[OSGeo-Discuss] Calling all Charter Members @ Foss4g - volunteer at the booth
While it's completely open to anyone to help with the OSGeo booth it would be great if Charter Members and other well known involved individuals would spend an hour at the booth some point during the conference. If you sign-up it will help us know who to expect and who to thank later. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G2011_OSGeo_Booth#Signup_Schedule Catch me or Robert Hollingsworth at the conference if you have any questions or want to know how to help. Thanks, Alex Mandel IRC:Wildintellect ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] New Soil Network new members and recognizing Chris Schmidt and Tristan O'Neil
Hi OS GEO folks, After my New Soil Land Planner post today I got 6 new members in a matter of hours while I was out tending cattle on a perfect fall day. For those that came from here, thanks for checking the project out. Chris Schmidt http://crschmidt.net/ and Tristan O'Neil http://tristanoneil.com/resume/ both worked a lot with William Morris on core function and UI for the Land Planner. Thanks Chris, for providing the heads up and posting the code you wrote. I've posted the code link to the google doc punch list.

[OSGeo-Discuss] New Soil Land Planner: Sandro and Carsten's comments
Hi Sandro, Carsten, Sandro, thanks for the insight. I agree with the sentiment, but am a pretty (completely) simple guy when it comes to the back-end details. Flash 8 instead of 9 seems to be the key. I chose the Ning platform because it was easy for me to set up and had a lot of useful functions. I hadn't anticipated the lack of compatibility with systems libre, but will ask about flash 8 when next in communication with Ning. Carsten, thanks for the supportive comments. I'm not sure how to enlist you, but thanks for checking it out. I expect that the real utility will begin when users begin to exchange and support each other, and I need to get a basic level of usefulness before I turn it loose on them. We graziers and farmers have our strengths, but computers are rarely one. Getting the UI to a very simple, intuitive state is high priority for that reason...remove every obstacle to participation possible to get at the wealth of knowledge/experience that many producers have secreted behind their farmgate. All of the code is Aramaic to me, too. I just have a hunch about the functionality I'm looking for. Just think of all the open-source code in a teaspoon of soil, with the equivalent of a very busy list-serve for exchange of info...the bugs may be unaware of how it's all working, but the info gets swapped in the process. The bugs do have a strong hunch that they want to eat, avoid getting eaten, and reproduce. I'm like the bugs. Other users (regulars), please call me out if I'm taking up too much room, or should carry out conversations in private or something like that. Cheers, goodnight.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo-Live 5.0 released - the Open Source Geospatial DVD
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 El 08/09/11 14:41, Cameron Shorter escribió: Thanks all for your positive feedback, but I'd be remiss not to point out who really deserves the credit. We have in the order of 80 people have contributed at various times to packaging and translating applications on OSGeo-Live. But in particular, Alex Mandel, Hamish Bowman, Brian Hamlin and Angelos Tzotsos have put in an exceptional amount of unglamorous work to get this release out. They have turned releases over, trawled through compile logs looking for bugs, tested and then re-tested applications, and hovered on IRC chat answering questions and supporting other developers get their applications working. It is the combined work of all these people, working quietly in the background on lots of small tasks, which makes the DVD the quality product it has become. I think the true value of this DVD is not just that people have the chance to easily trial Geospatial Open Source software, but that it presents the software in a professional way, demonstrating the attention to detail present in our OSGeo-Stack, which gives new users the confidence to switch from proprietary software. Oh, and Stephen, we do include information about pgrouting here: http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/pgrouting_overview.html Totally agree with Cameron, without the efforts from Alex, Hamish, Brian an Angelos that couldn't be possible, you rock guys!!
