[OSGeo-Discuss] Java Tribe - contact?
Hi All - I have just returned from Big Data Camp 2011 in Silicon Valley, an informal collection of talks and presentations prior to the Hadoop conference tomorrow.. I ran across a developer who is interested in putting spatial indexes and search into Cassandra. My impresion is that his company i ssupportive of the work. Anyone from the Java world that would like to take up this conversation? Please send an email to me off list and I can put up in contact. best regards -Brian == Brian Hamlin GeoCal OSGeo California Chapter (415) 717-4462 cell ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[OSGeo-Discuss] Any projects dealing with spatial joins?
I'm looking for a project that I could contribute to as a C# (maybe Java) developer. In particular, I'm looking for something that focuses on ways to perform flexible spatial joins with some degree of efficiency. The simplest case I'm thinking of is where someone picks 2 or more database tables (associated with location), and asks to see a combined table. No maps involved, just tables (with the overlapping ground area thrown in if we're dealing with a polygon/polygon overlay). A more complex case would be a situation where someone wants to isolate an area based on the attributes in database tables, but doesn't have any advance idea of where to start looking. For example, I'm looking for a combination of A+B+C that covers at least 1000 hectares, but I'm starting with a database that covers the whole world. So to obtain some measure of efficiency, it would presumably be nice to have access to relatedgeneralizations of the location data. Is anyone working on this sort of thing?

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Any projects dealing with spatial joins?
We have just been looking at a proposal for a Join interface (an extension to our Query) interface in GeoTools. If you would like to drop by geotools-devel you will find this to be a topical subject. The functionality of a join is part of the Web Feature Server 2.0 specification so you should find a lot of projects running into it as a concept over the next year. -- Jody Garnett On Thursday, 30 June 2011 at 8:25 AM, Steve Stanton wrote: I'm looking for a project that I could contribute to as a C# (maybe Java) developer.

Steve, I'm pretty sure that the QGIS project could use your talents as a C++ developer. They have been talking about table joins for awhile now.

SharpMap is an easy-to-use mapping library for use in web and desktop applications. It provides access to many types of GIS data, enables spatial querying of that data, and renders beautiful maps. The engine is written in C# and based on the .Net 2.0 framework. SharpMap is released under GNU Lesser General Public License. http://sharpmap.codeplex.com/ It has support for Spatialite - SQLite Spatial extension. http://blog.geomusings.com/2009/04/11/spatialite-provider-code-for-sharpmap-09/ Spatialite Cookbook http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite-2.4.0-4/spatialite-cookbook/index.html Noli On 6/30/11, Steve Stanton sstan...@btinternet.com wrote: I'm looking for a project that I could contribute to as a C# (maybe Java) developer.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Booth at FOSS4G...
Hi all, it's that time of year to think more about what we want the OSGeo booth to look like at FOSS4G. In the past it has served as a meeting place and key location for helping connect people with projects and their teams, etc. Think back to the last booth you may have seen and share your thoughts for what would make it even better. We have a nice central location with a fair bit of room. Also, if you are interested in helping run the booth, even if just for an hour or two, let me know. I usually coordinate the booth, but since I won't be able to attend this year (new baby coming at same time!), I'd love to work with others to line up handling the booth. Any thoughts or ideas?

[OSGeo-Discuss] Liberal licensing of Project Overviews in LiveDVD, do we want this?
Hi Guys, Cameron has just posted the new licensing details for the LiveDVD. I presume if you actually opened my post that you may be concerned with how Project Overviews may be used. If you have any opinions on this matter PLEASE speak up -- don't just sit in the background as *Cameron will take the lack of any responses as an implicit YES to his proposal*. Personally I have a problem with Project Overviews, or any technical documentation for that matter, being locked up in Commercial-in-Confidence derivatives. I think Project Overviews, which can be legitimately be included 'as is' in a proposal or design document, shouldn't need to be reworked. To me the reworked document, which needs to include your name as original author, implies some sort of collaboration has occurred when none has occurred. Yes, reworked documents do look better but contribute nothing the the broader CC/FOSS/OSGeo community. But this is my opinion. If you have one - for or against - *especially those people that have authored the Project Overviews*, SPEAK UP! -- Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Principal Consultant Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, VIC W: www.botanicusaustralia.com.au ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
