I've got an inteview lined up for Volume 12, but I'm also looking for:

A software project that would be willing to help me with project spotlight

A case study of an organization that successfully applied open source

Please let me know if you can help with either of those items.

Thanks so much for your support!

[OSGeo-Discuss] FOSS4G-CEE 2013 Code Sprint Day

2013-04-03 Thread Codrina Maria Ilie

Dear friends and colleagues,
It became an unspoken tradition that at every FOSS4G event held anywhere 
in the world, the talks, the workshops always go great together with 
giving the participants the opportunity of getting their hands dirty 
with a little bit of programming, documentation writing and fancy 
programming chatting. FOSS4G-CEE 2013 is no exception. Therefore, On 
Thursday the 20th of June, we’ll bring comfy hacking spaces with one of 
the greatest view over Dâmbovița river, wireless internet, pizza and 
beverages. You bring your high spirits, enthusiasm and ideas. In our 
attempt to make the Code Sprint Day as best as possible, we prepared a 
wiki page where we kindly invite you to write your name and a short 
project/idea description.

For the wiki page, go here. [1]

The proud sponsor of Code Sprint Day is TeamNet International SA, one of 
the leading ITC integrators in Romania. With over 11 years of 
experience, TeamNet offers complete integrated solutions, from 
developing and implementing custom software solution, to complex 
communication and hardware infrastructure services, for both national

[OSGeo-Discuss] Spreading awareness about new trash mapping wiki

2013-04-03 Thread Boris Mamlyuk (bmamlyuk)
Dear open source friends,

I've been trying to raise awareness for a new trash reporting wiki we are 
starting -- it is meant to be a global expansion of Italy's DecoroUrbano.  

Please share this with your open source colleagues.  There are a number of 
trash reporting apps as you know -- the key distinguishing feature of this is 
the fact that it is open-source (keeping data in the public domain) and is 
intended to be global.

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/cleanapp-a-one-click-global-wiki-based-trash-reporting-app/x/2681806

Thank you,

Boris

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [Live-demo] Proposal: OSGeo home page to link to OSGeo-Live Project Overviews

2013-04-03 Thread Hamish
Hi all,

Cameron wrote:
 OSGeo Web Committee,
 Currently, there are a list of OSGeo projects at http://osgeo.org,
 most of which link to an
  OSGeo page describing the project (eg http://www.osgeo.org/deegree). 
 Unfortunately, these
 OSGeo Project pages are not being maintained.
 
 I propose that instead the list should link to the OSGeo
 Live Project Overviews, such as: 
 http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/deegree_overview.html

I don't feel strongly one way or the other about it, just
to note that in the past months I've been pointing to the
live.osgeo.org overview pages when mentioning a project to
someone, in the same way that one might link to wikipedia
when describing some thing or another. I think the live dvd
overview pages fill that role quite nicely, and as Cameron
mentioned they're kept reasonably up to date.

maybe some apache server alias magic could cleanse the url
strings to make it look like you are still at
 http://www.osgeo.org/${project}_overview.html,
if anyone cares about that?


fwiw looking at http://www.osgeo.org/grass, I don't see much
there that would go out of date very quickly or is calling
out to be replaced by the live disc's overview page.
Maybe other pages are lacking. Care to name names so we can
fix them?

how do you propose to deal with osgeo projects which are not
on the live disc for some reason or another? (and that list
of installed packages changes with time)


 These Project Overviews are updated every 6 months as part
 of the OSGeo-Live build process, and are written in a
 consistent manner, with OSGeo branding.
 
 Note: A secondary option could be to link to the Project's
 home page instead. I suggest that links to OSGeo-Live
 Project Overviews are preferable due to the consistent
 layout of the Project Overviews.

either way, I'd stay with linking to a consistent summary page
rather than the home pages directly, when the purpose of the
link is to describe the project. (instead of say when the
purpose is to download the software binaries in as few clicks
as possible)


best,
Hamish
