[OSGeo-Discuss] OSM2NetworkDataset Version 1.1 available

2011-11-07 Thread Ann Hitchcock
Dear List,

The Geoprocessing Community announces a new release of OSM2NetworkDataset!
Version 1.1 now supports ArcGIS 10.0, as well as ArcGIS 9.3.1. New features
include restrictions for tracktype, smoothness, surface, and maxwidth.

The Java application OSM2NetworkDataset converts OpenStreetMap (OSM) data so
it can be used for network analyses in the ArcGIS extension Network Analyst.
It is designed to generate transportation networks for any mode of
transportation and any region. The generated networks are based on OSM
attributes, such as restrictions, one-way roads, turn restrictions, point
barriers, and maximum speed. The path can be chosen according to the
shortest distance or the shortest time with user defined average speed
settings.

download OSM2NetworkDataset 1.1 for ArcGIS:

http://52north.org/downloads/geoprocessing/osm2nds
more information about the OSM2NetworkDataset here:
http://52north.org/communities/geoprocessing/osm2nds/index.html

The Geoprocessing Community has recently set up a new OSM2NetworkDataset
public  http://list.52north.org/mailman/listinfo/Osm2nds mailing list
(http://list.52north.org/mailman/listinfo/Osm2nds) and a forum
(http://osm2nds.forum.52north.org/) . Users and developers alike can post
questions and/or information about current developments. Please feel free to

[OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Membership Nomination: Suchith Anand

2011-11-07 Thread Jo Cook
Dear All,

I would like to nominate Suchith Anand as an OSGeo Charter Member. His
tireless enthusiasm in promoting OSGeo in the UK has been immensely
beneficial to the UK chapter. His work to promote open source geospatial
software use in education (see http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/) is of great
importance and benefit to OSGeo globally. Furthermore, his work securing an
MOU between OSGeo and the Centre for Geospatial Sciences at the University
of Nottingham, and more recently with the International Cartographic
Association should be recognised. Suchith is exactly the sort of
pro-active, enthusiastic person that we need in OSGeo!

Thanks

Jo

 If you have the time, please take this survey. The results will be

Hello all,

I wonder how the prize can influence the participation to the survey.

Personally, I don't want to win a product which is deliberately closed
and whose interoperability with other products/systems is not a
priority. Isn't that putting it in contrast with OGC leading principles?

 Subject: [OGC Press Release] Take the 'Business Value of OGC
 Standards' Survey!
 
 
 PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 For information about this announcement, contact:
 
 Contact:
 Steven Ramage
 Executive Director, Marketing and Communications
 Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)
 http://www.opengeospatial.org/contact

 *** Win an Apple iPad 2 Tablet, an Apple iPod touch or Bose AE2
 headphones! ***
 
 The survey is a joint effort by two academic researchers who are OGC
 members and by the OGC Business Value Committee. Dr. Mu Xia at Santa
 Clara University and Dr. Kexin Zhao at the University of North
 Carolina at Charlotte developed the survey based on requirements from
 the OGC Business Value Committee to support their studies on standards
 effectiveness. The OGC Business Value Committee will use a summary of
 the results to help the OGC better understand the value of the
 OGC's open standards and improve its programs for geospatial
 standards development, compliance testing and outreach.
 
 We encourage everyone involved with geospatial or location data,
 software and services to complete the survey. This is an opportunity
 for technical and commercial colleagues to work together and highlight
 their business needs and requirements around open standards.  OGC
 membership is not a requirement, and you can participate even if the
 software you use or provide does not implement OGC standards.
 
 The survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Individual
 responses will be seen only by the researchers and OGC staff. The
 researchers will summarize the data gathered from the survey, removing
 all references to individual responses, and make the summary available
 to OGC Business Value Committee members. An executive summary will be
 provided to survey respondents.
 
 The researchers have prepared two versions of the online survey. To
 take the survey, if you are a technology user, visit
 http://uncc.surveyshare.com/s/AQAIJDC. If you are a technology
 provider (a vendor or a system integrator) or a consultant, visit
 http://uncc.surveyshare.com/s/AQAIZBC. If you are not sure which
 version to use, contact us. Please also forward this message to others
 who might be interested in completing the survey.
 
 The survey period is 1st November through 18th December 2011.
  Prizes will be awarded at random to three individuals who
 complete the survey. The first person whose name is drawn after the
 survey has closed will receive an iPad 2 (16GB, WiFi), the second will
 receive an iPod Touch (8GB, 4th Generation) and the third will receive
 a set of Bose AE2 headphones.
 
 Thanks for your support!
 
 The members of the OGC Business Value Committee
 http://www.opengeospatial.org/projects/groups/businessvalue
 
 The OGC is an international consortium of more than 430 companies,
 government agencies, research organizations, and universities
 participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available
 geospatial standards. OGC Standards support interoperable solutions
 that geo-enable the Web, wireless and location-based services, and
 mainstream IT. OGC Standards empower technology developers to make
 geospatial information and services useful with any application that
 needs to be geospatially enabled. Visit the OGC website at

Hi,
just to make sure: Anybody is entitled to nominate, second and support
the nomination of OSGeo Charter Members. You do not have to be in any
way officially entitled by OSGeo to nominate folks.

Plus I want to stress that we need nominations from all around the globe
because OSGeo aims at being the *global* voice for Open Source
Geospatial and therefore must also have global representation in it's
charter membership. Right now this is still heavily biased to the
north-western quartisphere (or whatever half a hemisphere might be called).

Best regards,
Arnulf

[OSGeo-Discuss] Reminder: Charter member election

2011-11-07 Thread Daniel Morissette

OSGeo Community,

This is a reminder that the nomination period is open for the 2011 
charter member election.


All the details at
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Election_2011#Charter_Member_Election

A few notes and points worth mention:

1- Please forward this announcement to all local chapter lists, and 
consider nominating active members of your local chapter / community. As 
Arnulf wrote earlier today: we need nominations from all around the 
globe because OSGeo aims at being the *global* voice for Open Source 
Geospatial and therefore must also have global representation in it's 
charter membership.


2- Please mail your nominations to c...@osgeo.org, and CC the discuss 
list. Adding nominations to the wiki directly or sending only to the 
discuss list is not sufficient and risks your nomination being missed or 
lost.


3- Please don't wait and send your nominations right away!

[OSGeo-Discuss] Translation to Indian languages Feed back please

2011-11-07 Thread Ravi Kumar
Indian scene:
European: English to Spanish etc are meant for using GIS itself by the learned 
user. 
Indictranslation: Most Indians who use GIS use it in English. The Indic 
translation is for making
                         the semi-english-literate to actually use FOSS4G tools 
for villages, for local administration etc.
                         So the english word is just changed to indian 
language, such that user can read english in his own script.

FOSS4G tools are all front-end translatable, with ease or with a pinch of salt.
All those who have tried/succeeded in Indic translation may pl give their 
experience.

To Grade software-usability easy translation is one of the parameters.

Translating properties files. 
Online: this needs a good internet connection (and also a feeling that you may 
mess it up)
Offline: You do it at leisure, using openoffice/googletransliterate etc

Translation with coding: 
I wonder, how many FOSS4G tools still have stayed here..??
Where after translation the code needs re-compilation, or work that a 
programmer only can do.
