[OSGeo-Discuss] Resource viewer for grama panchayat
Hai, Let me introduce my work to the list:- http://cheruvannur.web4all.in/resources/ Hope, I can hear valuable suggestions. It is hosted on a Debian GNU/Linux Etch server. It was my main project during my M.Sc. course in last semester, and I decided to do this because I wanted to do something useful for the panchayat - my first employer :) (Panchayats are the rural local authorities in India, just like Municipalities - the urban thing.) My course is just finished. I developed this thing, on a Debian GNU/Linux Etch system using GRASS GIS, PostgreSQL with PostGIS, Quantum GIS, UMN MapServer, ka-Map etc. Coded in MapScript and php. All are Free/Open Source things. I want to expand this to the entire district with some added query modules, such as shortest route to a place, maximum coverage for some areas, flood risk analysis etc, to make it a complete plan-development support system. -- ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/ ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ (`'·.¸(`'·.¸ ¸.·'´)¸.·'´) «´¨`·*Jaisen.*..´¨`» (¸.·'´(¸.·'´ `'·.¸)`'·.¸) ¸.·´ ( `·.¸ `·.¸ ) ¸.·)´ (.·´ ( `v´ ) `v´ ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[OSGeo-Discuss] Consumer Centric Tools and Interfaces
An issue that has come up frequently is the lack of simplified interfaces for consumer and common public access to imaging sources for common uses. An obvious use is the correlation and processing of all available imaging sources including surface density / landsat and reflectivity for modeling small farms or watersheds. What tools exist that have an over-simplified interface (or script) that can export common data types, especially 3d, and pull appropriate data from all possible sources transparently? Also, semi-urban environments (esp. suburb residential) have a popular need to explore their area as well as common road/infrastructure maintenance awareness. Obviously, keyhole and worldwind are horridly deficient, NGiA is absolutely useless, and ESA/etc have gotten worse than better. What suggestions can be made for common home users, what tools are available, and what methods are most easily understood? We have discussed large terrascaped structures which are removed from nasa data as man made such as the distinct landsat echo around 7.2N -71.1W as an introduction to sensor data processing, but there are few comprehensive tutorials for common education. Please let me know directly of specific tools or systems or info [EMAIL PROTECTED] if this would not be relevant to common use tools such as OSGEO/etc. What tools are available?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Resource viewer for grama panchayat
Hi, good work at GRASS routes. India is just waiting for this kind of projects where GIS can help the billions. Please send me a personal mail with details, possibly with some scxreen shots. For OSGeo India we have done work for Rajahmundry MP constituency. On behalf of OSGeo India we have a 3 day event at Pune and will be great to site your example.

I've done it for MOSS4G and #moss4g channel (I understood I have to register to get registered channel) but with no response. Yes, the group registration took some time and was very manual, but cornering one of the admins online really helped :) I don't see any benefit, personally, to having a registered group managing all the OSGeo project channels as well. Since #osgeo is really the main one tied to an organisation. The main benefit is that no one can officially take over control of your channel for some reason, but if you've registered the channel already, then you already have full control. Tyler, I also that main benfit of registration is to prevent hijacking of IRC channel. If you ever end up being concerned and don't want to risk anything, then rename your channel to include the #osgeo- prefix, e.g. #osgeo-moss4g. A few local chapter groups are already doing this e.g. #osgeo-fr #osgeo-es. Does it mean if I create #osgeo- prefixed channel it's automagically added to the list of registered OSGeo channels?
