[OSGeo-Discuss] Is Your Project In OSGeo Labs?
I'm in the process of trying to take over as the steward for OSGeo Labs as part of my duties with the OSGeo Incubation Committee. As part of this process I'd like to get a handle on the projects that are in labs. There is a short list of stable and young and experimental projects on the current Labs wiki page. Since I'm editing that page today, here is the list: Stable Projects: - GeoWebCache - pgRouting Young and Experimental Projects - GeoExt - GeoFunctions - Geoinformatica - OpenGeocoder - OpenRouter - Grids - OSGeo Graphics - pycsw - OWSLib - SemanticGeo - ZOO-Project Can you please let me know if you are involved with one of these projects? I'm trying to determine which projects are in labs, and then establish a point of contact with each project so I can help them get ready for official incubation. Thanks. Landon P.S. - If you have thoughts on the purpose and work of OSGeo Labs, please let me know. I have my own vision, but I'd like to get feedback from other OSGeo members. ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G NA Web Site
is there a color theme chosen ? Is it available somewhere? We have desktop artwork for the next OSGeo Live to be done in the next month or two It would be great to see something roughly in synch -- Brian Hamlin OSGeo California Chapter mapl...@light42.com ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Since I'm editing that page today, here is the list: Stable Projects: - GeoWebCache - pgRouting Young and Experimental Projects - GeoExt - GeoFunctions - Geoinformatica I think these are more or less mine: - OpenGeocoder - OpenRouter There is an OpenGeocoderRouter list that I started but there is no viable activity on it at this time. OpenRouter is a project related to internet routing. I started OpenGraphRouter using a GSoC project to get started. The goal was to create a routing solution that was MIT-X licensed instead of GPL. We have sine joined forces with pgRouting and are developing the code that is MIT-X algorithms, which can be bundled with pgRouting effectively making them dual licensed. OpenGeocoder.net appears to be Steve Coast @ Microsoft and not related to OSGeo stuff. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OpenGeocoder never got off the ground, but I have been working with PAGC over the last few years. Our big issue at the moment is addressing some serious performance issues when you scale up from county level data sets to national data sets. Basically it is just me and Walter, the developer, working behind the scenes on these technical issues. Once these are resolved I hope to see if we can some activity going again with this. On a side note, I have take the address standardizer from PAGC, built it as a library and wrapped it into a postgresql stored procedure extension. Based on that I have prototyped up a Tiger geocoder that works very well and is very fast. I'm still work on various things so it is not ready for prime time but this might eventually become OpenSource also. I'm not sure what it means or how you get a project like these in labs but these are mostly orphaned except I have an interest in them and will respond to queries about them.

Since I'm editing that page today, here is the list: Stable Projects: - GeoWebCache - pgRouting Young and Experimental Projects - GeoExt - GeoFunctions - Geoinformatica Geoinformatica is my project, it's not young, but it's experimental. It's made of a part in C, libral, and several Perl packages, which build on GDAL and GTK+ Perl bindings (I also maintain the GDAL Perl bindings). The oldest parts are in libral, which date at least 10 years back. libral was a simple raster algebra package, but I've added to it a simple visualization library to render GDAL rasters and vectors to a memory canvas (pixbuf), which can be given to GDK (a GTK+ subsystem). I've made an effort to separate this library into a library of its own (gvl - also a part of Geoinformatica), but it's not in use. Geoinformatica has a very small community, I guess one reason is because the Perl geospatial community is small(?) and distributed. Also, maybe it's the experimental or personal thing, but maintaining stable APIs or a reasonable development path in several interdependent libraries has been quite difficult for me. However, I regularly use Geoinformatica myself. I use the GUI a bit less because QGIS has become very good and because there is not yet useful WMS and WFS GUIs to use the GDAL WMS and WFS drivers in it. Lately I've written WxS servers (WMS and WFS are functional already) with it - Perl has traditionally very good web/CGI support so that's interesting. I think OSGeo Labs could be a good forum and platform for collaboration with academia, especially the OSGeo Academic Network and the emerging network of research labs collaborating with OSGeo and FOSS4G in general. One issue I have observed is that the developer community in academic FOSS4G (and other geospatial) users/members is still a small minority. Yes, I'm in academia too. This may be the best portal for Geoinformatica things in the web http://geoinformatics.aalto.fi/en/software/ Cheers and thanks Landon for taking this up, Ari - OpenGeocoder - OpenRouter - Grids - OSGeo Graphics - pycsw - OWSLib - SemanticGeo - ZOO-Project Can you please let me know if you are involved with one of these projects?
