Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G NA Web Site
Not sure if you've got an issue tracker for the web site at the moment, but the template for author pages looks broken - the sidebar content is appearing under the main content: http://foss4g-na.org/author/dbitner/ Nice bold graphics and hipster slab-serif font though :) I am currently recovering from WordPress hell doing the new as yet unreleased FOSS4G2013 web site. My sympathies are with you as I see you also are using WordPress... On Wed, Nov 28, 2012 at 1:44 PM, David William Bitner david.bit...@gmail.com wrote: Landon, Thanks for the kind words!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Is Your Project In OSGeo Labs?
Ezra: I'm trying to do some clean-up of Labs this week. I'll be assembling a list of projects in labs shortly. I post back to discuss when this work is complete. Thanks.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Is Your Project In OSGeo Labs?
Ari: It sounds like Geoinformatica is a raster algebra and raster visualization library writtin in Perl with support for GTK. Is that a fair description? If you are interested, I can work the next couple of weeks to get Geoinformatica set up in Labs. Let me know, and we can move our conversation over to the incubation mailing list so we don't bore people on the discuss mailing list. Thanks for responding to my inquiry!

Since I'm editing that page today, here is the list: Stable Projects: - GeoWebCache - pgRouting Young and Experimental Projects - GeoExt - GeoFunctions - Geoinformatica Geoinformatica is my project, it's not young, but it's experimental. It's made of a part in C, libral, and several Perl packages, which build on GDAL and GTK+ Perl bindings (I also maintain the GDAL Perl bindings). The oldest parts are in libral, which date at least 10 years back. libral was a simple raster algebra package, but I've added to it a simple visualization library to render GDAL rasters and vectors to a memory canvas (pixbuf), which can be given to GDK (a GTK+ subsystem). I've made an effort to separate this library into a library of its own (gvl - also a part of Geoinformatica), but it's not in use. Geoinformatica has a very small community, I guess one reason is because the Perl geospatial community is small(?) and distributed. Also, maybe it's the experimental or personal thing, but maintaining stable APIs or a reasonable development path in several interdependent libraries has been quite difficult for me. However, I regularly use Geoinformatica myself. I use the GUI a bit less because QGIS has become very good and because there is not yet useful WMS and WFS GUIs to use the GDAL WMS and WFS drivers in it. Lately I've written WxS servers (WMS and WFS are functional already) with it - Perl has traditionally very good web/CGI support so that's interesting. I think OSGeo Labs could be a good forum and platform for collaboration with academia, especially the OSGeo Academic Network and the emerging network of research labs collaborating with OSGeo and FOSS4G in general. One issue I have observed is that the developer community in academic FOSS4G (and other geospatial) users/members is still a small minority. Yes, I'm in academia too. This may be the best portal for Geoinformatica things in the web http://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/en/software/ Cheers and thanks Landon for taking this up, Ari - OpenGeocoder - OpenRouter - Grids - OSGeo Graphics - pycsw - OWSLib - SemanticGeo - ZOO-Project Can you please let me know if you are involved with one of these projects?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Is Your Project In OSGeo Labs?
Landon, Projects we are keeping an eye on for OSGeo-Live are listed at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Packages#Package_wishlist (along with the full OSGeo-Live list at http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html ) These are all either OSGeo projects, or candidates for osgeo labs.
