[OSGeo-Discuss] Possible CS-W Portal Opportunity
My name is Paul Breimyer and I work for MIT Lincoln Laboratory, a government research lab (FFRDC). We are building what is effectively a secure CS-W portal interface for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). I'm writing to see if OSGeo might be interested in the portal if it were open sourced appropriately. As part of this work we reviewed GeoNetwork: the backend services were well implemented, but we found the portal to be lacking capabilities that were necessary (at least for our use cases). There may be an opportunity to enhance the GeoNetwork portal to facilitate broader adoption of the CS-W standard. Please let me know if there's interest to learn more.

Paul, pls keep us current on LL's activities on this. My interest is in possible uses by local gov't public safety agencies. (FYI, I've worked with some LL people back in the late 50's during the Whirlwind/SAGE days.)

Hi Paul, As geoNetwork developer, I assure you we are pretty interested in any enhancement we can merge in geoNetwork. Do you think it may be possible to tell us more about this? Right now we have identified some things to solve (mostly spatially operations related), but an external point of view is always welcome. There is a developers mailing list for geoNetwork: geonetwork-de...@lists.sourceforge.net, if you think you are going to be too technical for a more general mailing list like this one.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Possible CS-W Portal Opportunity
Paul, I would be very interested in whatever enhancements that you are working on for Geonetwork. I'm on the metadata subcommittee, http://www.ncgicc.com/Default.aspx?tabid=901, for the North Carolina Geographic Information Coordinating Council and we are looking for methods/software to make metadata easier to create and maintain for Local and State government entities in North Carolina .We looked at Geonetwork and had similar concerns ( specifically in the area of ISO 19115-1 support). Please let me know what you can share about this work.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Java GIS developers: a new open source project to speed-up map rendering
Hi, I wanted to point out some new work being developed in open source to speed up Java map drawing, the Marlin renderer: https://github.com/bourgesl/marlin-renderer The renderer is an improved version of the Pisces renderer found in the OpenJDK builds, which provides significant speed up over Pisces, and significant scalability benefits over Ductus, the closed source rasterizer included in the Oracle JDK binary builds. I believe this to be of interest of anyone running/developing Java GIS applications against OpenJDK, and of anyone doing multi-threaded map rendering against any JDK (examples coming to mind, DeeGree and uDig). So, I invite you to give it a spin and report back, we also have a mailing list to share experiences and coordinate development here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/marlin-renderer Here are some benchmark results for the specific case of GeoServer to wet your appetite: http://geo-solutions.blogspot.it/2014/02/geoserver-improved-scalability.html Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Possible CS-W Portal Opportunity
Hi Paul, On OSGeo-Live, we also package pycsw, which might also be worth evaluating: http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/pycsw_overview.html I'd suggest that extending an existing project is usually better long term than starting a new project and splitting sponsors/developers between two projects.
