I don't think Open Source GIS needs to be Open Source GIS Plus Desktop Publishing. Also, we get to highlight integration between open source projects that is facilitated by Open Standards, and those standards are going beyond spatial standards (such as using SVG to go between Qgis and Inkscape).

[OSGeo-Discuss] [OFF-TOPIC] GIS StackOverflow Website
Hello everyone, First I would like to apologize for cross posting in different/related lists. This is more of a invitation: StackOverflow.com is a website of questions and answers that is very lightweight, dynamic, and involves a great number of members in it's community. The stackOverflow website is specific about programming QA. The makers of SO, built a website classe stackexchange ( area51.stackexchange.com) that allows users to propose new QA websites, about a certain topic. The proposal of this website is a to create a common place to ask for general questions about geoprocessing, GIS, GISc, and related topics. There is no restrictions about the technology or it's licensing methods. It's a true open forum for developers, geographers and anyone who actively uses GIS frequently. I proposed one about GIS and is in it's final stage before Beta. In that website you can view the example questions of On and Off topic questions, vote in the better ones and allows you to commit to that website. Only users that follow and commit to the website are allowed to participate in the Beta version (the beta version lasts for 10 days only - I'm not sure). Right now, we have 98% commit. Only 2% away from getting a QA website like StackOverflow (and others, that already passed beta period: gaming.stackexchange.com , cooking.stackexchange.com , etc); Here is the website address: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1425/geographic-information-systems If you feel like it, commit to the website and let's start building a great community for diffusion of GIS knowledge.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mind Map - Open Source Spatial Projects
Amazing. Congratulations! Can i suggest a project that has been around for some years? Check Terralib and TerraView. It's a brazilian project and it's quite mature. http://www.terralib.org/ Regards, George On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 1:50 AM, Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo) tmitch...@osgeo.org wrote: I've had one too - it's quite incomplete (re: people involved now) but general structure reflect OSGeo in particular - I think Bruce's is much broader.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo friendly countries to live in

So what can we learn? * Japan and Mongolia are the place be in Asia * Chilli is the place to be in Latin America * Canada looks preferable to the US.

OpenJUMPs Nightly Build has also an Auto-Complete Polygon tool, now. From a personal stand point I think OpenJUMPs editing capabilities for Vector data are very good and straight forward. What we don't - in comparison to ESRI ArcGIS is something like the tracing function. Stefan RAVI KUMAR wrote: Hi Cameron, the table of comparison is informative. Most of the ARC-GIS users (my personal view) are Vector GIS users. They are concerned of 1. Registration of Paper maps into GIS 2. Attribution 3. Analysis depending on their need. CAD 4. Outputs of the above are also to be plotted in elegant maps with proper symbology and standard colors. As an OSGeo enthusiast I recommend a cocktail of OS GIS software mix. OpenJUMP and Qgis for steps Qgis 1 to 3 Qgis and GRASS for advanced analysis GRASS for statistical analysis with R OpenJUMP and Inkscape for step 4. As a geologist I get oriented structures properly symbolised and rotated (possible in OpenJUMP) Am making some notes and soon wish to offer for downloading through GRASS and OpenJUMP websites.

What is it about ArcView and ArcGIS that people really like, listed feature by feature in a table. Then identify whether Open Source covers it and how. Very important is to address usability. How quickly can an Arc* user migrate to Open Source? My skill set is lacking here as I don't have much experience in either ESRI or the Open Source desktop tools. It seems like you have experience with both which puts you in a unique position. Is this something you, or one of your students would like to investigate further? Maybe build a table similar to this one: http://www.spatialserver.net/osgis/Desktopgis_overview.htm RAVI KUMAR wrote: Hi, this is the kind of question I face when in my lectures evangelising OS GIS. ArcGIS has many tools, though some prefer to call it a deluge of tools, which almost distance the user from understanding the concept of GIS. Auto Complete Polygon: In Qgis which is a very userfriendly OS GIS you have 'Cut polygon', do try and find the difference. Polygonising from lines: Open JUMP has one of the most userfriendly approaches. Create lines and polygonise in OpenJUMP and the software automatically creates a folder for Dangles (un-wanted line pieces) The query is more for Vector GIS, I suppose. GRASS GIS: It has so many features for Image analysis and Raster GIS, the commercial GIS need a barge pole to even touch it. The vector Part of GRASS is robust too.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OS and Proprietary
The percentage of features used by users are minimal indeed. Most of users (here in Brazil too) use just a little bit of what its availuable. This tells us two things: software like arcview 9.2 (view license) are being more common. Only 'hardcore' techs use and explore the full arcgis info solution. Two: desktop GIS are becoming more and more rare. The trend is to have a server configuration, permissions, and a wide variety of people editing your data. So, FOOS4G is useful and a valid solution. As another post in postgis list, there are some problems with OS, but they are being solved, so i might choose OS for my next consultings. Arcs have great funcionality, but the price, support, etc, just makes me angry :P Att George On 4/28/08, Miguel Montesinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Everytime I listen this discussion about proprietary vs. open-source software, a lot of feelings, impressions and opinions come up. Talking about subjective things it's funny, but it doesn't help newcomers, nor it's professional. In the meanwhile the dark-side ;) keeps on spreading the same rumours. Only through a serious comparison anybody can get the picture. Does anybody have or know a base feature table, so that we could fill in with proprietary and OS fulfillment? [1] IMHO is quite generic, and does not include non-OS features. Non-ArcXXX should also be considered (I've also worked with non-ESRI products, and they offer really good features). Anybody open to work in this direction? This way, anybody will be able to compare with real and common informationn and I'm sure that One additional point. When migrating desktop GIS from proprietary to OS software, it's usual to hace different levels of users. A big number of users (80% according to some gvSIG studies) use a small percentage of available functionalities. So it is recommended that a gradual migration could be done.
