Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] LINUX-GEODAS in Wine?
i had discusios wit the developer before he retired. the liux suite is not as developed as the windows version, that icludes the data tools and the viewer. the website echos his opinion, strongly urging the use of the windows version. - Original Message - From: Noli Sicad nsi...@gmail.com To: OSGeo Discussions discuss@lists.osgeo.org Sent: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 01:43:56 - (UTC) Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] LINUX-GEODAS in Wine?

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo list of programmers?
Hi all, I was recently asked by a company which was originally focused on proprietary software development and gradually opens up to OSGeo related development, how to deal with the problem of (quickly) finding software developers specialized in OSGeo related software. Their problem is that they are not much familiar with our community style of development and that they need to sometimes find quick solutions for tight deadlines. Perhaps we need something similar to Service Provider Directory at http://www.osgeo.org/search_profile which is better supporting the many individuals in our communities in the style of rent an OSGeo programmer? This could even stimulate the market and contradict the still existing opinion that FOSS is less supported with contracts and such. Note: a company, say, from my current home town will unlikely call in India or US or ... to find an OSGeo programmer. They prefer a person who speaks Italian and is ideally not too far away for practical reasons. But how to find such people? Here OSGeo could help and offer a dedicated list where individuals could register to showcase their skills. Best seen with direct links to OSGeo SVN record of course...! Opinions?

[OSGeo-Discuss] The depth of FOSS Spatial Data Infrastructure
Some so called SDI experts feel that FOSS SDI cannot perform at-par with Proprietary SDI. Please provide examples to fight a case from an Indian state which swears by Free and Open Source Software. We can never expect a better level playing field. Kerala - India Here are some excerpts from a document that has false claims supporting Proprietary Software. However, it is worthwhile to mention here that the OSS (Open Source Software) does not match the advanced functionalities of many of the commercial (proprietory) software that is in the market. Image processing and analysis capabilities of the open source software is not comparable to the commercial software when one require to carry out advanced data manipulations, image fusion, 3D modeling, ortho-correction, auto-georeferencing, stereo-image/air photo interpretation, advanced geospatial analysis etc., In such cases, certain proprietary software become an integral part of the Spatial Data Infrastructures, which can not be avoided. At a later stage the some of the proprietary software need to be purchased. It is a well known fact that web portal that run with OSS are neither OGC-compliant nor interoperable. At the present juncture it is only possible to establish the KSDI Geoportal with the available COTS enterprise software. The detailed PDF document will be emailed on demand.

Markus, I think the service provider directory is the correct vehicle for this purpose, and that instead of making something distinct we ought to just promote amoung the rent an OSGeo programmer crowd more.

Sounds like an excellent document! Email it on and I'll have it neatly butchered. The web portal claim is remarkable, as are claims of limited analysis capabilities.
