisingly few people in the bay area, go figure. Three don't have geo info in the referenced page so... so I took Mr. Davidson's[1] advice and dumped them in the Pacific. http://www.cozy.org/ben/private_map.jpg (that's temporary) Europe is overpopulated. Labels are hardly read. Welcome to Russia. We have a lot of space here. It's just a matter of removing the minus sign in the first coordinate ;) -- Konstantin There are lots of things people could start adding. A tester to see if the URL has any useful info. Grab links like: link rel=alternate type=application/rss+xml title=RSS href=http://enthusiasm.cozy.org//index.rdf; / and color the dots to show recent updates (xplanet will let you specify a color with the locations). Scan the logs (cvs, mail) and color on recent activity. Color using the info in: committers/board/committee-info.txt Get your subcommunity to pile onto the bandwagon. Put the map someplace on the apache.org sites. Use a .qmail-foobar file on cvs.apache.org trigger automatic rebuilds have fun! - ben [1] James Duncan Davidson wrote: ... in Hawaii.

As someone who doesn't maintain a personal site and doesn't want to just to put ICBM info there, I'd prefer to just put my info in a file directly. Fair. Good news, you don't need to have a personal site, all you need is a place to put a page you control. Happy day there is your ~/public_html/foobar.html on cvs.apache.org, e.g. http://cvs.apache.org/~bhyde/ Then I'll admit I had assorted hidden agendas. I'm very interested the theory and practice of an identity system that avoids having _any_ hub what so ever. I'm sad to have the url.txt file at all. I'd rather have done some of those cool new uri/dns tricks. I'm curious if it's actually viable for identity info to be maintained closer to the entity identified rather than the identity provider. I believe that such info should be volunteered rather than ascribed. I'm very interested in the problem of how you aggregate knowledge about entities in any identity system with out prejudging what that info might be. So I tried to pick the least-est info to accumulate it first and I wanted it distributed immediately so that it would force the enterprise to never assume it had control very much over the actual data. I think for a hack like this to scale well and grow fast you need to have it spitting fun value out at every step along the way. It's more fun for me to scrap than design XML schemas. I think it's healthy if the schema designers are trying to catch up with the genie after it gets out of the bottle.

I wonder if we could do something fun. I think it would be fun to have a map that shows where the various people in the community are located on the planet. My fuzzy idea is that members of the community would put ICBM tags[1] on some web page of their. That can drive the map building. Use the author tag to grab their names. They then put some other kind of tag on a page, like meta name=ASF-KIND content=committer They then poke something we keep back at central command so we can accumulate the list. If we use committers repository for that we can easily authenticate people. If we keep it simple to start we can obviously do assorted richer things later, but if all we try to do up front is get a map of the committers that would be sufficiently neat. wdyt? - ben [1] http://geourl.com/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Where are we?
My fuzzy idea is that members of the community would put ICBM tags[1] on some web page of their. That can drive the map building. Use the [1] http://geourl.com/ That lands me on a domain squatter. It's a cool idea, but I'm a little apprehensive about being targeted by ICBMs...

Ok so the file is in /etc/passwd style with three columns separated by colons. The first field is your cvs.apache.org login id, the second and third combine to make a URL. The first column is the key and should be unique over the file.

As far as the mapping software, the Debian guys have done something like this in the past... I'll see if I can get some information. -- David N.

That is right. There is some discussion on another Apache mailing list (which one?) about adding additional bio information for each committer to each project's who.xml Another element could be locationx149.73/xy-34.73/y/location Actually i would rather that this bio info was stored in the committers CVS instead of scattered through each project. --David - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
