Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Does osgeo provide infrastructure for non-incubating projects?

2011-04-06 Thread Fernando González
Thanks both for your answers and sorry for the delay (I've been traveling).

Steve, sorry, I think I haven't expressed myself clear at all. I'm
interested in osgeo as organization but I'm afraid the project is not
mature enough to enter incubation. I think I could find free hosting
easily, but I wouldn't like to migrate some time later again.

Frank, I've read Project Evaluation Criteria and, in my opinion, we
are able to fulfill all the requirements in short term except of
substantial user/developer community. Recently, some organizations got
interested in helping to develop the project which *could* solve the
problem of communities.

I can only foresee two problems. First, I don't know if osgeo may be
interested in a GIS specific language even if it ever matches the
requirements. Second, for its very nature, I don't think it is
possible to create a big developer community because the used
technologies are not easy to learn, but I hope I'm wrong.

If these problems are not such, we would be *very grateful* to use an
osgeo mailing list. We could keep the paid infrastructure while the
project evolves and it becomes clear if it can enter incubation or
not.

Hope I've been clear enough. I find it difficult to explain the
problem so don't hesitate to ask for anything you don't understand.

Best regards.

 The first step is to
 create a work group to learn GGL2 technologies so we need a mailing
 list and a public SCM (we work with a private one currently).

 Is it possible to get such infrastructure from osgeo? Some people in
 GearScape mailing list suggested to ask here for a trac instance and
 even to apply for incubation. I like the incubation idea but I guess
 we're not so big yet. Would it be possible at least to start by being
 hosted? I think GGL2 is somewhat innovative and it could be
 interesting for osgeo to include such a project if it ever succeeds.

 Fernando,

 Yes, OSGeo does sometimes provide mailing list, Trac and SVN services for
 non-OSGeo (ie. non-incubating) projects. For mailing lists the barrier is
 quite low. For Trac/SVN you need someone on the system administration
 committee who is willing and able to do the work. That proponent then
 makes a motion on the SAC mailing list, and once passed provides notice
 to the board in case there are concerns. Generally speaking the hard
 part of the process is finding someone willing and able to do the work.
 The rest just slightly delays things.

 We (on SAC) are generally more supportive of projects that we think have
 a prospect of going through incubation at some point or that are closely
 related to existing OSGeo projects.

 Best regards,


 Fernando,

 You might also look at http://code.google.com/ or sourceforge, both provide
 these services if you can not get a SAC advocate for your project.

 Best regards,

[OSGeo-Discuss] Question about MacOS X packages

2011-04-06 Thread Gérald Fenoy
Hi,
I'm now wondering what is the correct way to add a MacOS X Package to the 
OSGeoLive DVD ?

Indeed as presented here [1] we get a simple MacOS X installer to easily deploy 
ZOO-Kernel and
OGR base vector operations services. Si I would like to add the package to the 
list of available 
software for MacOS X but I don't know the way to go.

Hope to hear from you,
best regards,

Hi everyone,

I saw this news that might be of interest of this community:

OpenStreetMap editing now faster, smarter and smoother

http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/OpenStreetMap-editing-now-faster-smarter-and-smoother-1222807.html

It's related to a rewrite of the OpenStreeMap Editor called Potlatch2

The Open Source License is WTFPL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WTFPL),
haven't seen that one often ;)

Have a great day!

The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science,

development of data services for the academic water science research
community.



The Senior Software Engineer/Architect will develop a strategy to transition
a standards-based services-oriented architecture for publication and
discovery of water data from a research project to an operational service.
The research project, CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS) consists of
a central metadata catalog (HydroCatalog), a data publication server stack
(HydroServer) and a data access, visualization, and analysis client
(HydroDesktop). HIS has been developed in a Microsoft .NET environment and
utilizes various commercial packages, including Microsoft SQL Server and
ESRI’s ArcGIS Server software.



The ideal candidate will have both a background in water science research
(in the fields of earth science, engineering, or ecology) and a strong
informatics background with understanding of Open Geospatial Consortium
(OGC) web service and data encoding standards, web services, and relational
data bases. The ideal candidate will possess the leadership and management
skills necessary to work in interdisciplinary teams and to manage employees.
**



To be considered for this position, candidates must possess a combination of
degrees that provide expertise in hydroinformatics with the highest degree
being either a PhD, multiple Master’s Degrees or a Master’s Degree with at
least 3 years of experience. The degrees may be in computer science,
hydrologic science or engineering or a combination of fields.**



Please submit your resume—including names, addresses, and contact
information for 3 to 5 references—and cover letter to bus...@cuahsi.org.
Interviews will begin in May 2011 and continue until a suitable candidate
has been found. We have a target hiring date of July 1, 2011.  The preferred
location for this position is in CUAHSI’s Medford, MA office, but alternate
locations will be considered.

excellence through diversity.  Qualified women and minorities are encouraged
to apply.
