Hi Folks,
I'm setting off to rebuild suburbia - check out ThisOldNeighborhood.Net
- subscribe to follow along, get on the bus.
And if anybody from Open Plans is listening, we'd love to talk about
including some community planning tools in the mix!
Miles Fidelman, ThisOldNeighborhood.net
forward to you reactions - and, hopefully, to some of you getting
involved.
Best,
Miles Fidelman, Chief Engineer, Civic.Net
--- this just went out to a select group of email lists --- also check
out "civic.net" ---
My Fellow Internet Engineers,
In 1963, JCR Licklider wrot
lent to the MDMP, Air Operations
planning processes, or similar doctrine. I'd love to get a look at some
of them. And talk to folks who've actually used/developed some of them.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Miles Fidelman

Ok. But, and this may be a dumb question, it's a very fancy, expensive
looking camera - one presumes that the person taking the pictures has
the software that goes with it. Can one not ask the person providing
the imagery to convert the raw files to a more usable format?
Miles Fidelman
roprietary
internal format, as long as they provide software to convert it to
standard formats. Particularly if it's a camera with some special
sensor characteristics.
The real question is whether they provide their software with the
camera, or whether you have to pay beaucoup bucks for it.
