[OSGeo-Discuss] UN FAO and FOSS / OSGEO Projects
Hi, I am googling on the topic in GIS / mobile GIS for farming, forestry, forest management and forestry carbon applications I found out that Refractions did a UN FAO Mobile GIS System for Agriculture Monitoring. Mobile GIS System for Agriculture Monitoring – United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization http://www.refractions.net/expertise/casestudies/2005-12-unfao/ There is no screenshot of the software and no proper web link to the actual project which you can download the software. It is just www.fao.org. is this LGPL project? UN FAO probably sponsored some FOSS projects. I know that FAO sponsored the VB bindings for GDAL but I never saw the FAO project that uses this VB bindings - the actual FAO software / application. OSCAR is also sponsored by FAO. http://www.fao.org/docrep/012/i1447e/i1447e.pdf http://source.otago.ac.nz/oscar http://source.otago.ac.nz/oscar/OSCAR_Home Geoff, could we see a screenshot of OSCAR. http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@lists.osgeo.org/msg05931.html I hope we can download OSCAR soon. Now, do you know any other UN FAO sponsored FOSS / Geo projects? Thanks. Regards, Noli ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Now, do you know any other UN FAO sponsored FOSS / Geo projects? Not only software, but data too; the FAO have released Africover data: http://www.africover.org/ This has made its way into OpenStreetMap: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Africover/DEPHA Cheers, Joseph On 20 July 2010 23:25, Noli Sicad nsi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am googling on the topic in GIS / mobile GIS for farming, forestry, forest management and forestry carbon applications I found out that Refractions did a UN FAO Mobile GIS System for Agriculture Monitoring.

Hi Joseph, Thanks. Nice to know about OSGeo in Africa. Correction to my earlier posting, the project below is of course LGPL. uDig is LGPL. I am just thinking where we can download it. It seems that everybody is clamoring for Mobile GIS System, yet this is one developed already by Reflaction and FAO but not available for public download based on the information below.

Will not be in Ubuntu Archive as some components still 'non-free' 2. follow instructions on website. Essentially open terminal in downloads directory.
