[OSGeo-Discuss] The Indian indenture system during British Colonial rule of India - information needed on interactive maps that can be used for history education

[Suchith Anand via Discuss]

Dear colleagues,


I am trying to learn more about the Indian indenture system during British 
Colonial rule of India  and will appreciate advice.


Wikipedia article on this says


The Indian indenture system was a system of indentured 
servitude, by which more 
than 1.6 million workers from 
India were transported to 
labour in European colonies, 
as a substitute for slave 
labor, following the 
abolition of the trade in the early 
19th century. The system expanded after the abolition of slavery in the British 
Empire in 
1833,[in the French 
colonies in 1848, and in 
the Dutch Empire in 1863. British 
Indian indentureship lasted till the 1920s.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_indenture_system


Some of the references and links provided to UK National Archives is not 
working so I cannot find more historical information.




Indian Indentured Labor and the History of International Rights Regimes The 
American Historical Review, Volume 119, Issue 5, December 2014, Pages 
1439–1465, https://doi.org/10.1093/ahr/119.5.1439




“THE INDIAN INDENTURE SYSTEM WAS PUT into place by the British imperial 
government at the behest of sugar planters.6 The intention was to provide 
planters with a regular, assured, and cheap labor force similar to what they 
had had under slavery, thereby alleviating their need to rely upon, or pay 
market price for, the labor of their former slaves. During its more than eighty 
years of operation, the system was responsible for transporting some 1.2 
million laborers from India to new and old colonies around the world—including 
Mauritius, Réunion, Natal, East Africa, British Guiana, Trinidad, Suriname, 
Jamaica, and Fiji—primarily to labor on sugar plantations, but eventually also 
for other agricultural and industrial enterprises.7 Wherever the system was 
instituted, it became integral to a racial segmentation of the labor force and 
to racialized models of labor organization. Because of its direct connection to 
slavery abolition, from the moment of its inception the system generated 
significant anguish and outcry from British anti-slavery forces. By the early 
twentieth century, it became a major target of elite Indian nationalist 
criticism as well. As a result, it was finally abolished in 1917 in the context 
of the economic and political exigencies of the First World War.”

Are there any research publications , interactive maps, map stories etc that 
can be used for education on this topic. If so, please share. Thanks.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] repo.osgeo.org contains empty files

[Jody Garnett via Discuss]

 Question:

Are you building against repo osgeo "release" directly in your maven build?
If so you should indeed be fixed 

Or have you setup a mirror or nexus repository of your own that caches repo
osgeo "releases"?
In this case you may need to clear your cache (to get rid of any zero sized
jars).

I am curious how many folks are running downstream caches or mirrors and
may be affected ...

[Brogli, Alexander via Discuss]

Hello

Thanks for creating the ticket. I haven't created one, since I don't have a 
osgeo ID and am still waiting for a reply to my mantra request. I've checked, 
it seems we can regularly pull from repo.osgeo.org again, so I can confirm the 
problem seems to be resolved for us, thanks a lot!

I have gone ahead and created a ticket there: 
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2978

I did not see you report the ticket yet, and it is capturing feedback on 
multiple channels.

I have found the problem with geonetwork-cache being setup to cache files 
stored in a GitHub repository by geonetwork 2.x series.
GitHub must of turned off access in this manner yesterday, resulting in a lot 
of time-outs and zero sized files being saved.

The geonetwork-cache has been removed from release configuration; and I hope 
normal service has been restored? Please CONFIRM 

Notes:

  *   There is a risk that other repositories have saved these zero sized files 
and will need to clear their cache of OSGeo, and lazily rebuild it again.
  *   Normal maven builds do not have any way to select what jar to retrieve 
from different repositories. Indeed they attempt to contact each repository in 
turn, checking for every jar.
So it is expect that repo.osgeo.org releases would 
field requests for all manner of content as we have seen. This is one case 
where gradle offers better control ...
  *   I will reach out to the core-geonetwork project and determine how their 
build can be restored also.

[OSGeo-Discuss] The Corporatization of Just About Everything--Including the Climate Crisis and Outer Space

[Suchith Anand via Discuss]

Dear colleagues,


I came across this article on "The Corporatization of Just About 
Everything--Including the Climate Crisis and Outer Space.


The corporatization of space



"NASA made it clear that when that clock does toll, the U.S. will be 
getting out of the space station game, likely for good. Instead, the space 
agency signed a $415.6 million seed money deal with three companies--Blue 
Origin, Nanoracks, and Northrop Grumman--to develop their own private space 
stations, on which NASA and other customers could lease space for professional 
crews and tourists. The article goes on to point out that, in a press 
statement, a NASA spokesperson boasted that" NASA is once again leading the 
way to commercialize space activities" and that "we are partnering with U.S. 
companies to develop the space destinations where people can visit, live, and 
work."

I am interested to learn more on the corporatization of space, Earth 
Observation. Are there any recent research publications on this topic. Thanks.

[Frank Gasdorf via Discuss]

Hi folks,

I recently stumble about this problem to and my investigation is as follows:

* you a company uses a repository manager and has osger repo as a proxy
repo configured AND
* and internal artefact has been request but is not avaliable in internal
repositories, that a http get is set to osgeo repo as well
* this leads to enties like that with size 0 for each artefact


IMHO it seems to be an issue in nexus configuration and I investigate how
to configure filter for proxe repositories in Nexus.

We may be able to check if they were uploaded or fetched from a cache of an

Hi all

We're thankful consumers of osgeo's maven repository, though this morning we 
noticed that empty files are pulled. Inspecting certain cases, we saw that 
since this morning files with size 0 seem to be in the repo, e.g. the files 
here 
https://repo.osgeo.org/service/rest/repository/browse/release/org/jboss/jboss-parent/36/.

Do you know if there's a better place / mailing list to post this inquiry, or
