[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Labs invitation
Hi, I would like to invite every FOSS4G presenters to register their projects in the OSGeo Labs page. OSGeo Labs aims to gather together all geospatial related FOSS projects and give visibility to all FOSS projects out there. You do not have to aim for OSGeo incubation to register. Just being a Free and Open Source Software and Geo related is enough to be added to the OSGeo Labs page.

Re: Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mind Map - Open Source Spatial Projects
A thought here . . . . How would you see something like this working from a Project meta-data perspective. I'm wondering about the possibilty of each OSGEO project handling their own branch of the MindMap diagram. Is there a way to link branches together? Another piece that is nagging at me somewhat is how to handle things that might need to be cross indexed (if possible), GeoMoose might (will??) have items that related to more than one other project, it's now utilizing the OpenLayers display LIBs for example. And I know of a couple of other projects that may end up as connectors. Just wondering (or muttereing) out loud. . . . bobb Bruce Bannerman bruce.bannerman.os...@gmail.com wrote: It would be great if you could add in the MapWindow project.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Labs invitation
Hi Julien, Are you talking just to FOSS4G presenters or everyone? The list on the OSGeo Labs page isn't that big, so I get the impression that it's not meant to become a huge list. By way of example (and to toot my own horn), I've been working on a cadastral data entry application (see http://code.google.com/p/backsight), and would dearly like to find other people who have an interest in working with me. Or just chat to people who are working in the same application domain. But given that not a lot of people get excited by cadastral systems (and OSGeo seems to emphasise web-related projects), I wonder whether sticking myself on the list would be appropriate.

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Labs invitation
Stephen, I'm a land surveyor and a desktop application programmer. So the interests at OSGeo may be more varied that you suspect. Tell me more about your application. What exactly is its current functionality? I wish I had time to contribute to another project. Your program sounds like it is right up my alley, and I've been looking for a reason to learn some Dot Net Development. :] Landon Office Phone Number: (209) 946-0268 Cell Phone Number: (209) 992-0658 -Original Message- From: discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:discuss-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of STEPHEN STANTON Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 2:47 PM To: OSGeo Discussions Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Labs invitation Hi Julien, Are you talking just to FOSS4G presenters or everyone?

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Finding an OSGEO-related job in London
Matthew, It doesn't look like anyone responded to your post, so I will offer some brief comments. I don't think it likely that you will find a job focused specifically on open source GIS. I am one of the moderator of the OSGeo Jobs mailing list, and job postings there are quite rare in our current economy. I think you may have to settle for a job in GIS, with perhaps an opportunity to occasionally dabble in open source GIS software. I can think of only a handful of companies that work extensively with open source GIS software, especially on the desktop. Examples are Refractions Research, Vivid Solutions, and LISASoft. The first two are Canadian companies, the second is in Australia. A better option may be to take a regular GIS job but to hone your programming skill set by volunteering with one of the OSGeo projects. (Let me know if you are really bored. I could put you to work on a couple of things right now.) :] Or you could possibly work part-time as a consultant trying to help organizations get started with open source GIS. At any rate, post a link to your resume on the OSGeo Jobs mailing list. That can't hurt.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Finding an OSGEO-related job in London
And of course OA Digital, but while in the UK is not London. London is under the influence of the if it don't cost, it ain't worth nothing although we're hopeful revent gov't policy announcements and news like that of the recent systems change at the London Stock Exchange might change that; if there's going to be anything, I'd sniff around the London mayor's office, Transport for London and some of the London councils.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Finding an OSGEO-related job in London
To add to Chris' comments... I suggest any job seeker offer to host an OSGeo-UK meetup... bring the employers to you instead :) Seriously though - there may be an opportunity here for those who have some momentum for a local OSGeo chapter nearby. Get on the mailing list, ask for ideas for a venue to meet and plan a meeting using the wiki or mailing list - a couple folks will often volunteer to do a talk or provide a discussion point. I believe that many local chapter OSGeo'ers are just waiting for a chance to chat over a beer or talk and plan in a local boardroom. The upside to helping plan it is you can give yourself a speaking slot to introduce what you've been doing/playing with/learning and a URL to your CV at the end will drive the point home :) Best wishes!
