[OSGeo-Discuss] how to produce a Peirce quincuncial map?
As far as I know PROJ4 cannot apply the Peirce quincuncial projection. Does anybody know what libraries/softwares can manage it? giovanni ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] Fwd: Re: Board Nomination: Hirofumi Hayashi
(forwarding response from Hayashi-san) Dear All, Sorry for the delay in my response. I feel honored to be nominated to the OSGeo Board. I have been a part of the very active Japanese community in promoting FOSS4G since the inception of OSGeo in 2006. I am grateful to Venkatesh Raghavan and Toru Mori for introducing me to the FOSS4G world. Through my participation in OSGeo related activities I have had the immense pleasure of getting to know the global OSGeo community and its amazing role in fostering high quality geospatial software. As exemplified by the FOSS4G conferences, the main strength of OSGeo lies in a its broad based nature rather than a hierarchical approach. I particularly look forward to working with this young and vibrant community and do my best for further strengthening OSGeo. I would like to encourage and bring-in new software projects such as ZOO-Project, goGPS-Project, pgRouting etc. into the OSGeo realm. I would like to particularly focus of building strong tie-ups with OSGeo communities in Asia and contribute to adoption of FOSS4G in Asia region.

Thanks Alex. I will investigate more. It's an odd projection but it has interesting features. Maybe I will try to implement it in proj4... giovanni Sent from Nexus Il giorno 13/ago/2012 18:46, Alex Mandel tech_...@wildintellect.com ha scritto: On 08/13/2012 05:29 AM, G.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Countdown to OSGeoLive 6.0 - final call for testing
Hi everyone, as we're winding down from a particularly busy beta series for our next big release, I realize that we never really put out a general call for testing (partly I suppose because Angelos Tzotsos has been doing such a good job of it!). But now we need more eyeballs. So consider this to be that call for testing: Please help test! The hour is late, we have just a few days to go before it goes to the printers and any bugs in your favourite software get set in plastic. In particular, burning to bootable DVDs, installing to bootable USB drives (see the included instructions on the disc or online), and installing to VMs, is only lightly tested so far. here's Cameron's post about our schedule for the next few days: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/live-demo/2012-August/006060.html please report and view known bugs here; please be sure to set the trac component as LiveDVD: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/report/10 ISO downloads for testing are available now from Angelos Alex: On 08/12/2012, Angelos Tzotsos wrote: Hi all, The final beta of OSGeoLive 6.0 is out for testing: http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/6.0/osgeo-live-mini-6.0beta10.iso Status of the project can be found here: https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/report/10 We only have one major issue open, regarding Ushahidi at this point.
