Hello OSGEO enthusiasts
I would like to create, starting from the point where hard disk space
is not a problem, a repository of raster maps that can be accessible
offline, when for exemple, we have to go to the field and do
georeference tagging and mapping.
When in the field, there is no
For the record, I agree with the comments made by Arnulf and a few
others that encouraging projects to produce this material and keep it up
to date is a good thing, but making that an incubation criteria may be
pushing it a bit much.
I also believe that a Live DVD is a nice thing to have and a

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
Hi,
Is there more to this than loading the data and the data server technology onto
a machine you take into the field and configuring the clients on that machine
to use the local data and server technology?
Do you take a network with you? You could for example network and rely on one

Hello Ian and Kishor,
It's strange you refer to google's TOS, which kinda reminds me of
microsofts agreements on the stickers of original software, you have
to buy but is never yours.
To run around with the data in your cache isn't illegal? Anyways, I

Nothing strange about it. It has

OpenLayers accommodates that restriction by wrapping OL around that API

Don't forget that i'm looking at this from the educational point of view.

are the landsat 7 swaths that are also freely available but are very

My sense is that there are quite a lot of Landsat 7 data available for free
download. Scenes, though, not swaths.
Thanks a million Marc!
Glovis is a treasure box ... i'm gonna role up them sleeves to put the
images in my geoserver box.
I'll post the result here!
Thanks

Hi,
because I was asked about how OSGeo should promote its projects as a follow-up
to my self-introduction as a charter member nominee, let me also add my 2¢ here.
I think the important question is: what kind of marketing is required? OSGeo
does not sell anything, but the organizations

The other side of promotion is helping to attract new developers.
We often focus on marketing the use of open source software; but we
also should promote involvement and contributing to keep projects
healthy.
