[OSGeo-Discuss] PerfectTIN 0.4.1 released

[Pierre Abbat]

I just released 0.4.1, which has the bug fixed. You can download it from 
https://github.com/phma/perfecttin/. The new feature is PLY export, which 
requires the Plytapus library https://github.com/phma/plytapus/. You can 
compile previous versions of PerfectTIN with Plytapus and they will read PLY 
point clouds, but this is the first version that can write a TIN in PLY format.

I'm planning to make the next version color the TIN (if you read it into Cloud 
Compare, you get a greenish blob). My first idea is to use one color for 
triangles whose dots are all in tolerance, another color for triangles with 
dots out of tolerance, and another color for empty triangles where a car or 
house was cut out of the point cloud. But I could also color by gradient (what 
PerfectTIN does while running) or by elevation. What do you think?

I'd also like to write a website for PerfectTIN. Should I put it as a 
subdirectory of Bezitopo (http://bezitopo.org/perfecttin), a subdomain 
(perfecttin.bezitopo.org), or a separate domain?

[OSGeo-Discuss] What's a good location for announcing there is a Video available of our chapter meeting?

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

All,

Got a couple of these in the bank now, and I see us doing this into the future 
on a monthly basis.   Currently linking to the them from our Local Chapter page:

https://www.osgeo.org/local-chapters/twin-cities-mn-usa-chapter/

We’re running these once a month, and  currently announce over a few of the 
OSGeo lists,  but it’s been suggested to cast a wider audience and the idea cam 
up of sending in a news item to OSGeo.  Is this something worthy of a news 
item?  Or is there another preferred way of announcing the availability of the 
Meeting/recording?

Thanks

Bobb

Dear all,


The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development 
(ICIMOD) has been organizing the "Empowering women in 
geospatial information technology" training under its SERVIR Hindu Kush 
Himalaya (SERVIR-HKH) Initiative for the past two 
years. The training course, extended exclusively to young women from Nepal, 
provides them with theoretical as well as practical knowledge in the use of EO 
data and GIT using real-world examples from the HKH region. In its third 
iteration and in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this intensive 
four-day course is being offered online to eligible women in Nepal. The 
training covers a wide range of topics, including principles of geographic 
information science (GIS), basic concepts of remote sensing (RS), image 
calculation and spectral indices, and mapping using open source tools to solve 
emerging environmental problems. Details at 
https://servir.icimod.org/events/empowering-women-in-geospatial-information-technology


It is great to see that ICIMOD are using Free and Open GIS in their training 
programs. Details on their recent training event for Virtually empowering women 
in Nepal with geospatial skills during the COVID-19 lockdown at  
https://servir.icimod.org/news/virtually-empowering-women-in-nepal-with-geospatial-skills-during-the-COVID-19-lockdown


GeoForAll community would like to send our congratulations to ICIMOD for 
organising this important initiative . This is an excellent example of  
Bridging the Geospatial Digital Divide and providing geo digital economy 
opportunities for all [1],[2],[3],[4].


On behalf of GeoForAll, I would also like to thank Women in GIS, Kenya [5] for 
their contributions to GeoForAll. Details at 
https://www.osgeo.org/geo-for-all-labs/women-in-gis-kenya/


Please keep sharing GeoForAll ideas and educational resources so that more 
faculty and students have access to the resources

GeoForAll community are grateful to everyone working to make geoeducation and 
digital economy opportunities available for everyone.
