Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] UK Interoperability Assessment Plugfest
Daniel, Arnulf et all Astun have been in contact with the Ordnance Survey regarding this and would like to participate. I'm still trying to understand the outcomes from a business perspective i.e. will there be negative backlash if software doesn't have a positive outcome. We have a possible issue with timing but we should be able work though this. My thoughts at present are that the following software would be looked at by Astun (which are core to our services): - MapServer (vanilla - MapCache potentially could if people felt the need) - GeoServer (vanilla) - OGR (via Loader!) - QGIS (Client only) Interestingly, I think the latter 3 are all used by OS so I'll be interested to understand their view on the 'compliance' of those. I'll try to keep you all posted on this - if any other UK OSGeo users / companies (or elsewhere in the world) would like to be involved I'm happy to try to coordinate where possible - unless someone else wishes to...

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Problem with Geos-3.2.2, Python Swig
Hi Thomas, Since GEOS 3.0, the Python bindings are unsupported, but the `--enable-python` option is still exposed in case a new developer wants to step in and support it. Try removing this option. However, the good news is that you can use Shapely to do the same work, as it uses the GEOS C API.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Introduction
Everyone, I just wanted to send out an email to introduce myself. I have been reading these threads for a while, but have never really had the time to offer support. I can now dedicate time to really contribute and be an effective part of the OSGeo community. My name is Mike Goldberg, and recently graduated (2006) from Shippensburg University with a degree in Geography / GIS. Post undergrad, i spent a year in Shanghai, taking in the culture and learning as much Mandarin I could. Currently, I work for Bentley Systems as an Account Manager for their Geo/Civil product lines. I am a fairly new Linux user but love the Open Source aspect of the OS. I'll be honest and say that I haven't had much experience with the open source GIS solutions as I've done most of my work with proprietary software in Windows. I hope to bring fresh ideas to help bolster Open Source GIS as an alternative, not a replacement, to proprietary software. I think there is a time and place for both, with each having it's own benefits and pitfalls. I look forward to working with everyone here to make Open Source software better! Thanks!

RE: [Geodata] Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Promoting freely available geodata
More from the Canadian perspective - the GeoConnections program policy group has produced a Best Practices Guide for licensing of geospatial data which might help to inform the debate: http://www.geoconnections.org/publications/Best_practices_guide/Guide_to_Best_Practices_v12_finale_e.pdf It provides a good overview of the background issues and proposes 3 types of licences to standardize on: unrestricted-use with licence acknowledgement (click-through), an end-user licence and a distributor licence.

Given the interest, maybe the 'OSGeo people' who are already involved could organize a BOF session, and also do some presentations. If there are 'local' resources such as Canadian municipal/provincial/federal managers(or perhaps even better, people from their legal departments) who could attend, then perhaps they could also participate in the BOF/presentations. Also, maybe there are lawyers who are local(e.g. Victoria or BC) any who have some interest or expertise who could attend - even if their perspective is based on Canadian law, it might still help illuminate the discussions. -- Dave Patton Canadian Coordinator, Degree Confluence Project http://www.confluence.org/ Personal website - Maps, GPS, etc. http://members.shaw.ca/davepatton/ ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
