[OSGeo-Discuss] QGIS user meeting (10 and 11 of december 2015) at Montpellier (France)

[Yves Jacolin]

The Francophone local chapter of OSGeo (OSGeo-fr) and Montpellier SupAgro are 
organizing a two-day meeting around QGIS for the Francophone community. This 
meeting will take place on 10th and 11th December at Montpellier SupAgro.

Several presentations will take place on the first day. This year, the theme of 
this day is "QGIS: What are the uses case today What are the uses case 
tomorrow?". In the evening we invite you to join us for a drink in a place 
that will be given during the day.

The second day is organized as a barcamp: an informal workshops where you can 
suggest topics, present papers, exchange, discuss. It is an informal but 
organized time to exchange between users, contributors and financiers. Feel 
free to discover an original form of contributions to QGIS!

Some topics:

* How to translate QGIS
* How to use QGIS on a tablet (QField)
* How to create a map with QGIS and broadcast on the net
* QGIS and PostGIS couple

If you want to get some feedback from the community, get some help to prepare 
or discuss a particular topic before the day you can discuss it on the 
Francophone list (https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/admin/francophone).

>> The detailed program, registration form and other information are available 
on the official page http://www.agrotic.org/blog/seminaire-qgis-2015/ <<

We would like to thank to all of our "mécènes" level sponsors :

* 3Liz company
* Camptocamp company
* Conservatoires of Natural Space Network (Réseau des Conservatoires d'espaces 
naturels)

**About Montpellier SupAgro and AgroTIC training**

Montpellier SupAgro is a teaching and research institution that trains 
agronomists. The AgroTIC training is a training carried by Montpellier 
SupAgro. Every year we train fifteen agronomists with dual expertise in 
geomatics. QGIS is a central tool in our training on the one hand to the 
functionality of spatial information management it offers and also because it 
is open and free and can be reused by our future graduates whatever their 
professional context. For 3 years, we organize an event around QGIS discussion 
in which our students can meet professionals who use this software. This event 
also allows them to value the teachings they have followed since they also 
present new features of QGIS before the professionals.

 cheap hosting (250 responses for $22, no other fees, no monthly
 anything, basically we pay by use)
 https://www.limeservice.com/en/pricing  I think we should strongly
 consider using their hosting instead (and avoid configuring mysql/php on

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mailmain password reminders

[Yves Jacolin (Free)]

Hello,

Done for the Francophone and board-fr mailing lists.

It is quiet easy to do it, may be a call for each mailing list manager could 
be sent?

Regards,

Y.

 I did start to go through each list one by one manually a few months
 ago to change that setting...but I may have given up at some point.
 Hopefully some mailman-guru can step up to let us know the magical
 setting for all lists.  Or could it be some sort of job/script that
 runs each time a new list is created?  Not sure.

  OSGeo currently operates 200 public plus a few dozen private lists

  Please feel free to ping me if you are on a list that still reminds
  you and want it turned off by an admin.
  
  If you are a list operator yourself please check the setting Send
  monthly password reminders? and set it to off - except at least
  51% of your subscribers cry out in pain and want it back on. :-)
  
  Have fun, Arnulf

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Anymore Contributions for the OSGeo Journal Volume 12?

Landon,

Thanks for managing this and sorry for the delay. The OSGeo-fr report 2012 is 
now in the wiki. I hope it will be easy for you to get it in the OSGeo journal 
(if not too late ?).

Some french proof reader could change it a little bit this week.

[OSGeo-Discuss] SPAM on OSGeo website

[Yves Jacolin (free)]

Hello,

Following the francophone QGIS days this week I am adding presentation files in 
the OSgeo library.

I find this item which looks like spam [1] (links to external website). I 
unpublished it but can we also block the user (smebs). 

If you think this is not spam (but seems quiet obvious to me), we can publish 
it again.

Thanks,

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Creating *.shp.xml files with open source tools

Hello,

Note that you can use SpatialDataIntegrator to import data to GeoNetwork Node 
or create Metadata XML  file.

see http://www.talendforge.org/wiki/doku.php?id=sdi:mainpage#tutorials for

This could not be the best solution for your user case though but seems

  I created an experimental plugin for QGIS to deal with
  Metadata xml records. We never got the creation part
  finished, but there should be template xml files for FGDC,
  ISO and some other standards (USGS and all US agencies follow
  FGDC, and now the FGDC variant of a new ISO format).
  Though FGDC only finished their variant of the ISO last year
  so it has not been included yet.
  
  There are a few other tools out their: CatMDEdit
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimed/ was also announced a
  few months back with support for INSPIRE Geonetwork can also
  be used to edit the same info, I just can't remember if it
  makes an xml you can download to pack with your file.
  
  I think there's at least one other QGIS component in the
  works but I don't know the ETA on it.

yes!

 Local Chaps,
 this is a great opportunity to have a news item and maybe some thoughts
 of your own role in your local chapter lists and web sites too.
I have some idea but it still too soon yet.
* share issue and orgnisation schema (I am pretty sure that there are different 
choice for the organisation of a LC)
* share xp on a wiki page (Tyler draft) about how create a LC and organize it

 Best regards,

 PS:
 Sorry for almost forgetting this but I would forget my own birthday if
 folks wouldn't remind me to have a party each year. So we should make
 this a recurring event.

 I'm wondering if there is such a thing as Chipin

 MapServer to cascade GetFeatureInfo requests and I know that would take
 3-5 days to implement correctly, it would be nice if I could go to a
 project mailing list (e.g. MapServer's) and say here : we need 4000
 bucks to implement feature X and we're putting in 500; please

 much of a fee they ask for.  Any FOSS chipin ?

  Paul,
  thanks again for organizing the board elections. It is great that we
  could get this done in time prior to FOSS4G so that the new board can
  meet there in real life. This promises to become a very productive
  meeting.
 
  Howard, Ari,
  thanks to both of you for serving on the board for two full years and we
  hope to continue to see you give advice to the OSGeo board in your
  specific domains. We will lack the European and education background of
  Ari and miss Howard's direct engagement from our systems committee.
 
  Tim and Daniel,
  welcome to the board and be prepared for lots of activities in the
  coming months. We need to look into funding and acquire new and more
  sponsors. The local chapters of OSGeo are developing great but many
  would like to see a closer relation to the OSGeo Foundation. The public
  geodata committee is developing interesting ideas around cataloging that
  could turn into a new OSGeo service and last but not least we will want
  to improve the incubation process to better serve the projects and the
  users.
 
 
  All,
  thanks all for trusting me with another term on the board of directors
  and I am excited to get going with the new team. See (hopefully most of
  you) in Barcelona.
 
  Best regards,
  Arnulf.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 5 Star OSGeo project maturity rating

[Yves Jacolin]

Boob,

You mean something like this : http://www.ohloh.net/p?q=osgeo ?

Regards,

Y.
Le lundi 07 juin 2010 17:02:44, Bob Basques a écrit :
 All,

 Instead of a 5 star rating, what about  using a small standardized chart of
 some sort.  5-10 items each with their own rating (or classification).  One
 of these items could be tied to the incubation process for example.

 Some Items off the top of my head that would be useful (grabbing some from
 the conversation too):

 *  Incubation status
 *  Age of project
 *  Number of commiters
 *  Language(s)  (Perl, Javascript, Java, etc)
 *  OS Supported (Window, Linux, Mac, etc)
 *  Mobile Version (Yes/No)
 * etc. . . .

 Also upon thinking on this some more, this smaller standardized form could
 be expanded into a Specification sheet for each project.  Additionally the
 standardized form could be mixed and matched based on the project focus, so
 that the Project leader could decide which items go into the standardized
 (smaller, Short Version of a) chart for Marketing.

 Just thinking out loud here.

 bobb

  Daniel Morissette dmorisse...@mapgears.com 06/06/10 7:21 PM 

 I'm also not too keen on a star ranking system, especially if it is
 mostly based on having passed incubation or not.

 To me, passing incubation is more an indication of good process
 management and long term viability than an indication of software
 quality/robustness and ability to really solve the user's needs.
 However, a star ranking system makes me think of hotel/restaurant rating
 and would mislead the user to think that a software with 4 stars
 (because it passed incubation) does a better job than others with 2 or 3
 which is not necessarily the case.

 If the goal is to denote whether a project has passed incubation or not
 then let's call the rating that way (which is what we currently do when
 we differentiate between graduated and in-incubation projects on
 www.osgeo.org). If we want to create a project maturity rating then it
 will have to take into account several variables as Andrea wrote
 earlier... and then defining those variables and evaluating each piece
 of software against them will be quite a task.

 In the end, I just wanted to register the fact that I too am worried
 about the possible side-effects of a poorly handled rating system on our
 communities.

  Jason, this is a valid concern with decent founding. However I think the
  potential for conflict is not as bad as you may think, and there is a
  very strong user community desire for, and value to be gained from such
  ratings.
 
  1. We already have a rating system, based upon:
  * Project has completed incubation
  * Project is in incubation
  * Project is not in incubation
  What I'm suggesting is that we apply a star system to these stages.
 
  2. We already have a criteria for defining this rating, (which may be
  refined), which reduces the subjectiveness and hence the potential for
  conflict.

It depends the OS Licence. GDAL licence is BSD-Like  [1].

Some other are usinng GPL-LIKe licence. This kind of licence does not allow 
closed source to user open source licence. They need to open their source

 Hi,

 Thanks Christopher for your answer. A colleague excluded SLD by telling
 us it only applies to WMS, which, based on your comment, isn't true. The

  answers! :-) To my defense for this OSGeo-unrelated question, we do
  process and serve all the related geodata using OSGeo software! ;-)
 
  Which software?

 Since you're asking.. still the same project already mentioned on this
 list: providing Canadian weather information with web maps and standard
 web services. Our (fully working) prototypes use MapFish, OpenLayers
 GDAL/OGR­. (we also use other OSGeo software for other projects)

If you want styling a vector layer from a WFS service in OpenLayers, you can 
use StyleMap which is simplier to manage [1] I think ;)

  To get you started, you'll want to get an Exhibition Pack, these are the
  basic items to setup an exhibit.
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Exhibition_Pack
 
  You'll also want to make a wiki page for your event like:
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/CGS_2008
  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AAG_2009
  These pages will also give you an idea of what you can hand out and what
  to have at the booth.
 
  Next you'll want to print some materials, there's a whole bunch to
  choose from in the OSGeo svn.
  http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/
  You'll want to look in Marketing and maybe the Journal.
 
  At our latest event we ran a Live DVD for demo purposes but mostly
  handed out a general brochure and talked with people about what they do
  and what OSGeo software might be useful to them.
  In hindsite, we should of had a copy of the OSGeo Journal printed, and
  buttons would have been nice.
 
  Hope that's enough to get you started, you should probably have someone
  from your team join the marketing committee mailing list to talk about
  your event, ask questions and get some more ideas.

Hi,

The 4th volume of OSGeo Journal entirely translated into french is now 
available for downloading [1].

This volume contains annual reports of OSGeo projects, local chapters, and 
sponsors for 2007. Although lately released, this volume will be of great 
interest to those wishing to rapidly catch up on all the projects they care 
about. Indeed, reports of projects remain relevant to know what the 
objectives were for the year 2008. Volume 6 will contain a 2008 report 
status.

As always each section can be downloaded individually. You are encouraged to 
put a link to this page and distribute this announcement to all professionals 
interested in open source GIS. All feedback is welcome.

Thank you to all the authors, translators and proofreaders who helped make 
this new volume possible

Older volumes can be downloaded from their respective pages, they present case 
studies, tutorials and documentation about GIS concepts. All volumes, both in 
english and french, are available to download at the OSGeo Journal section 
[2].

[OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeo-fr - IGN meeting] CCLA issues

[Yves Jacolin (free)]

Hi,

This email focus on CCLA issues.

This issues was raised when IGN tried to send their code back to the 
OpenLayers project as they have to sign a CCLA [1].

A french public organism can't sign an agreement wrote in english,  the fact 
that CCLA was assigned to MetaCarta is also a problem.

We know that IGN signed an agreement with Autodesk to allow Autodesk to share 
some free data (free as a free beer). The agreement was in english, but it 
seems there is a french translation/localisation with a header which said 
that the english agreement have to be used as a reference (in a more legal 
style). 

Paying a localisation of a CCLA seems not a good way, the cost could be too 
important, hard and need to do it again for each change of the CCLA.

Do you think paying a localisation of the CCLA is a good way (if IGN pay for 
localisation for instance). 

Do they OSGeo could provide some CCLA template?

How other project are managing CCLA?

Any tips are welcome,

Best regards,

Y.

 Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding easy in-wiki multi-langauge
 support. At the moment, I'm simply putting 'fr:' in front of the page
 title to indicate it is a translation of an English page of the same
 name:

 http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/fr:GettingHelp/ForeignLanguageSupport

 I'm hopeful that I can find a Trac plugin which does this for me, as
 well as showing when pages that are in different langauges are 'out of
 date' with regard to each other. However, from what I've seen so ar, I'm
 not particularly hopeful on either of these points, so I may need to
 write a plugin myself.

 I'm assuming that the Wikipedia-style 'fr:OtherTitle' links are probably
 a preferred way of handling this situation (so that the Page *link* can
 also be in a different language) but I think that would likely be harder
 to handle initially, so I'm not sure I'm going to actually go to the
 extent of tackling that (depending, in part, on what feedback I get from
 the community) -- the URL itself is (I would hope) not the most
 important part of the page, and bad titles can hopefully be resolved
 with adequate linking.

 Anyway, feedback on the text of the English page (the french is just an
 earlier machine translation) is welcome.

 Regards,

This is an interesting question (How manage I18n content in website). I think 
there are three ways (at least):
* a two letters word put it in the URL, as we  did at the begining in the wiki 
osgeo [1], [2], [3] and like you did in your example ;
* a namespace (if the wiki/website manage this), as I did it in 
http://cartoweb-community.net allowing switching between langage in each page 
(not implemented in the CW3-community website).
* a I18n tag, as we are doing now in the wiki OSGeo [1]

The tag seems a good way to manage easily I18n contents. Not specialy the best 
one IMHO. The namespace is the best way for me. Using Mediawiki you can allow 
people to search only in one namespace, you are really independant but you 
share the same engine for all other langage (better for update). 
Unfortunately, namespace are not always managed by wiki engine and 
contributors need to take care when creating pages.

 Hi all,
 We have the opportunity to run a booth at FOSS4G again this year.
 Last year it was a great meeting point and led to lots of productive
 discussion.  If you are interested in helping oversee the booth, meet
 people, shake hands, smile for the camera, hand out brochures, etc.
 then please sign up here:

[OSGeo-Discuss] Local Chapter, network and structuration

[Yves Jacolin]

Hi,

**History**
OSGeo-fr has been formely created in september as the Francophone Local 
Chapter following 1 year discussing details for structuring ourselves. In 
june, Daniel Morissette, Thierry Badard and Nicolas Gignac proposed to people 
form Quebec to meet each other to think about how Quebec could act inside 
this Francophone Local Chapter. This meeting began the process for creating 
Quebec Local Chapter. I won't details more but one of the purposes of this 
Local Chapter could be to be a kind of local contact for Francophone LC.

The creation of the OSGeo-qc is mainly due to the spatial distance and the 
difference between qc and fr (most people acting in OSGeo-fr come from 
France) about the way FOSS are used. Each area having their own issue and 
progress. Daniel, Thierry or Nicolas will correct and clarify this facts.

Following the creation meeting of OSGeo-qc I spent some time to think about 
why this occurs and how change or more specificly how structure OSGeo-fr and 
OSGeo-qc, how do we work together, etc.

** Propositions**
I suggest to not use LC to join people with common langage. As there are some 
importante difference between countries: what they need to do, how they can 
do it, etc. Furthermore, following the well knonw sentence : Think global, 
act local, it is important that one people (or more) act localy, this is not 
easy within OSGeo-fr. The best way (IMHO) is to create one LC for each 
country and join this LC into network. So we will create Francophone Network 
(containing OSGo-fr, OSGeo-qc, etc.), Europeen Network (containing OSGeo-fr, 
OSGeo-it, OSGeo-de, OSGeo-uk, sp, etc.).

Each network allowing each LC to share informations and contact, think global 
and act local, even if act global could be possible, I think mainly for 
europeen network.

**Conclusion**
You will find here [1] the schema_osgeo.pdf file illustrating what could be 
the structure of OSGeo. I added some information on the right about url 
website. I suggest to use Name Space for each three group in order to better 
structure the wiki and allowing searching for only one (or more) of this 
groups.

What does the other LC think about this? Specially Spanih LC which is as the 
Francophone LC, mainly based on common langage.

Best regards,

Y.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Map of Wiki/OSGeo Members

[Yves Jacolin]

 Hi,

 During Cascadoss events, Markus and I, we discussed that it could be
 interesting to build a map of all OSGeo Members [1], events and other
 geographically referenced content of our Wiki.

 There is number of geo-plugins available for MediaWiki, so it's easy to
 get lost. I found Google Map Extension [2] for MediaWiki that looks
 interesting.

 I'd like to hear opinions about such map and recommendations of map
 extensions for MediaWiki, that we could use for that purpose.

 After I have necessary technical details collected for this new
 features, I'm going to ask Webcom if it's possible to get it implemented.

 Best regards,
Hi,

This is a great idea, as I have it in mind some times ago ;), but having no 
time to help to realise it, I didn't share it :/

Why don't we use an OSGeo project to realise this mapping Member? This could 
be interesting to show how we can use some OSGeo project :)
