[OSGeo-Discuss] Redlands SDS ?
All, a colleague from our local chapter has recently been at Redlands Institute and emailed me the following link: http://www.institute.redlands.edu/sds/welcome.html#consortium His observation was that much of the extant content uses proprietary software for exemplars and that some contribution from the OSGeo might be worth investigating.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mapnik in windows with gdal with ecw support
Hello Frank. Thank you for your quick response. I have gdal 1.6 running properly (I mean with ecw support) in my sistem. And I've tried the OSGeo4w version and the official windows version. With both, I have no problems managing ecw images, for example using gdalinfo with my ecw images. The problem seems to be with Mapnik and Mapnik's gdal plug in. It seems that the gdal plug in which comes with mapnik in doesn't support ecw...

Pedro, That is correct, the Mapnik binaries provided for windows do not include the gdal plugin with support for formats such as ecw or MrSid. You would need to recompile the library that is the 'gdal plugin' (with is separate from Mapnik's core library) against a gdal version built with that support.

[OSGeo-Discuss] AGU in December (Volunteers)
All, Tyler is speaking at the American Geophysical Union conference Dec 14-18(Booth is 15-18) in San Fransisco. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AGU_2009 I'm interested to know who is already planning to go to the AGU and could help at the booth occasionally? Several members of the California chapter have volunteered to run the booth, we're just looking to make sure we have some additional help before we commit the funds. We need to know before the marketing meeting tonight, 11pm PST if we have enough people to do the booth or not.
