Agreed. Also had the pleasure of working with Mauricio in the past and
would like to second his nomination too.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter Member Nomination: Andrea Aime

I second Andrea's nomination too. Having worked closely with him on
the GeoTools and GeoServer projects for the last seven years or so,
and truly believe neither project would be what they are without
Andrea's continued commitment.

[OSGeo-Discuss] GeoWebCache 1.3-RC3 Released

2012-05-08 Thread Gabriel Roldan
The GeoWebCache Community is glad to announce the availability of the
third Release Candidate of the 1.3 series.

GeoWebCache is a LGPL Java web application used to cache map tiles
coming from a variety of sources such as OGC Web Map Service (WMS). It
implements various service interfaces (such as WMS-C, WMTS, TMS,
Google Maps KML, Virtual Earth) in order to accelerate and optimize
map image delivery. It can also recombine tiles to work with regular
WMS clients, and comes integrated with GeoServer.

This is the third release candidate of the 1.3 series, and hopefully
the last one. So be prepared for the big 1.3.0 launch in the near
future.
If you haven't upgraded yet from GeoWebCache 1.2.x, we encourage you
to give 1.3-RC3 a try and report back any issue to the users mailing
list.

Links:
+

Download: 
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/geowebcache/files/geowebcache/1.3-RC3/>
Online documentation: <http://geowebcache.org/docs/current/>
Source code for this release:
<https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/tree/1.3-RC3>
Full list of resolved issues:
<https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/issues?milestone=11&page=1&state=closed>

Improvements:


- Added documentation on how to manage layers with the REST API.
- Added documentation on how to configure min/max cached zoom levels
and pass-through to the backend WMS for the rest of the published zoom
levels.
- Report back tile cache miss/hit, crs, gridset, and bounds as HTTP
response headers. E.g.:
 curl -v "http://localhost:8080/geowebcache/service/wms?LAYERS=.
 < HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 < geowebcache-cache-result: HIT
 < geowebcache-tile-index: [3, 5, 3]
 < geowebcache-tile-bounds: -112.5,22.5,-90.0,45.0
 < geowebcache-gridset: EPSG:4326
 < geowebcache-crs: EPSG:4326
 < Content-Type: image/gif
 < Content-Length: 29083
- Various improvements to REST API to query and kill running tasks:
 * Querying for the status of seed/truncate tasks returns an array
sized by the actual number of submitted tasks instead of the thread
pool capacity;
 * Querying to /rest/seed.json returns the array of task status for
all the layers, but querying to /rest/seed/.json returns only the
submitted tasks for that specific layer;
 * The returned array contains both running and pending tasks, with
two extra bits of information: the task id and the status (pending,
running, finished, or aborted);
 * POST'ing to /rest/seed/ with the kill_all form parameter only
kills tasks for that specific layer instead of for all layers;
 * POST'ing to /rest/seed with the kill_all form parameter kills
tasks for all layers;
 * It is possible to specify whether to kill only the running tasks
(previous behavior), pending tasks, or both running and pending.


Bug fixes:


- JDBC MetaStore can get NullPointerException inside H2 connection
pool under concurrency.
- geowebcache_empty.xml template file is schema invalid in case of uncommenting.
- Error computing zoom level when truncating, metastore disabled, and
gridset id not like .
- Incompatibility in returned GetCapabilities document with WMS 1.1.1 DTD.
- Unable to run GeoWebCache with OpenJDK 6.
- Can't use two GridSets for the same CRS on a single layer.
- GWC_METASTORE_DISABLED parameter sometimes ignored.
- Layers mis-configured after adding a layer through the REST interface.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Geoserver 2.1.2

Hi Carlos,

please drive your question to the geoserver users list [1], as it's
more probably that the geoserver raster experts catch it up in there.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Charter nominees -- please speak up!

2011-11-26 Thread Gabriel Roldan
Hi all,

please accept my apologies for this late reply, as I just came back
from my honeymoon and have been almost completely away from internet
for the past two weeks.

My name is Gabriel Roldán, and I am honored to be nominated as an
OsGeo Charter Member by the generous Spanish Chapter board members,
which I take the opportunity to thank.

I've started as an Open Source developer wannabe since my first year
of Computer Science career at Instituto Politecnico Superior -
Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina, thanks to the visionary
professors that promoted a three year programming career completely
based on GNU/Linux, back in 1995. So I shared this vision during the
two years I studied computer science while at the same time studied
Architecture, to then drop the architecture career as I found myself
really comfortable with programming and committed to the Open Source
and Free Software movement.
So during 1997 I started working on a GIS edit tool in C++, OpenGL and
GTK+, while working and learning GIS at the Remote Sensing and GIS
department. A couple years later moved to Buenos Aires where working
as a programmer found the opportunity to do some Web-GIS development,
but it wasn't until 2003 when I had the opportunity to actually become
an Open Source GIS developer while working at a local government
company in Spain, joining the GeoTools and GeoServer communities.
>From that time on I spent most of the time pushing for local
governments to move from proprietary to Open Source solutions, hence
getting even more deep into GeoTools and GeoServer development.

Joined OpenGeo late 2007 as a Software Developer and since then had
the chance to work on a wider set of Open Source projects, becoming a
GeoServer and GeoWebCache core developer, keeping a more or less
steady relationship with GeoTools development, and contributing to the
OpenGeo Suite and GeoNode projects, besides some minor contributions
to the gvSig and uDig projects.

This last year has been intense due to the participation in the OGC
OWS-8 test bed developing an implementation of the OGC
GeoSynchronization Service 1.0 spec backed by the new OpenGeo's GeoGit
project, which aims to become a distributed version control system for
geodata, written in Java and inspired on the GIT distributed version
control system concepts.

I also had the honor to be part of the Scientific Committee to various
editions of the excellent Girona Free GIS Conference and FOSS4G2010,
as well as to give talks or tutorials at Girona, 2009 Buenos Aires'
gvSig Users Conference, 2010 Brazilian Latinoware Conference, and
FOSS4G2011.

Finally, while I'm not very active on the OsGeo mailing lists, I more
or less closely follow 10 of them and have been on the Spanish Chapter
almost since its inception. If at all, the one thing I think I could
be of help with if elected, is helping the Fundation develop stronger
relationships with the Latin American FOSS4G development communities.

Thanks,
Gabriel.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Charter Member nomination - About me, Gabriel Roldan

2010-11-09 Thread Gabriel Roldan
Hi all,

thanks for the Charter Member nomination. I am certainly looking forward to get 
more involved in OSGeo related activities beyond strictly contributing source 
code to a bunch of FOSS4G projects.
Hence it would be a pleasure to me to get on board (though of course you would 
be nuts if voting for me instead of, for example, Maria Brovelli, who we all 
love :)

Yet I dare to take this possibility as a chance to influence the adoption of, 
and collaboration between OSGeo projects and the large number of Latin American 
organizations that would or already are eager to do so, and would benefit from 
a bit more of help in the process.

I'm currently based in Argentina and plan to stay here, and hence I think I 
could be of help around here, our loved and frequently forgotten Latin America.
I'm a regular contributor to GeoTools and GeoServer since 2003. Currently 
contribute also to the GeoNode and GeoWebCache projects, and had some contact 
with uDig and gvSig development in the past too. 

Thanks for reading this far :)
