Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Board Election Results for 2011

2011-08-23 Thread Ravi Kumar
Congrats new members of the board, and those continuing.

Good to see a Lady on the board, who is also from a field science using Foss4G 
tools.
May you spread the good word of Foss4G tools for the entire world, away from 
the small pools where it is presently concentrated.
Cheers
Ravi Kumar

[OSGeo-Discuss] QGIS Ogr2Layer

2011-08-23 Thread Addy Pope
I have been using your OGR2Layer plugin for QGIS and it seems great.  
However, i am trying to run it on my laptop (win7) and it keeps bombing 
with the same error message: New symbology is not yet implemented, 
it'll be ready soon


Any ideas how to get round this?  The input file and theming works on a 
version i am running on a desktop.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Networking Opportunity at FOSS4G

2011-08-23 Thread Tyler Mitchell
Hi all,

Just a quick note to mention that OSGeo will have a grand size booth space at 
FOSS4G, with lots of space for meeting friends, old and new.  The Booth ends up 
being the goto place for finding others in the community.

I've got some marketing material to hand out and show off, but that won't be 
much help without some hands to hand it out :)

This is an invite to all members to join the team running the booth.  Can you 
talk to new potential users, show off some applications (even your own work!) 
that use OSGeo software, or just generally smile and be friendly?  Then you are 
uniquely qualified!

It's the face-to-face marketing collaboration opportunity for 2011 - sign up at:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2011_OSGeo_Booth

Let me know if you have questions!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Networking Opportunity at FOSS4G

2011-08-23 Thread Robert Hollingsworth
Couple thoughts to add

1. since the individual OSGeo projects don't have dedicated exhibit booths at 
the conference, might be nice if there is a listing at the OSGeo booth of any 
of the projects' major developers, steering committee members and other 'heavy 
hitters' who are at the conference so other people can track them down..  where 
that's not already easy to figure out by examining the list of presenters and 
workshop instructors.

2. with a number of different people staffing the booth over the three days, 
and each probably trucking their own laptops in and out for demos, what's a 
good way to have some continuity in terms of what demos are available, no 
matter who happens to be at the booth at the moment?

Not a bad idea.  Similarly, maybe project team members might like to have a 
pre-defined slot to be at the booth showing their projects off.  Any project 
team members interested in that approach?

Maybe just keep links on the wiki page.  We've got a small start pointing to 
demo videos at least.

OSGeo Live in a Virtual Machine (or live booted) - you can show people
almost every app that is a Project and then some + the overview and
quickstart docs for all of them. There's also plenty of sample data and
projects already pre-configured.

FYI version 5.0 will be out in time for Foss4g and will be in everyone's
bag.

Thanks,
Alex
